So here's a secret of mine: I AM A MAGPIE. Seriously! I didn't even know! Until last year I always thought I did not like gold. Did not like glitter. Chrome finishes? No way! I was a matte girl all the way.
What am I talking about? Paper, of course! Metallic papers, even. They're my life's blood. I mean, makeup also, really, but that's a shameful addiction not for this blog. So back to metallic papers: I want to lick them. Really. I am angry at myself for all of the beautiful shine I missed on all these years, sniffing at pearlescent and metallic papers at art stores and steering clients away from them. And to have a gold be a feature of the design? Not here.
That's all, as said, until a few months ago. Something changed. I started seeking out pearlescent papers and painting my own metallic ones. I hoarded gold glitter papers that I have no use for but I just want. In the end I had to stand up and confess to a roomful of papers 'My name is Naomi, and I love metallic papers.' The matte papers were judging me, but I didn't care.
My obsession with gold papers is only stoked by my clients, who opt for the metallic and shimmer options in my stock for a timeless, classic look. One such case was this order below:

This ketubah does make me think of a box of chocolates. Pierre Roche chocolates. And thick woolen socks, and cuddling under a blanket. Is it just me? Maybe because Winter is coming, but I do have pretty, pretty wool blankets and gloves and socks on my mind. And lots of cuddling, and watching classic Christmas movies on DVD like Die Hard (a total classic, am I right?). Who's with me!
