Digital Countdown

Posted on December 31, 2008 by

Hello all, First of all, I’m sorry, but I’m having issues with my card-reader, so the sparkly martini pics may not be up for a bit… I’ll try to have them up before tonight. In the meantime, though, I have … Continue reading →

Taking the Long Way Home

Well, the move-in was finished late Sunday night.  It’s now Thursday morning and I’m leaving tonight for New York. It’s a 14 hour flight or so, which I dread, but it’s the only way to get back home. I am … Continue reading →

Christmas Swirls

Posted on December 13, 2008 by

I’m in the middle of packing (still!) but I wanted to do at least one more post before we move and lose our Internet. I only did four fingers because I’m really short on time! This is a really simple … Continue reading →

Dusk

Posted on December 11, 2008 by

This is a fabulous color which I just love. It doesn’t look like much at first glance but I found myself appreciating it the more I looked at it. It’s a gray-based purple shimmer. (Grayuple? Purlgray?) Usually I keep gray … Continue reading →

Shimmering Orchid

Posted on December 9, 2008 by

Holiday Garnet

Posted on December 8, 2008 by

I’m crazy about duochromes- those colors that change according to how the light hits them. There is no good way to franken them- I’ve tried pigments, paint and polish together but haven’t found a way to make a really good … Continue reading →

Ticked Off Tenant Purple

Posted on December 7, 2008 by

Well, it’s been settled. I’m moving out. Next weekend. While getting ready for Christmas/going home/year end stuff. If you read some of my other posts, you know that I either had to tell my current landlord/real estate agent to shove … Continue reading →
