Inspirations

Color inspirations can be everywhere if you are open to it and really look at your surroundings.

Good Valentine color focal point but somehow it reminds me of Amsterdam!

Triton

New beads. Triton over intense blue transparent. This is definately going in a necklace.

Score of the Day

OK, this is shallow but here's my incrediable purchase for the week. Black organza dress, semi-deconstructed (think Helen Bonham Carter in "The Fight Club"). Yes, I got the same dress in two colors. Can you check the tag in the photo? $10!

Beauty for Today

Polymer Play

Spent Sunday afternoon playing with some polymer clay, something I haven't done in a couple of years. I still have ALL the stuff and had meant to get rid of it but...you know.

These necklaces are from an article in the last issue of Belle Armoire Jewelry. Doors to dreams? Secrets? Wishes?



I tried a few variations, even a window, still working on what I like best but "play" is fun!

Shiver by Maggie Steifvater

Wow, this was such a good read. Yes, it's a werewolf novel but the wolf angle is just a vehicle for the relationship between the two main characters. A "YA" (Young Adult) novel but the writing is such poetry that adults will be hooked as well.
