Le changement. Parfois il se fait naturellement, parfois il faut le provoquer. Parfois il est rapide, parfois il prend son temps. Parfois excitant, souvent inquiétant. Un pas vers l'inconnu, l'incertain, dans l'espoir d'un meilleur lendemain. Le confort, le quotidien, le famillier et l'habituel sont certes très agréables mais non-permanents. S'y ancrer obstinément est de succomber à nos peurs, les laisser gagner sur nos rêves, nos envies ...
Je rattrape un peu le temps qui s'est écoulé depuis ma dernière publication. Depuis beaucoup c'est produit dans ma vie. J'ai voyagé, j'ai peint, j'ai dessiné, j'ai pensé, j'ai douté, je suis tombée et me suis relevée. Tout ça m'a apporté à faire des changements. Le plus important est que j'ai fait un retour aux études à temps plein après 15 ans. J'ai entrepris une formation de 2 ans en infographie. Ce qui me laisse moins de temps pour faire des bijoux, peindre et partager mes création sur mon blog. Mais, j'apprends plein de choses passionnantes à propos de sujets fascinants. Le language visuel. La typographie. Le traitement d'images et photoshop. J'adore mes cours! J'ai hâte de démontrer mes réalisations et mon savoir-faire nouvellement acquis.
À bientôt,
Jo

First polymer clay beads
I've been playing around with polymer modelling clay (Fimo), a new medium for me. I am definitely including some clay creations in the upcoming spring - summer 2013 jewelry line. Still in "experimental mode"; I will post more bead pictures as I go and finished jewelry featuring them . Here's the little gems I've crafted so far:

My African Safari in Tanzania
In June 2012 I had the most wonderful chance to join two of my friends in Tanzania, Africa for a Safari. This is one of last year's event I am the most grateful for. It is the best trip I had in my life. The wildlife, the scenery, the culture, the learning experiences ... everything was so enriching, new and unique. Here's a few favorite pictures of my adventure:
| Women in the streets of Arusha near the lodge we stayed at. |
| Everyday life in the streets of Arusha, Tanzania. |
| Our first elephant during a game drive in lake Manyara National Park. |

| The Baobab trees at lake Manyara ... so impressive! |
| A valley near Ngorongoro conservation area. |
| A good view of the Ngorongoro crater. The cradle of life, my highlight! |

| Me with the women and children of a Maasai tribe. They performed and invited us to join them in a ceremonial dance and signing to welcome us. It was magical! |
