New Polymer Cuffs

The colors in Bangkok have inspired me and I am using more and more polymer clay.  Here are two of our latest cuffs.  Both one-of-kind, both to die for.
One of my new favorites. Reminiscent of a Caribbean sunset from our boat, this elegant sterling silver and polymer cuff is sure to get you feeling the sand on your toes.

Always changing the way I see things, this cuff is a colorful rendition of our cocnut cuff bracelet, except this one is hand-made ploymer clay and sterling silver.  I'm not sure I'm ready to see this one go just yet.

Home Sweet Home

We often talk about living on a boat, but can you really imagine it?  Our home moves and therefore every item in our pantry, cupboards and drawers are all must move, too.  The place would be a mess if we didn't have everything properly stowed behind our custom bamboo doors. 
The best seat in the house is undoubtedly this zen lounge in the sun. 
It is not all fun in the sun around here, we work too.  Here, Warren is hard at work at his bench on a horn cuff. 
It really is nice being able to do it all in such a nice space.  The environment certainly influences me at work and I am grateful to have such a wonderful sanctury that is so much more than a home, studio, or boat.

Bangkok 2010

I'm finally settled back into the more relaxed pace of home after the bustling trip to Bangkok.  It was so much fun!  The Chatuchuk weekend market has 15,000 stalls and is jammed packed full of everything you could imagine.  We saw more clothing, fabric, jewelry components, food, people, and goodies then we had ever imagined.  We had been warned about its size and that we needed phones to stay in contact with one another.  It was  no lie.  Getting sidetracked was simply too easy to not have a buddy plan.

The hotel was right on the river, and from the right room there was a terrific view.  We took the famous Tuk Tuks back and forth from the hotel to the market.  They are an essential part of the journey, but so stinky you want to wear a mask.


Thai silk is everywhere.  The colors are amazing, but perhaps most amazing is that its all hand woven. 
All in all, the trip was a huge success, amazing, fun, and inspiring.  I always love spending time with my friends, visiting new places, eating new foods, and shopping.  I bet you can't wait to see what we got...
