RESPUN LACE
IN THE YEARS OF DESIGNING I HAVE COME ACROSS A FEW PEOPLE WHO ARE TRULY CREATIVE PEOPLE, LACE IS ONE OF THEM. A LOT OF PEOPLE LEARN NOW TO BUILD ART OR CLOTHING BUT THE SMALL FEW THAT ARE REALLY CREATIVE DO IT ALL. WITH A BACKGROUND AND THE SCHOOLING TO BE A REAL DESIGNER, SHE'S ABLE TO CREATE DESIGNS AND BUILD THEM FROM CONCEPT TO A SEWN GARMENT, OR A PAINTED CANVAS. A TRUE ADVENTURER, SHE SPENDS HER TIME LOOKING FOR THE NEXT CREATIVE EXPERIENCE, SHE 'S A REAL INSPIRATION FOR THE YOUTH OF TODAY. GO OUT THERE AND GET IT, IS HER MOTTO, IF YOU WANNA MAKE CLOTHES? THEN DO IT, OR TRAVEL THE WORLD LOOKING FOR WAVES OR GETTING TOGETHER WITH FRIENDS TO PAINT CANVASES, THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO SPEND A FEW YEARS CREATING WITH HER AND SHE STILL AMAZES ME EVERYDAY, AND THAT IS NOT AN EASY THING TO DO. HAHA. GO AND CHECK OUT HER STUFF, SHE MAKES IT ALL FROM CLOTHES TO JEWELRY TO BIKINIS. IN FACT THIS NEXT SPRING YOU WILL SEE A BIKINI CO LAB WITH RUSTY. GOOD WORK RESPUN LACE.

Spiritual cleansing for Nyepi
The week leading up to Nyepi (The Balinese New Year) is filled with many different ceremonies to prepare for the New Year and Day of Silence. We were lucky to see a few by accident. This was a cleansing ceremony we viewed while enjoying a lunch after a surf.
The Bali Experience
After the first trip, we fell in love with Bali. We recently returned from our second, month long adventure there. Our trip happened to overlap with a few Hindu holidays, the first was Tumpek Landep, a holiday where you bless your cars, scooters, and electronics to insure safe travels and use for the year ahead.
