Ever since my first time I lay eyes on Antoni Gaudi’s work in Barcelona, I felt in love.  For those who haven’t visited the famous cathedral Sagrada Familia, you still have time. About 144 years after what Gaudi started this amazing architecture, the cathedral will be completed in 2026.  I love many Gaudi’s buildings in Barcelona, particularly in favor of La Pedrera (Casa Milà) and Casa Batlló.  The latter has bone shaped columns inserted to the balconies and the dramatic roof design of dragon’s back.  Antoni Gaudi drew inspiration from nature and its organic elements with touches of fantasy. Casa Batllo partly inspired our jewelry brand name, Lacey Bones. I love the way Gaudi’s balance of architectural elements…decorative, rustic and yet modern.
