To date the most prevalent is the GSM network but the revealing fact is that the US is having more subscribers of CDMA than GSM. GSM phones consists of the SIM, a small electronic card to store personal info; it can be removed from one unit and put into another whereas CDMA works with “lock” on particular phones of particular network so that they can only be used with the SIM card provided.

According to Vogue and other important fashion magazines, gold is back in fashion. Of course, I don’t think that it was ever out! I love the gleam of gold, and while I will concede that there are certain gemstones that are best served by sterling silver or white gold, (think rose quartz) I generally prefer my own jewelry to be gold or a mixture of silver and gold. One of my favorite combinations is lapis, carnelian, and turquoise; all of these gemstones look great with silver (although lapis always looks better with gold), but put them all together and you’ve just got to have yellow gold to match the richness of the colours! Above , a unique bracelet with lapis, carnelian, and turquoise accented with 14 karat goldfilled elements (with the exception of the toggle which is vermeil), and below, the matching necklace and dangling earrings

I’m very fond of citrine, the gemstone ranging from a pale yellow to a dark orange. First, I just love the colour yellow; second, citrine is an extremely versatile gemstone that looks great with many different colours. I wear it often with black because I like the contrast of the yellow against dark colours

I could (and sometimes do) spend hours browsing through patterns and fabrics online. I would do it in person if I had the time. I recently found some patterns by Romeo and Mae that I fell head over heels for. What’s a girl to do when she falls head over heels for a pattern but buy it? (How materialistic does that sound? yikes!) I purchased the Milla Modern Pinafor pattern and haven’t looked back. I made three dresses in one weekend and another dress this past weekend but couldn’t get the pictures because I had this huge ordeal with trying to get the snaps on. The short version of the story is that I finally had a coupon for Joann’s so I bit the bullet and bought a real pair of snap pliers. It was the best decision I made since buying this pattern.

The Christmas rush is upon us already! This is going to be a short post, just to get out some of the newer things that will be on the website soon. Above a pretty blue aquamarine bracelet that features matte lampwork beads in soft blue and khaki and a second strand of sterling chain with 3 little charms. Below, a long aquamarine necklace that drops just at or below the bustline (depending on where yours is!) The next jewelry piece is a thin silver bangle bracelet that has faceted rondelles of tourmaline at intervals.

Does food fit into this table? Here at Khymos I aim to cover things related to food and chemistry, and as I stumbled over a periodic table of cupcakes (with clickable “elements” linked to recipes) I couldn’t resist to dig a little deeper. And look what I found! The periodic table of elements is iconic, but the periodic table has also become an organizing metaphor for all sorts of things, including food .

Spotty blogging for a while because I have been busy getting some of my work into an area gallery (finally), and because I have been working on a commissioned portrait. Since I don't have anything very earth-shaking to say today, I'll just leave you with the pictorial evidence of progress on my commission. The painting is from a photo provided by the patron, which is something I am happy to do if the photo is good enough to make a good painting.
