Summer 2010 Collection: Desert Winds

A lot’s happened since my last entry in March and the title of my summer collection, Desert Winds, kind of sums it up nicely. I’ve traded the grime and grit of Brooklyn, NY for the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas, NV. I’ve left the glorious, humid New York summer to the suffocating, dry summer of Nevada. My relocation may be temporary, as I’m here to attend yoga teacher training and after I’ve graduated, I’m not sure where the path leads then. Crossing the country by car with my best friend last month ignited new passion for my country and my art. Passing through Ohio, the beautiful and lush landscape was green with spots of purple and even rarer, a few hints of white. I immediately thought of combining green turquoise with amethyst and freshwater pearls. As I passed through the red rock mountains of Utah spotted with green trees, I fell in love with carnelian all over again and looked forward to creating new pieces incorporating green turquoise. Since arriving, I’ve delved into yoga school and a commitment to living a spiritual life. It’s a moment-to-moment endeavor and I enjoy the challenge. I’m working to balance my spiritual work with my creative work and, therefore, haven’t completed my summer collection yet, but I wanted to show you how it’s looking thus far. Desert Winds will feature lots of turquoise, namely because I’m obsessed with turquoise and have been for many years. But it’s also the popular stone of this summer’s fashion trends!
