We're all told to recycle and save the planet by not throwing as much away. And we're told that like we're so clever for working that out. Well, our ancestors had it right way before we came along. In the olden days we were experts at reusing waste. Even when that waste wasn't from our species.Think of Pearls. When a foreign body gets into a saltwater oyster, it forms a pearl around it. It's a way for the oyster to deal with someone it doesn't want. Like trash. When we make trash it's a horrible mess, when an oyster does it, it's a pearl. How cool must they feel?But by using something that another species doesn't want our ancestors found something as beautiful as pearls.I didn't know there were so many different types of pearls till I did a little research at www.thepearloutlet.co

It was registration for ACT testing for my 17 year old in preparation for college next year. During the process

The first time I ever encountered oysters, I was fascinated by the idea of finding a pearl. I had previously seen cartoons and other things on television that connected oysters and those valuable little things called pearls, and so I was thrilled by the possibility of finding a pearl and finally owning something of extraordinary value. Unfortunately, any and all pearls were nowhere to be found. Somewhere deep down, I crave oysters even more now, because I now know that in order to get a pearl, you’ve got to go out into the ocean and do the work yourself. That makes things seem easier, because no one is around to snatch a pearl from you, or to say, “Sorry kid, no pearls here!”Eating raw oysters that have bacteria can make you sick, but there are three post-harvest processes that ca

What if oysters didn’t produce pearls anymore? What if instead they started generating money?! What kind of money…? Gold coins! The market would slowly flood with gold as venture capitalists from all areas gravitate toward the oyster industry. Hundreds of oyster farms would spring up overnight. Suddenly, everybody’s rich. “Here, have some gold!” Pretty soon, the value of gold plummets… Or does it?The way the economy is going, if America were the only nation with gold-producing oysters, we’d probably be back on top. After all, our dollars stopped being backed by gold when we ran out of the metal, right? I mean, we printed so much money that we could no longer support it with our existing gold supply. But with oyster-gold, we’d be free to print as much money as we

Imagine what if oysters did not produce pearls, but your favorite cookies instead. Would they still be as valuable to you then? Probably not, probably you would not be as happy when opening an oyster and finding a pearl inside. Then again, some people might trade a pearl for one of their most favorite cookies. [...]

Earlier this week, in the midst of snow, snow and more snow, I decided it was time to take a few chances. Over the past few years my work has become more serious, more spiritual. Maybe it’s this endless winter, but it seems time to have a bit more fun with my art. So, I got to work with crystals, ribbons and pearls. I think it may even be time for feathers, fabric and more glitter…but we’ll see. These creative leaps are not always as easy on the canvas as they are in words. Although it’s snowing much too hard to take a shot of these latest paintings outside, I’ve lined a few new pieces on the window sill. (And yes, that is a giant snow drift behind.) These little ladies were great fun to paint. And I'm not sure if you can see in the shot, but I've incorporated a bit of glit

I didn't use real silver since

I saw this fab Lanvin necklace delicately grazing Sarah Michelle-Gellar's neck. I love the combination of the satin ribbon with the pearls. It is so delicate and obvi, Mrs. Freddie Prinze, Jr. is channeling Audrey Hepburn. It is such a classy look. Her frilly dress and the haute necklace strikes a delicate balance. It is sexy and classy and not over or understated. Lanvin created a couple of ribbon pearl combos but this is my absolute favorite. Check out Barney's for other colors.

The necklace fastens with a secure lobster claw clasp and features an extension that allows you to adjust the length to suit your taste or your neckline.

I want to share the post that Visible, from his blog at ‘Smoking Mirrors‘, has just posted. He highlights again the ridiculousness of the “debates” for the US Presidential race. If you watched the video I posted below, and indeed most others posted, including Ron Paul, you get the sense that the other candidates are not quite sure how best to deal with this brave speaker who will not shirk away from saying what he believes no matter what the audience. Mostly they resort to attempting to ridicule him, puffing up their faux chests to go with their faux desires to really give freedom to the people. He also shares a view about the current state of the world and the upside down priorities and concerns that the masses in the West are focused on. I will share a few choice quotes below; click the following title to read his full article, ‘Diamonds and Pearls and… Ron Paul‘.

"Black Shoes & Pearls"8X10Oil on Gessoed BoardAvailable from the artistClick on Picture to EnlargeI could have titled this so many different ways. From the last post, as you may have read, I could have called this, "Just Stepped Out." And then I look at it as, "Basic Necessities." (every female has to have black shoes and pearls...it's a rule!) I actually do have the kind with high heels... you know, the "Hi, I'm hot!" kind. But these are the ones to get me through when the event requires standing for long periods of time. There is a phrase, 'casual elegance,' that I have always thought sounds like one just stepped out of a Ralph Lauren advertisement. In my dreams....Well, anyway, here are my 'casually elegant' shoes. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoy wearing them.

