Nature inspired artistry

ByPatti Mangan

Gretchen Walker jewelryIf there had been a survey of the best jewelry designs at the Appel & Frank fashion fete last nite – I would have voted for Gretchen Walker! Stunning indivudal pieces of art drawn from nature itself. I literally felt like my feet were in nestled in warm sand and my hair crusted lightly with sea salt. Even my eyes felt greener. My skin sun-kissed.

Interesting mental trip from what my eyes and fingers were exploring and lingering over.

Her web site photos cannot do justice to the unique shapes and natural colorings. Look for her at more San Francisco shows thoughout the year.

I should have bought those earrings!

"I have been reflecting on how almost all of my moments of true happiness and clarity of being have been while dipping into coastal waters: Santa Barbara East Beach as a towheaded child, Ovalau-Fiji on my first truly solo journey, Bondi Beach-Australia with the divine Meegan Adamson, Monaco with 30 brand new Contiki buddies, utterly alone on a vast beach on the north coast of New Zealand, cavorting in Key West with Laura, Cancun with some guy who was just as happy as I was just to be in the waves, Ipanema-Brazil with fireball Bia, Mancora-Peru with winsome Walter, Sanary-France with sultry Sandrine and much more - that I will give some time to float to the top of mind and get back to you.
