My goodness, I've been away for a long time. A lot has been going on with me, and I've been going through some things, artistically, which have been making me need to gather my strength and hibernate.I have changed some things around, so I have more design-time available. To be honest, after three years of carving out a space for myself, and my business, and driving driving driving... having MORE time to explore is kind of strange new territory. It is a little scary, in a way. WHAT NOW.
That is what each of these things up here makes me feel inspired by...new territory. New places to explore that I didn't know existed. Something open-ended and mysterious.
Necklace - and in fact all of Pamela Love's Fall 2010 Collection
Woven Baskets- Saw these in person and they are delicious! Also an interesting choice of color...
Artist Scarf Series - Particularly this one up here
This Dress - like the shape and motif- a great pattern for the city.
I hope you enjoy the adventure! And we all can't wait to see what creative burst this will produce!
Also? I love that dress.

Susy! I've missed you. But you're forgiven by coming back bearing these gorgeous things. I can't believe those are baskets! They look like bracelets; I want an arm full of them.

Hi sweets. Yes, I've needed to protect myself from the internet lately.
Sometimes, it can be a kind of a dangerous place to be, creatively, and I end up feeling less inspired...and more self-critical...especially if things are up in the air for me, or if I don't feel especially grounded. Do you know what i mean? So I have kind of been taking a break.

Oh HELLS to the YES I know exactly what you mean.
The fact that you were actually able to go away and stay away for a couple weeks? Now that's a feat. YOU are a strong woman. Also, smart.
