Feeling Danish in LA

Westbound Winter

Beginning of January I traveled west to see sights, hear sounds, and breath air that could be anything other than those of New York. It's too distracting to read a book in that city, so I decided to take an extended vacation and along the way I've seen some amazing things.
Since I haven't been able to make jewelry during my travels, I've invested a lot of time in looking at what other jewelers are making.

West Indies is not IN Indiana

Typically something about beach culture athestically nauseates me...the leather skin, the tacky patterns, and clashing colors practically latexed onto some pale northerners celluite. Well not this time...sailing around the west indies I saw the some of the beach culture I know from America. But mainly it was the colors, textures, lines, and patterns in their natural habitat. I really struck a liking to that authenticity.
