   I am trying to make a "Book of Inspiration" for a school homework, in which I must explain why and how the chosen things inspire me. But I can't really pinpoint a thing because there's too many "nanoseconds thoughts" that comes to turn the inspiration source into a piece of jewellery. And the hardest thing for me trying to explain it is that I am one of the 0.0005% people in the world that think with images!!! Even words and numbers are images for me (not like written, like images; the number 13 for me looks like a women crying a river and there is a sound of echoes in a seashell that goes with, it's like that, I don't know why.). Mathematics for me is making up stories with each different characters with a specific personality I created while learning to count 1, 2, 3 ... (I was around 3 years old maybe, so it's completely attached to each figures), even phone numbers are stories for me. Some words are not even an image but a smell or a taste. Like the french word for "draft", "brouillon" taste like a flow back of acid after eating too much boiled beef...
   Primary school have been very hard for me, trying not to refer to what I thought was a written language and replace it by a complete unknown an senseless one. Oh and also put my ADD in the middle of all that!

I am weird   Trying to explain it would certainly be interesting but I don't thing I would get points for that. I don't like it, but I think I'll need my husband (who think normally with words) to explain me how he is inspired by something and write it down in my homework.

The shooting when pretty well and very fast!
   I titled "Half of the pictures are taken!", because all the not to much reflective pieces has been photographed, but he needed special equipment for the fully reflective pieces I have, so they aren't in the camera, because he will have this equipment only in the next few weeks!
  My photographer is so hard to please, I thought we would spend at least 30 minutes on each pieces... But in the end, only the first piece was long to find the right shot because we tried to find what we both wanted, but when we find out, all the others pieces was right on the first shot! He also had a wonderful idea to eliminate the mostly seen problem on macro, the "one point on focus" keeping the rest of the piece blurred, (I won't spoil his secrets) then my pieces will be entirely in-focus! Right now he's still working on the images but I should have them soon and be able to share them with you all!

  This guy is a Photo-Genius! He worked very hard to make his way, and now it really start to pay, I am very proud of him and I find myself very lucky to have him photographing my Jewellery pieces!

For more up to date stuff from him, a link to his Facebook; Olivier G. Lacroix.
It's all written in French, but he's good with English, so you can ask him your questions or comments without problem! But anyways, images worth thousands of words!

As I said in my last journal entry, I wanted to prepare my stuff before putting them in a photo shooting. Well, tomorrow I'm back in the workshop to polish it all and erase every trace of wearing (I wear them everyday!), and Sunday is the big day!
  A friend of my husband, Olivier G. Lacroix, is a professional photographer and he generously offered me to take pictures of my Jewelry pieces, and in return he can make any kind of graphic experiments he want with it!

So depending on the time he will spend editing it all, I should have new pictures of my work quite soon!!!

Ha ha! Most students may not feel this way about school, but I just love my college!

I've quit in June 2010 and it was a big mistake! It's a tree year program of traditional Jewellery making, but half of the student that complete it makes it in four years, and I failed so many classes, due to "über"complications in my personal life, I would have to make it in (at least) five years. As I was depressed of life, how could I enjoy school when I failed half my classes?

Now, my life is happily stable and I'm extra motivated as I want to show my young daughter to never let down her dreams, even if it's a unicorn!

I am very happy to go back school also because I'll have unlimited access to a complete workshop for free! Yay!

Soon I should put pictures of my new projects! I just can't wait!!!
