I just love this blog. Alice at The Carrotbox Blog featured our Luv Bug ring today on her fabulous ring blog. She showcases all sorts of new and wonderful rings. Alice is a ring artist herself. She makes gorgeous lucite and glass rings. My favorite pieces of her work are her Kimono rings. I just love the fabric embedded in the ring.
Thanks Alice.

So the part you don’t see in this picture is my hottie girl friend Lindsey hanging out of the window as we are doing 80 on the 405 going south at 4:45 on a Thursday trying to keep up with and pass this guy in the Dodge to get the shot, and me trying to describe to her how to use my camera…. All for Flickr…….
I am pretty sure we made his day though..
And yes we love cars…

Neon Buddha

Yesterday, my family and I ventured up to Chinatown in Los Angeles. We had never been to Chinatown so this was a new journey. I had read a couple day trip article in Sunset Magazine that had inspired the trip.
We had a wonderful time. I really enjoyed all the buildings, the signage, the lanterns everywhere, and all the great shopping. There was a store that I came across called http://Realmhome.com which was wonderful. Realm carried wonderful Quan Yin statues and butterfly strands and great art books. And other wonderful shiney things. That I wanted to take home. I had forgotten that Asian stores had lots of miniature things. I grew up in Hawaii and so Asian style has always been in my blood. So the trip sort of felt like a vacation home. I was presently surprised with all the cool art galleries in the area. We saw quite a few in the Chung King Alley. Another store I really enjoyed was Fongs. They had all kinds of wonderful miniatures. Even a miniature Fong’s store inside the store. They also had some wonderful jewelry designers work there. My plan had been to photograph the neon at dusk and when I started to shoot at dusk my camera stopped shooting and gave the old low battery sign. I was bummed. But now it just means we have a reason to go back. I can’t wait.
