Los Angeles- how you shine

this past Saturday I went to my second theater tour of one of the historic theaters in downtown Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Theater! It is a fantastic beautiful example of the old theaters in the Broadway area of Los Angeles.

When I arrived they were playing old trailers on the big screen and it was just grand! After a presentation on the history of the theater we got a tour from the projector room all the way back down to the downstairs lounge and basement. One of the most amazing thing about the Los Angeles is how many public spaces it has in addition to the auditorium. The downstairs lounge is amazing! and the murals in the kids play room are original and very charming.

I took a pic of this light fixture all lite up. The theaters are often quite dark so taking pictures is a bit tricky.
Here's the view from the projector room looking down to the big screen.
The tours the LAHTF are putting on are quite fantastic. I won't be able to go next month but you should! Check out their website for more info.

sunday- Hobby Day!!! yay!
and luckily for me it was cold and a bit rainy so I didn't feel the least bit guilty making jewelry all snug in my studio instead printing and being cold and getting wet.

I made this necklace!
I'm still sticking with simple shapes to learn how things work. The shapes are imperfect on purpose, I started with perfect circles and them hammered and tweeked them until they were a bit more organic. i made the jump rings and the clasp as well.


I let myself start another necklace that will have to wait til lanother day but I'm excited- it looks like honey comb!
