Me.

I was working on editing some images from a Boudoir Shoot I did and decided I needed to take a break. I don't know why I decided to snap a photo of myself with Becca's point and shoot- probably because I am silly like that to be honest. Anyway, I think this selfportrait albeit a snapshot speaks volumes about me.  My dresser is covered in books (shocking), photographs that I have printed out for myself that I have yet to have framed (shocking) jewelery and a diet coke that I had been carrying around with me.  I work a lot from my bedroom and I cannot tell you why I do this..except that maybe I am more comfortable there than at my other computer or desk area? Anyway, the tv is on in the backround which is really just on for the greys as I don't watch tv during the day and I feel like it leaves them with a sense of comfort when I leave the house or whatever. Anyway. I like the photo. Oh yeah- and the blue painter's tape? Yep, that was Steve's way of trying to encourage me to paint...a year ago. I don't like pressure. haha

I have a jewel of a jeweler. <3

Becca was in her room creating an original piece of jewelery.  She loves making custom jewelery pieces and I really enjoy watching her be so creative.  Her pieces are gorgeous and each one is an original piece of art.  I decided I had to photograph her at work on her latest creation.  I find the different tools she uses, how and what they are each used for during the process, all the colorful beads and different types of wires and clasps fascinating.  Who knew so much went into making jewelery?  I find it to be an impressive creative talent. 

Becca finished her project while I was updating the blog.  She made me a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind, black, multi-beaded wrist bracelet.  I love it and must say it looks rather dashing on my wrist. <3 ;)
