       Creative Endeavors

You may be familiar with Beech Designs jewelry, but there is art too.

Curated selected works are now featured at the Boston Children's Hospital's new Hale Family Building. 

It's exciting to be part of this comprehensive art program, that brings an immersive creative experience of more than 700 individual pieces of art. 

This collection, on view, presents different life themes. With each floor displaying a separate theme- Garden, Underwater, Harbor, City, Forest, Lake, Mountain, Space & Treetop.

 

Word & Image

It is an honor to be selected to take part in this visionary/project for the whole family to enjoy. Where creative imagination and good vibes take place. 

Several mixed media 2D art, of fish/nautical inspired works, were selected. These pieces were created using watercolor and ink work. 

The pieces, combine the elegant art with short poems in the display plaques. Bringing visual illustrations and the creative word together. Like Goldie the Fish.

 

Goldie by Beech Designs

 

Goldie

Made of gold and silver,
She passes through time and space.

Alert in fluid tranquility,
She brings clarity with ease and grace.

Call upon her in your dreams,
And with the waving of her fins,
Flecked with light beams,
A path of protection she brings.

 

 

These 2D works will become available on Beech Designs' website. So stay tuned for more to come. This collaboration has inspired future works and will be shared here with updates.

 

Here's to another great year! Full of abundance, prosperity & creativity.

Cheers!

1. "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."

 

2. "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time - this should be banned."

 

3. "On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food at all."

  

4. "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our swimming costumes and towels."

 

5. A tourist at a top African Game Lodge over looking a water hole, who spotted a visibly aroused elephant, complained that the sight of this rampant beast ruined his honeymoon by making him feel "inadequate".

 

6. A woman threatened to call police after claiming that she'd been locked in by staff. When in fact, she had mistaken the "do not disturb" sign on the back of the door as a warning to remain in the room.

 

7. "The beach was too sandy."

 

8. "We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure.Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white."

 

9. A guest at a Novotel in Australia complained his soup was too thick and strong. He was inadvertently slurping the gravy at the time.

 

10. "Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women."

 

11. "We bought 'Ray-Ban' sunglasses for five Euros from a street trader, only to find out they were fake."

 

12. "No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled."

 

13. "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England it only took the Americans three hours to get home."

  

14. "I compared the size of our one-bedroom apartment to our friends' three-bedroom apartment and ours was significantly smaller.."

  

15. "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the accommodation’. We’re trainee hairdressers - will we be OK staying there?"

 

16. "There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners now live abroad."

 

17. "We had to queue outside with no air conditioning."

 

18. "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel."

 

19. "I was bitten by a mosquito, no-one said they could bite."

 

20. "My fiancé and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in a double-bedded room. We now hold you responsible for the fact that I find myself pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked."
