Time

 In this time with so many thoughts going through my head, here I am after not being here since July 2015. Here I am with positive thoughts, positive vibes. Here to reconnect, here to continue to be - you feel me. Just felt like saying that you feel me part (smiling).

Not stressing about grammatical rules even though I'm a stickler for it but this time, this me time is about freedom, freedom to express respectfully, freedom to be. 

Here not to stay, here just to test, here to let time do the rest. Continue to be safe and well. 

Another Day to Play

Another day to play, so Alcohol Inks it is. No cuts, no bruises only AI.

Alcohol Ink Play

May 19 - wow !

May 19, 2014 - wow over a year ago. Amazing how time flies and yes I'm still here. I took time out - time out to reflect, time out just be, time out from so many things to do something for me.

During that time I still played so enjoy....

All - inspired by John Legend's All of me

It was almost the end of my shift, in fact I only had 15 minutes left and I was restocking the Sterling Silver. I pulled out the tray with the hearts and suddenly I heard John Legend's song " All Of Me" playing in my head. Go to http://beadfx.com/inspirations/inspirations.php?id=638  for the components etc. if you want to put this necklace together.

Blame it...

Out of having to restock the semi-precious stones this necklace came, me no it's not me so I had to find someone to blame.The rest of it is history, so click on the link and you'll see...http://beadfx.com/inspirations/inspirations.php?id=633

The Great Gatsby @ Fashionworks14

Rae's Beady Arts was at Fashionworks14

My Great Gatsby offering for Fashionworks14

Another Great Gatsby Offering - Fashionworks14

More Great Gatsby for sure.

I'm a member of the George Brown College alumni and recently I got the opportunity to exhibit my work, along with top industry partners at  Fashionworks14 http://www.georgebrown.ca/fashionworks/. It was a wonderful evening to chat with the Fashion Management students, faculty and other members of the alumni.


This year's theme was The Great Gatsby and I made several pieces to represent my interpretation of it. It was indeed an honour to be there and the pleasure is mine to wish this year's graduated Fashion Management Students continued success in all their future endeavors.
