Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty at The Met

Wishing I could visit NYC for the Alexander McQueen exhibit at the Met from May 4 to July 31. It will include approximately 170 pieces, including clothing and accessories from the archives of the brand in London and the house Givenchy in Paris. Vogue Mexico reports:

The museum will be divided according to the ideas and concepts that inspired McQueen fashion. Romantic Gothic , for example, show his passion for history, the Victorian Gothic fascination with opposites like life and death or light and darkness. Romantic Nationalism reflect his interest in British and Scottish history; Romantic Exoticism that had influenced the designer cultures and faraway places as India and Japan, and Romantic Naturalism interest in wild nature, so evident in his latest collections of shoes “lobster” or printed fabrics with natural motifs and water.

Geodes and Druzies

Just breaking into some of my goodies I purchased at the last market.... Geodes and Druzies

Alleged power of the Druzy -
Druzy quartz are extraordinary crystals with the power to dissipate negative thoughts and emotions effectively radiating them away through many tiny points.

Send negative thoughts into the Druzy crystal and they will quickly disappear. The thoughts will be broken down into tiny, harmless snippets and flow away with so little power that they cannot infect another being.

Here are a couple of necklaces I have made and are currently in my Etsy shop....More to come soon....
