Belden

2010-07-08T11:52:00.001-07:00

I had the most fantastic 4th of July weekend up in Belden CA. It was a party up in the mountains, swimming and dancing in the day with powerful DJs with amazing electric piano notes, avant garde media art and a poetic dance performance at night, it reminded me of the "I Want to Break Free" Queen video of body diving. I am in love with the psychedelic experience. This is all new to me, I didn't really go anywhere or experience life to the fullest until about a year ago.

Exotic Orchids

2010-06-08T20:12:00.001-07:00

Orchid dangle earrings I made for my shop. I have been inspired by orchids since me and my boyfriend went to a orchid fair in SF a few months ago.

These earrings are made with crocheted silver plated wire, silver plated ear wires, moonstone beads, tiny gray pearls and lucite orchids.

handmade jewelry update

2010-05-27T13:29:00.001-07:00

Over the past couple months I got this huge interest in handmade jewelry. I have been fooling around with a bunch of different materials. I really love natural stones and pearls with silk ribbon, I also love crocheting wire, its the easiest so far, wire wrapping is very difficult for me, because I cant get it sturdy enough, but I want to get it eventually.

Morels!

2010-04-19T19:43:00.000-07:00

I went hiking up a big mountain to get to these mushrooms. They are rare and only sprout for about two weeks, once every spring. These mushrooms are very picky about where they grow, they only grow near certain trees and they concentrate in burnt areas. I got about 5 pounds of them. These morels have been dehydrated for preservation and I will be listing them in my store.

sea creatures...

2010-03-25T16:35:00.001-07:00

Me and my boyfriend have been doing a lot of fun things lately. Gem hunting, a orchid show and The Academy of Sciences are just a few... and it has been very inspiring.
Lately I have been wanting to learn the craft of jewelry making, so I have been obsessing over that and spending hours looking for materials. Here is my first practice earring. I was inspired by sea creatures.

Floral Mania!

2010-01-29T23:41:00.000-08:00

Spring is around the corner, the days are starting to get a little longer, and as usual I am inspired by nature, especially flowers. I have a few floral visions....I took some pics of roses my boyfriend gave me, they are so beautiful, a pattern of a new neon abstract top I thrifted and lately I got in my mind I want to learn to paint flowers.

Betsey Johnson!

2010-01-12T11:30:00.001-08:00

I love these 30s style Betsey Johnson dresses from the 90s, maybe because they are so feminine and elegant but casual at the same time.

another Art Deco 1920s suitcase

2009-12-29T17:16:00.001-08:00

I came across another 1920s deco suitcase. Don't they just have the best Art Deco graphics? and this one has the best floral interior. I think these type of suitcases were for a child or teen. I also heard they were overnight bags or they were used for carrying your stuff to the beach.... keep a eye out....it will be for sale in my store soon.

2009-05-27T11:54:00.000-07:00

I have accumulated some 1920s-30s clothes over this past weekend. I went to this amazing garage sale, it was full of clothes from the Victorian era to the 1930s. This woman was a huge collector and use to have a vintage clothing store in San Francisco about 20 years ago. I basically emptied my bank account, it was worth it :) I will be putting up dresses over the next few weeks in my store.