"Black Shoes & Pearls" In Progress8X10Oil on Gessoed BoardWhen I began this one, as usual, I had romantic visions in my head....a painting of my favorite black shoes with my pearls haphazardly placed, just as if I had come home from a lovely dinner party with friends and dropped everything on my way to bed. I really do think like that, you know. I notice vignettes around me that suggest someone just stepped out of the picture, but you know they were there because that is just how they left things. Unfortunately, that is exactly what has happened. Our friend, Tom, died last evening and just stepped out of the picture. I have been trying to paint this last couple of weeks while keeping vigil with my friends as we have known he was going to leave us. Now I will be wearing these shoes and my pearls to a memorial service next Saturday. Not the romantic vision I had, but rather the still life of reality, losing a friend. Can't go back...just put one foot in front of the other and be th

Prelim Sketch of "Black Shoes and Pearls"8X10I'm sure you are thrilled to see my shoes...the ones I like to think I'd have more time to wear instead of the summer flip-on types that I am in and out of while.... all day of running around I am composing paintings in my head and taking photos for potential paintings, and buying frames for future paintings, and looking for galleries who might be good for my work, studying John Singer Sargent's portraits of children (explain later), in between housekeeping and taking care of family and friends who are going through a crisis (explain later, and getting ready for a newspaper interview regarding my work....Anyway, this is all I could show you at the moment. I have been doing prelims for a portrait of our adorable Ella, our grand-daughter. She was kind enough to put up with a modeling session for me last Friday. I have not done a lot of portrait work, so I am channeling John Singer Sargent as much as I can. These shoes are just a warm up

Classic pearls get a hip, modern update when paired with amethyst and sapphire and placed inside a cage of bright and oxidized sterling silver. Handcrafted by Joanna Jorgensen of Jorgensen Studio, these amazing earrings have an architectural, slightly gothic, feel to them, that are still very posh. The delicate lilac South Sea pearls and the tiny gemstones are so feminine and really play up the intricate design of the surrounding silver cage. They would add a shot of modern elegance to any look. See more of her beautiful designs HERE, including her beautiful Raku and Majolica Pottery.

I didn't used to like pearls. I thought they were for old ladies. How wrong I was (I was also young and into stupid trendy stuff). A simple white pearl necklace makes you look truely lady-like and can elevate any style to a new level. When I got married last year, I wore a three-stranded white pearl necklace. It was pure perfection. Everybody was raving about it. I think all brides should wear white pearls. And I love wearing pearls in the summer. The pearly luminosity looks marvelous against one's nice tan skin. I'm building my pearl collection quite nicely. I also have a pair of tear-drop pearl earrings, a multi-colored pearl bracelet, and a black pearl necklace.

One of my favourites, perfect for weddings or special occasions is the Daniella Crystal Pearl Necklace. It retails for $129.95 and is available from Absolutely Gorgeous.

Pearls Before Swine - Balaklava (1968)VBRA record that virtually defies categorization, Pearls Before Swine's 1968 epic Balaklava is the near-brilliant follow-up to One Nation Underground. Intended as a defiant condemnation of the Vietnam War, it doesn't offer anthemic, fist-pounding protest songs. Instead, Rapp vented his anger through surrealist poetry, irony, and historical reference: Balaklava was the 1854 Crimean War battle that inspired Alfred, Lord Tennyson to write his epic The Charge of the Light Brigade; in reality, the "Charge" was a senseless military action that killed scores of British soldiers. Balaklava begins with "Trumpeter Landfrey," an 1880's recording of the actual voice and bugle charge of the man who sounded the charge at Balaklava. It makes the transition into "Translucent Carriages," a mix of acoustic guitars, a basic vocal, and ghostly narration ("Jesus raised the dead...but who will raise the living?"), all the more stunning. "Images of April" continues th

If you're wondering what to buy as a gift for a June baby, consider a baby bracelet with baby's name and pearls! Pearls are (one of ) the birthstones for June and when paired with some Swarovski crystals or gemstones like sapphires to match pretty blue eyes makes a stunning memorable gift. A pearl and ruby baby bracelet is unusual and unique, but the color contrast of the blood red rubies against the pearls might be a little strong for some people's taste. The combination of pearls and other less vivid gemstones along with sterling silver blocks that spell baby's name are more common. An Add a Pearl necklace for baby is great and grows with each additional pearl and special occasion, and a baby bracelet with baby names, pearls and other charms that might have personal meaning will just add to the Add a Pearl tradition. You might say, a pearl baby bracelet is sweet, but the baby will grow out of it very quickly, and this is certainly an issue! Pearl baby bracelets are not chea

and butterflies too...There is nothing sweeter than nature inspired jewelry: butterflies, flowers, leaves ~ natural gemstones. Our favorite things give us all a little sunshine and we project that with the jewelry we wear. It also makes us feel apart of nature and reminds us of those sweet summer days to come (patiently waiting).Our little ones eyes light up when they see sparkling butterflies and luster rich pearls, fields of flowers and little trinkets they can treasure. It allows them self-expression and lights up their imagination.There are certain jewelry trends that will never go out of style...

This is completely unrelated to stocks/investing, but I just came across this article today and it had quite a profound impact on me. The article, Pearls Before Breakfast, describes a social experiment conducted by the Washington Post involving a world famous musician, a subway, and some spare change. The results are pretty startling, painting a pretty bleak picture of a society that has become so obsessed with the destination that the journey there is forgotten. It’s a pretty lengthy read, but well worth your time.

One of the greatest living violinist plays at the L'Enfant Plaza Station in D.C. in the rush hour. What happens? From an experiment conducted by Washington Post: "HE EMERGED FROM THE METRO AT THE L'ENFANT PLAZA STATION AND POSITIONED HIMSELF AGAINST A WALL BESIDE A TRASH BASKET. By most measures, he was nondescript: a youngish white man in jeans, a long-sleeved T-shirt and a Washington Nationals baseball cap. From a small case, he removed a violin. Placing the open case at his feet, he shrewdly threw in a fewdollars and pocket change as seed money, swiveled it to face pedestrian traffic, and began to play. It was 7:51 a.m. on Friday, January 12, the middle of the morning rush hour. In the next 43 minutes, as the violinist performed six classical pieces, 1,097 people passed by. Almost all of them were on the way to work, which meant, for almost all of them, a government job. L'EnfantPlaza is at the nucleus of federal Washington, and these were mostly mid-level bureaucrats with th
