Of course you do! I&#8217;m kind of feeling that way this week, but more about color than candy. Actually, I&#8217;ve had enough candy and pastries (gets rough on that account this time of year, doesn&#8217;t it?), but bright, saturated painterly color, I have not had enough of lately. So this week, let&#8217;s just indulge. We all have enough going on with holiday plans, shopping, selling, making trips to the post office and such. Let&#8217;s not get too serious and just enjoy some pretty things.<\/p>\n<p>A quick jolt to the system came across my screen the other day in the form of this incredibly bright and mesmerizing bracelet by Viviane Depasse. She created this during a class with Carol Simmons this past April. Why is that not so surprising? This presentation does not have Carol&#8217;s precision kaleidoscope arrangements, but I, myself, am very much enjoying the meandering color. It is like the epitome of the phrase &#8220;eye candy&#8221;. It is bordering on overly-bright, but like really sweet candy you keep eating anyway; it&#8217;s hard not to keep looking.<\/p>\n<p>Viviane posts her work both from classes and independent exploration, as well as her thoughts on her blog <a href=\"http:\/\/monjardinmerveilloeufs.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mon Jardin Merveilloeufs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>If you like
