I'm dealing with "strangers who I find attractive consistently find me attractive in return" suddenly and for the first time in my life. So I tried to vent to girlthing about how it's confusing to once again be relearning how to navigate social interactions. But she's been hot the whole time. So she has literally zero helpful advice.

Here’s the painting I posted those WIPs about! This is the first traditional painting I’ve done in a while and you can definitely tell, but I think it turned out alright!

I used watercolor, gouache, acrylic, and colored pencils, plus my brush pens and fine liners for inking.

Close ups under the cut!

The last one is in different lighting and before I took it off the pad.

I know my traditional style isn’t as pretty as my digital style but I hope you guys still like her!

OP if you haven't yet I really recommend you look into art jewelry - it's pretty different from most commercial jewelry, tends to be a lot more experimental, and goes beyond showing pretty rocks (though I also adore pretty rocks). It's not all art nouveau in style, but the philosophy and emphasis is similar: jewelry as wearable art, a creation in itself, sculpture that stands on its own or with the backdrop and context of the body. Art Jewelry Forum is free and has loads of pictures, articles, and interviews to read:

There's also narrative jewelry, a subsection of art jewelry, which uses form and material to tell a story. My favorite narrative jewelers are Carolyn Morris Bach and Kim Noguiera.

There's also some incredible enamelists working today. The Enamelist Society is a great place to learn more about enameling and current enamelists:

One of my personal favorite enamelists is Sandra McEwen and while her style isn't exactly art nouveau, it carries a lot of the flowing lines, natural forms, and vivid colors from the style.

And enamel jewelry, actually enamel jewelry, is not cheap! The cheap "enamel" - the stuff on pins and key chains and some costume jewelry - is actually an enamel paint or resin. Fine, vitreous enamel, actual glass fused to metal, is extremely labor intensive and priced appropriately. Sandra McEwen has a cicada pendant for sale that is basically just that central piece on a pearl strand and it is almost 3,000 dollars. If I had the money I would snatch it up in a heartbeat.

Anyway that's my jewelry rant for the day, there are awesome jewelers and enamels all around the world making beautiful, fascinating pieces you won't find at Kay's or Jared's or any other chain store. I hope these links and pictures are a good starting point for anyone looking to find them.

A lot of the time when I reblog jewellery on here, it’s art nouveau jewellery, because I really like art nouveau. In general, and in jewellery in particular. And most of that is the aesthetic. I like the natural forms, I like the twisty curly bits, I like the use of materials, I like how a lot of art nouveau jewellery is using metals and stones and other materials to create a specific form, an insect or a plant or a goddess or even sometimes nature scenes. I like …

I feel like a lot of the time with jewellery, it feels like ‘I’m going to use this object to show off the size and value of my pretty rock’. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Some of those rocks are indeed gorgeous. But art nouveau feels more ‘I’m going to use these pretty rocks, and several other things, to create the impact of this object’? I just love the use of materials, glass and enamel and colour, as well as precious stones and metals, to create a form or a scene.

Like, you get a diamond ring, it’s a diamond ring. But you get something like a dragonfly brooch (Louis Acoc):

Or a lilypad hair comb (Rene Lalique):

Or a wisteria branch (Georges Fouquet):

And it’s a whole creation. A little wearable piece of art.

And I don’t want to sound too dismissive. I know the craftmanship and skill and artistry that goes into any kind of jewellery making. That diamond ring took skill I will never have. I just.

I like the emphasis on form more than material that you get with art nouveau. Like normally you hear ‘glass jewellery’, ‘enamel jewellery’, and it’s cheap, it’s frowned upon, but in art nouveau it’s what that glass or enamel was used to make that’s the important part:

(Rene Lalique)

(Eugene Feuillatre)

Anyway. In summary, I really, really, really like art nouveau jewellery?

This is quite a dynamic sprawling 1963 mid century modern house in Montreal, Canada. 3bds, 4full baths, 2 powder rooms, 6,438 sq ft, $3.4m.

Double stained glass doors open to a vast open concept space broken up with strategically placed variously sized partial walls.

This is quite nice for entertaining or relaxing. Love the shape of the fireplace and the copper finish.

The dining area has a wall that includes a bar in the middle and display niches. Along the wall in the hallway there's storage that kind of resembles lockers.

