The most perfect French-inspired-red my nails have ever met:
Vodka and Caviar.

Satisfactorily Disatisfied
To be perfectly honest, I’m bored. I’m bored with life as I know it. Bored with the complacency that comfort affords and the lack of purpose or growth that I used to have when I was leading the university life. I’m a creature addicted to change – though I appreciate the calmness of steady everyday chores and of the 9-5, I am most comfortable when there is just a bit of turbulence in my path, a bit of chill to the air, the lingering suspicion that there is something soon to come – and that I may not like it when it gets here. Perhaps I’ve become just a smidge too satisfied with the way things are and it’s time to stir things up.
I want to fail at something – not to deflate my ego, but to remember what it feels like to try something new and learn that I have to learn it from the very first step all over again. To go through the frustrations of being an infant in the learning process, to find my way and to grow as I maneuver my way through the dark. I want to know the lows before I reach the highs of success, so that I may appreciate a journey that was not just handed to me, but that I earned through the sweat of my brow and the calluses on my hands. I want to be uncomfortable. I want to be more.

A New Year
Goodness. I haven't blogged in so long, I couldn't believe how long it had been since I had been when I went back and looked at my last post!
Well, to start off a new year, I'd like to revitalize my little blog-o-sphere. There's so many wonderful adventures I've had and so many new routes I'd like to pursue this year, both in my business and my little life here in California.
Things I will do this year:
1. Travel to Tucson for the annual gem show
(tickets have been purchased, rooms have been reserved!)
2. Take a class at the Revere Academy of Jewelry Making in San Francisco
(I have been utterly dying to learn more soldering and fabrication techniques)
3. Introduce my line of antique-inspired Brass jewelry.
(You all wouldn't know this since we haven't spoken in so very long, but I've been spending the last few months creating a new line of antique-inspired brass jewelry that I think is just perfection! They should be making their first debut in the next month or so)
4. Take time each month to see where I am and where I'd like to go.
(I really want to be in the today, to see where I am as an artist, as a person, and to take a hand in guiding myself along, every step of the way - you can join me if you like)
A New Year with all sorts of New Promising things to see!
