All of our jewelry is made from highly collectable uncirculated vintage Lucite (manufactured from the 1950s through the 1970s), brass and 24k gold plate. Most pieces are one of a kind. 99% of the Lucite beads and bangles come from the inventory of Best Plastics, a providence RI, Lucite manufacturer. The beads that we use have in most cases been machined from an extruded rod of Lucite. Many of the bangles and some of the beads in our stock are featured in the reference book "Plastic Bangles" by Lyn Tortoriello and Deborah Lyons. Best Plastics manufactured and designed jewelry for Avon, Coro, Trifari, Napier and Diane Von Furstenberg.

I met this amazing artist at an art gallery/party, J.J. Cromer. Had been admiring his work for a while. I have my eye on a few of his pieces. He is an untrained or "outsider" artist but has a serious mind. There are a lot of archetypical/Jungian elements in there. Check out his work at: http://www.greyart.com/

I went to that "great books school," where I did alot of reading and so I have moved on to cartoons for now. I especially like Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Actually, I have been reading alot of cookbooks lately-to do with CHOCOLATE! La Maison Du Chocolate, and Pierre Herme have some great books out. I am a big fan of Laduree and can actually bake French macaron-getting pretty good at baking actually. I have been to every important restraunt in Paris-Ducasse, Robuchon, Taillevant among others. My cookbook collection is overflowing. I am also reading about surrealism and dada. I LOVE the artist Roberto Matta, he is a surealist. My goal in life is to be able to aford any painting of his from the 1940's. I might have to steal one if it comes down to it. Seriously I am not kidding.

'But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no reason to conspire. They needed only to rise up and shake themselves, like a horse shaking off flies. If they chose, they could blow the party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely, sooner or later, it must occur to them to do it. And yet ...' - George Orwell, 1984
Sonia Rykiel, Vivianne Westwood, Consuela Castiglioni, Miuccia Prada. Tom Binns. I know it's left field but-Alexander Hamilton, George Soros, Plato, Catherine De'Medici, Princess Diana, William Blake, My MOM and DAD and my big brother GLEN. Strongbad. Pastry chef Pierre Herme. And the surrealist Roberto Matta. http://www.matta-art.com/ Another fav is musicalist surrealist, Vasily Kandinsky. Oh and Sune Rose Wagner for making one of the greatest albums ever and Regina Spektor for her eloquence. This pretty much sums it up does'nt it?
