I intend to become an adventure jeweller

I'm going to start by studying the only two existing adventure jewellers I can find.

Waris Ahluwalia



and Patrick Mavros...




I'm not sure how I am going to achieve a career in adventure jewellery but I am keen to start trying.

Smug vs happy

I might feel smug but I'm not sure.

Is it similar to happiness but with more self-assurance?

At any rate I'm sitting at my desk in the lounge room typing up an official article. By official I mean a pitch-accepted-will-pay-me-money article for a biggish publisher.

The sun is shining through my window while I write for money. The cat is asleep. I have a nice cup of tea. This is everything I ever wanted in just this one moment.

Maybe I feel happy?
