What a great day spent with and the senior jewelry class! We spoke about presenting yourself, nest steps as you leave Pratt, social media, and being a good person in our very small community. Then Jennifer spent one-on-one time with each of the seniors to polish their artist statements- so important for their careers. Thank you for an amazing morning! 🧡🧡🧡

I’ve never posted my daughter all these years, but today I think I can break that taboo. In a totally male dominated field, Sophia won the NY state championship in speech & debate with her humorous interpretation of Legally Blonde- so so à propos!! This girl rocks! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

I was looking for a Maasai beaded necklace yesterday that I know needs conserving, because is all about beads this week (shoutout to Polly and the bead book display!). Instead of the Maasai necklace, I found this treasure right here- a Kabyle head piece (not headband as stated here) from the Kabylia region in northern Algeria that I got probably 30 years ago in London from (if that is indeed him). Strung up on fiber, it shows pieces of coral, beautiful small lamp worked beads and some bone beads, two silver coins, enameled silver square boxes, and more that I’ll look at in another post. The crazy thing though is that I researched a labbeh from Yemen at the last summer, and they are quite similar in many points. The PRM just published my short blog post I wrote for them on the labbeh, link 🔗 in bio. I’ll compare and contrast in the next posts, and follow me if you want to see me restring the broken bits, and mount it!

Harlem in the ❄️ so beautiful and quiet. Everyone disappears. The silence is velvety.

Christmas Eve at the new - this is Cleopatra’s Cape by Barbara Chase-Riboud, 1973. The construction of the building is extraordinary- everywhere you turn, there is another gallery. Go now!! And what a huge bonus- we bumped into the glorious Lana Turner, ever chic in mink. Happy holidays!! 🎄🎁
