“I am an artist as much as you are an artist.”
My best, my daugther, ashleigh meta larratt.
“I grew up a competitive equestrian, performing violinist, and gifted academic aggressively pursuing a career in the hard sciences. During my undergraduate degree I took a life changing life drawing class that introduced me to a beautiful world in which I felt a vulnerable baby but ultimately in awe and awakened for new growth and so, switched my major to Film. During my Directorial Honours Thesis I found Yoga and knew that now the camera must shoot inward. I traveled to California for Bikram Yoga teacher training and as I practiced being a body instead of seeing other bodies I was led back home to study jewelry design, energetic healing arts, Anusara Yoga and all things Taoist and Tantric. I am currently breathing deeply in Toronto being a transformer, writing a book about it and realizing that making videos still has a sweet home in my heart – all with a rooted fire inside that I have never felt before. I don’t want to know what any of it means except that everything changes in the way that makes me love the most.”
Her custom jewelry line’s name is Armour.
It’s just incredible! Here is a hint – one piece.
“A bit over 2 lbs of silver and a month of work went in to this sterling silver chainmail halter top. Each link was handmade, half were fused and hammered flat, and the other half were soldered to keep it all together. It fits anywhere from a size 2 to 6. Its not lined, so if you are really thinking about wearing it, a little something on the underneath might be nice, or not might be nice as well! It laces up the back with ribbon or cording, whatever you would like really, and kind of like shoelace fashion. You can lace through every hole, which is a bit time consuming, or you can lace every third one which is nice as well.
The last picture is a friend of mine wearing it at a show I had. You can check out my flickr page for a group photo of other outfits.”
