~ Violet ~

I made an Etsy treasury today in which I fully indulged my recent crush on the color violet. I love it so much I feel compelled to recreate it here, where I can gaze lovingly at it and sigh melodramatically as long as I like (Etsy treasuries last only 3 days and then, *poof* they are lost to the ether). Luminous violet, a flash of turquoise, and charcoal to hold it all together.

An ode to my favorite weather. I love cool, gloomy days, when the wind hints at storms offshore and anticipation hangs heavy in the air.
A palette of dark ash, pale grey, and ice blue.

~ Kind of Blue ~

Working on my winter collection, I am dipping into a palette of deep blues, cool greys, and midnight black.


Trying to capture that icy, brilliant clarity of the winter night sky, the snow covering the pavement, your breath crystallizing in the air.

I have a playlist for my current NaNo novel, but also one for my jewelry as well. If this necklace were a song, it would be No Air.
