Florida

We bought an underwater camera, snorkels and masks and had the best time.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We saw so many more animals than we would have seen without the snorkels and masks, we were so glad that we bought them.  During our week stay we saw all kinds of fish and birds.  We had pelicans land in the water and grab fish right in front of us.  We found a baby octopus which suctioned onto our hands.  There were so many conchs crawling on the ocean floor leaving paths behind them.  On our last day I found a giant conch covered in barnacles, we named him Frodo and took his picture and then moved him into deeper water where no one would step on his pointy self.  He must have been pretty old.  None of the other conchs were anywhere close so his size.  Schools of manta rays swam around us as they paced up and down the shore line.  We saw a bunch of sting rays and tried to stay clear of them.  Ben got stung by one which was painful but he still didn't want to leave the beach.  Mostly the water was perfectly calm but there was one rough day.  All the surfers and a kite border came out and I got pretty tumbled in the waves.  There must have been a storm somewhere else causing it because we had beautiful weather.  We had so much fun, the week went by so fast.  We hope to go again next year.

Constellation Scarf




After tons of time and tons of work the Constellation Scarf is now in the shop.  I am so happy with how if turned out.  I love the extra large size that is great for wrapping around my neck and especially appreciate it now that the temperatures have dropped here in NYC.  I have worn this scarf everyday since it was finished and plan on wearing it all fall and winter. 

The Constellation Scarf was inspired by classic depictions of the night sky and its constellations. The scarf illustrates the major constellations of the the Fall sky in the northern hemisphere in white against a bright blue background and bordered by a deep grey.
This scarf is a large square and measures 44 inches by 44 inches. This scarf was illustrated and designed by me in my Brooklyn studio and digitally printed onto silk in California.

Take a look at the other scarves in the shop as well.

Honeycomb Statement Necklace




I am busy working on a bunch of pieces. I had made a large honeycomb necklace a long while ago but I was not quite happy with it so I never put it in the shop. I am having another go at it and hopefully I will be able to fix all the things I didn't like about the first one. I am happy with how it is coming along so far.

Haircut


I chopped my hair and donated 11 inches to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths.  
The program takes hair donations and makes wigs for women fighting cancer.  
It feels really great to be part of it.  Also, I am loving my new short cut.
