No Better Time Than the Present.

And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

Sweet Dreams or a Beautiful Nightmare.

Ok so things are getting a bit hectic around here. One week till launch, and my table is filled with unfinished work, and concepts! It is chaotic, I like to think of it as organized chaos. Even though I am launching August 15th, there is more work yet to be done. I will be introducing a line of metal pieces, and rustic over-the-top rings, with black diamonds (amongst other stones), and once those pieces are ready to go, it is back to the drawing board to work on pieces for my Spring 2010 collection.

Check out that pretty little fabric in the pics! I picked up tons of pretty voile' fabric which I will fashion into rosettes and folded roses for some of my vintage-inspired statement necklaces.

Never Stop Moving.

Forgive me if these pics aren't the best, I took them with one eye open at 1AM - Here are a few pieces that were made in the studio last night. Only 9 more days until the launch of Frank & Myrrh!!!

Understated.

I got bored with beads & baubles last night, and started playing around with vintage sequins. I think some of these pieces have a very organic feel to them, the roughness of the sequins along with the daintiness of the chain lends a bit of a flirty feel to the finished product.

Still playing around with these concepts...

Keep Going!

Awesome movie. Especially when you are watching in bed at 4am!
