Calling on ArtistGirl

Ok, my neighbor is over there likely throwing some beautiful pots right now and my friend Kelly spent much of the holiday season fashioning some awesome glass beads and making shadow boxes. My friend Noelle is currently ensconced in what may be the most artfully done apartment I think I've ever seen, layered with so much color, texture and whimsy it makes my heart spin. And of course Tracy right about now is popping some great snaps of Nico or life in Baltimore through her very artsy lens. My friends are all highly creative. And so am I.

I've been rocking the analytical brain too long. Barking like a seal and balancing a ball on my nose for applause is a more like it. Motherhood has cast me back in the ocean of the only true language: beauty. Maybe 2011 will be the start of something good.

Friendship on a Friday Night

mini leather bracelet from kjoo

These bracelets remind me of 'friendship bracelets' of my youth. I was always amazed and not just a little envious of those friend-loaded souls (or maybe people with time on their hands) who wore a wrist-full at one time (and for months such that they became faded and frayed). I thought 'wow, what nice and committed friends they must be'. Well, I am 'nice and committed' too. Well, mostly nice and committed.

I snagged this image from SFgirlbythebay. With appreciation. I enjoy your blog. xo