There's a very spacious kitchen with new quartz counters and a stainless steel backsplash. Look at the small table at the island- that's a very versatile area for casual dining, and also for baking, paperwork, etc.

I like the gold letters on the backsplash- they say "Everything happens for a reason." On the right is the other side of the wall in the dining room. You can see the open counter and bar.

Isn't this an attractive powder room?

The large den features a wall of shelving, a TV area, and an office corner.

In the primary bedroom a partial wall separates a lovely sitting area.

There's a very modern remodeled bath with some sort of etched saying on the mirror.

Downstairs in the finished basement there's a big TV room.

This area has stone walls to give it a pub-like atmosphere.

The pub goes along with the wine cellar.

Attractive powder room down here.

The garage is gigantic. Part of it is a game room.

And, it even has a kitchen.

The home features an elevator.

There's also an in-law apt. This house goes on and on.

The bedroom suite in the in-law apt. features a walk-in tub and a shower with a bench.

This looks like a car repair garage.

The covered patio has seating, dining, a hot tub, plus a full outdoor kitchen.

The uncovered patio has container gardens.

The front of the home has a water feature with fountains.

The large property has a big area for cars around the back and the lot measures 27,191 sq ft.

Hob is happy serving up good food and feeding people comfort food from his truck -- he's not looking to be famous; Dream is a Michelin star judge who stumbles upon his truck and loves his food.

Dream is used to liking small portion tasting menus with ingredients sourced from yurts or dug up during an irregular moon cycle. Comfort food that "sticks to your bones" is not what Dream eats, even when he needs comfort!

Dream stumbles on this food truck when he gets lost looking for his car after having a forgettable meal at the hot new speakeasy concept that recently opened.

Eating/tasting is a job and Dream is so tired of his function. So when he hears music and people having fun, Dream figures he can at least ask someone where he is and/or get his bearings. What he see when he rounds the corner are people queued up at a funky painted food truck -- laughing, joking?! with someone who is making his food safety hair net look good, and happily eating. The smell hits Dream in the face -- it's so good.

When Dream makes it to the counter, he forgets that he needs directions, hot chef hairnet, is so pretty - engaging smile, the stereotypical tattoos on his forearms, soft doe eyes -- Dream is momentarily speechless. When the chef ask him what he wants, Dream says surprise me (the same Dream who always has a plan when he's eating for his job); he gets a roguish smile and a wink,,,,, and falls a little in love.

Then he tries the food he's handed falls all the way in love.

Oh, this hit me right in the soft spot!! Absolutely love it.

I can so imagine Dream being used to those nouveau cuisine dishes where you get like, a sliver of horseradish, one grain of rice and a sauce made from gold leaf. He thinks that he likes it, that he's reasonably content. But he's never looked at one of those kind of plates and smiled. Not the way he's smiling at the loaded paper plate Hot Hair Net chef just gave him.

He sits a little way from the truck and eats, slowly, carefully. There's pilau rice, delicious curry, veggies that are clearly fresh. Its warm and filling, and Dream can't quite finish it all. But he's still smiling.

And he still doesn't know where his car is. So he goes to the counter again. The gorgeous chef seems to be packing up for the day and he positively beams at Dream. "Back already? I was hoping I'd get a chance to feed you up, but I didn't think it'd be so soon."

Dream blushes and asks for directions, and Hob says that if Dream can wait a minute, he'll walk there with him. His car is over that way too. While Hob packs up, Dream dares to ask about his ingredients, and Hob absolutely lights up while he talks about where he sources his fresh stuff, how much he values his suppliers, and how excited he is to keep building his business. He's got dreams of a restaurant someday, although he dearly loves his truck - maybe he'll do both!

By the time Hob helps him find his car, Dream is absolutely ready to give his heart and soul over on a paper plate. There are spices zinging on his tongue, and Hob has taken off his hair net to reveal an adorable, sexy little man-bun. He's got measuring spoon tattoos on his hands. Dream wants him.

He's back the next day. And the next. He's driving out of his way to get to Hob. Nothing else tastes good. And when he finally, shyly asks if Hob would like to come over for dinner sometime, Hob lights up. "It's about time you cooked for me! I'd love it. And... I'll bring dessert."

When Hob winks at Dream this time, he follows it up with a kiss on the cheek. And Dream’s not hungry anymore. He's just thirsty 😉
