Hello Everyone,
19 days ago a new year began, yesterday a new (and for me the final) semester of college began. While I may be a little behind for the whole New Years Resolution thing, this new semester has gotten me thinking about what I want to accomplish and change for these last 4 months of college. Right now they are ambiguous thoughts floating around in my head but I hope that soon (maybe in the next week) I will have a more concrete idea of what my hopes for the semester are and be able to share them with all of you.
My final winter break was a busy one. I was living in NYC with my sister Kirsten and her 2 roommates while working an internship at Lucky Magazine in the Accessories Department. The long days and hard work kept me busy all of the time. I did, however, get to spend some quality time at home in PA. What was supposed to be a 4 day Christmas visit with my mom and family turned into a lovely week long stay when my bus back to NYC was canceled becasue of the terrible snow storm that hit the city. I am happy to have had this time at home becasue 2 weeks later my precious little dog, Scottie, became suddenly ill and had to be put to sleep. Right now my heart is too raw to think or say anymore about him other than I will always love him.
Until next time,
Brigitta

New York City
Hello Everyone!
Last Friday I took a short trip to NYC partly to visit my sister who now lives there and partly to have an interview for a winter internship at Lucky Magazine.I don't get to visit the city often and every time I do I get a little overwhelmed. I always feel like such a country mouse in the big city. But it was a fun trip none the less although it was a bit too short a visit. I will keep you all updated on the results of the interview.
Until next time,
Gitta

A Visit from Suzanne Ramljak
Hello Everyone!
Today Suzanne Ramljak, editor of Metalsmith magazine, gave a lecture. The topic was contemporary body adornment and armor. It was an interesting (and amusing at times) lecture on wearable objects that people believe have the power to defend and protect. Either by deflecting the negative or attracting the positive. She covered everything from historical amulets and beliefs to their modern interpretations from artists such as Kelly Malec-Kosak, Jan Fabre and David Akins. Before the lecture began, Ms. Ramljak was gracious enough to take the time to look at my jewelry works. She was very nice and encouraging. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to meet her!
