Port Townsend Cruise 2010.

Two weekends ago was the annual Port Townsend Cruise hosted by ACHTUNING. The event is considered to be the "jump-start" event for the Pacific Northwest European car scene. This year there were over 450+ European cars that attended the cruise that also helped support NW Harvest---1600 lbs. of food and $200 was raised to donate to NW Harvest. Since my poor VW was & still isn't working, I tagged along with my friends. Here are just a few photos from the event:






I will make sure to post some more photos from the cruise on my Flickr page this weekend.

Also, just a little reminder: head on over to my my Etsy and take a look at the SALE SECTION.

sketchbook no. 2

This following necklace titled Morocco 7- Necklace is inspired by Moroccan tile work and is a continuation of my diseño collection.


This shape also reminds me of a simplified four leaf clover. This necklace would be great paired with my NEW Morocco 6- Earrings.


Here they are together:

book: Jewelry Making and Design

This past Saturday, my brother, sister-in-law, nephew and I all headed down to Portland for a day trip. And of course no visit to Portland is complete without stopping by Powell's Books.


I found this lovely Jewelry Making and Design book written by Augustus F. Rose and Antonio Cirino.


The reason I decided to get this book was because of all of the wonderful illustrations inside. I really like how simple the drawings are. I think the pages would look great framed.


Seeing how the book was published in 1967, most of the pictures are pretty grainy, but nevertheless I still enjoy them!
