Workspace?

After some debate about what to post, I have decided to showcase my fabulous workspace where things are created on the road. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be posting about things I'm studying soon! (Seriously, ethnobiology and anthropology is AWESOME). 


Well ladies and gents... THIS is it:



Yes, that's right. It's a giant, bright red and white van. It's also very loud. Not the most stealth vehicle in the world, but it's quite fantastic. 

Why? Well aside from it's obvious flair, it also runs on used veggie oil, has enough room to sleep in, I can play sweet sweet music in it, and, well... even though it doesn't have air conditioning it has side windows that open on a diagonal for a breeze, which is pretty cool. 

Side window that keeps me cool... somewhat

Radio area full of treasures 


Now, most of the making of jewelry is done from a home base, but sometimes I like to come up with things on the road.

Work, study, play

I love having a business that can move with me!

And what of this veggie oil system, you ask?

Veggie tank, with lines and pump

Brendan and his brother have rigged up quite the sophisticated system, I must say. Instead of having to scope out the spent oil from restaurants, there's a detachable fuel pump that sucks it up, brings it through a series of filters and tanks, and then gets deposited in the engine to use as fuel. 

So there you have it, a brief look at my on-the-road office/study area. Right now I'm on the road, about a 5 minutes walk from the beach... so that's where I'm a-headin! Peace out.

Me sitting on our sweet ride... about to go to the beach!


Oh, I haven't seen the movie, but the preview is beautiful:
