Long time no see! So since graduating I’ve been working on some jewelry ideas. I’ve been cleaning out my room over the past few days and I stumbled upon a pink egg carton. I knew almost immediately what was inside. It was my ROCK COLLECTION from like 4th or 5th grade! I have 12 really pretty stones of all different types like slate, shale, pumice, etc! So I decided to start making a collection! Here is a preview of one that I just finished working on.</p> <p>Presenting #1 of 12: My Rock Collection</p> <p>©G.

Her masterpiece, entitled Expansion, is a beautiful woman seeking inner piece but fractured and bleeding with light.</p> <p>“From the moment we are born, the world tends to have a container already built for us to fit inside: a social security number, a gender, a race, a profession,” says Bradley. “I ponder if we are more defined by the container we are in than what we are inside. Would we recognize ourselves if we could expand beyond our bodies?”</p> </blockquote>http://gvolano.tumblr.com/post/7073903501http://gvolano.tumblr.com/post/7073903501Thu, 30 Jun 2011 02:09:02 -0400gabbymv<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_llyc8apHIi1qg64avo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://celesticaxxz.tumblr.com/post/6856992626" target="_blank">celesticaxxz</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://kali23yuga.tumblr.com/post/6848666505" target="_blank">kali23yuga</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Ron Mueck, “In Bed” 2005.
