Interesting

I am always looking for inspiration in everything. I always have my camera ready, because I just never know what interesting thing, moment or person I am going to find in the streets of new York City. And for those of you that live here or have visited, you know that there is always something or someone interesting to see.  Last weekend, as I walked through Times Square with my husband and son, we stopped to see the man in the picture above creatively use the bucket behind him and the concrete floor to give a two minute drum concert. He played really good, as passer-by looked and took pictures of him. Very interesting I thought. But what really caught my attention was the way he picked up his money bucket, which he referred to as "Phillip", his manager, and then proceeded to tell the crowd to "fill it up". Very creative!! This picture will definitely be part of my mood board.

King Tut Exhibition

This past Sunday my husband, Son and I Went to  Discovery Times Square to see the King Tut exhibit. I was amazed by the beauty of many of the artifacts shown in the exhibition, and of course, more the jewelry than anything else. As a Jewelry Designer, I am often mesmerized by intricate, delicate, and elaborate jewelry pieces. The jewelry shown at the New York King Tut exhibition, (Like the one shown in the picture) is not only full of history. The beauty and the details that these one of a kind pieces made for a king show, are worthy of anybody taking a second look. Gold, Semi precious stones such as Lapis Lazuli, and Silver are among the materials used in many of the jewelry pieces displayed in the exhibition. If you live in New York or are planning a trip by January 2nd, do attend this wonderful exhibition, as you may never have another chance of seeing it again.
