'cause he knowses I don't do roses

My sweetie surprised me with these 'oh so lovelies' yesterday for our 3 year anniversary. So bright and cheery and just what I needed!

This is just too fun, I had to share… The Shoe Project, people's faces photographed with their shoes.

Toy Boat

Dad's boat…

I'll have more random studio pics to share tomorrow. (I went a little crazy with Dave's digital camera!)

a little more aqua and red…

(Pic of my dad's toy boat will be next and also a few shots of what I've been busy with in my studio lately…)

Colors I'm inpired by lately…

…red and aqua. I am obsessed with this combination lately. I'm using it for the epoxy resin elements in a few of my pieces for the Facere Jewelry Art Gallery Signs of Life show opening May 16th in Seattle.


It all started with a toy boat of my father's. He started collecting them through eBay a few years back and they have since taken over my parent's house! It's my favorite of all of them, a beautiful rusty old 1950's aqua and red toy boat. I'll take a pic of it and share that soon.

Flickr is so great for finding images of absolutely anything for reference. I searched by color and found all these!
