After graduating from Parsons School of Design, I began my career in fashion design and freelanced both in New York City, as well as London. I designed hand knits for Elle Magazine and was the editor of the Hand Knit Page before hand knits fell out of fashion in the early 1990's and the page was discontinued. In 2008 I launched my jewelry design business, designing fine jewelry in 18 & 20 Kt Gold with gemstones that I hand select for each piece. Several awards and numerous write ups & interviews in all kinds of magazines and online zines, I rediscovered hand stitching and my life took another turn. I have been designing in some form since I sold my first felt embroidered xmas tree ornaments to a small shop in Northern California when I was 16 years old, and have never looked back. And while I've had detours along the way: had two children, worked at an advertising agency, got into acting in my early 20's, published some articles for various magazines and wrote for the Huffington Post for a few years, I have always come back to designing. It is my first love and remains so to this day.

this is why i love sailing, it is you, the water, the wind and the silence to just be. it must have been a wonderfully meditative time to mix the joy of life and the knowledge that someone we love has gone and if you believe they will enjoy the same beauty always.
Thanks so much. Yes, the silence is spectacular ! ❤️
Mom memories are wonderful. Keep them close and frequent. ❤
Thank you Sherry. She is missed. ❤️
Ariadne, Thank you for all of these beautiful videos. I send my sympathy for your Mother’s passing. I think you and Richard did right going on the river cruise and you took your Mother with you in your heart. I have think she would have approved.
Thank you Elizabeth. I think she would have been happy knowing I was on that beautiful delta listening to the birds and bell frogs. ❤️
So beautiful, and those wilderbeasts were funny the way they ran.
Fitting to have a picture of the lotus. Think on it whenever your grief gets the better of you. Lotus flower finds its way from the mud and muck (grieft), to come to the surface and then to grow and to bloom.
Thanks for sharing wth us, I know it was raw and emotional, and very kind of you to let us in on it.
Also, as you have said, a fitting evening for thought of your mum with all the sounds and smells of Africa.
I love your reference to the Lotus flower. I hadn't thought of that as I was filming it, but it's so true. Thank you for that. ❤️
@@ArianeZurcher212 you are so welcome. 🦋💐🌹🌼
Wish I could give you a hug-sending a virtual one. You know your mother would have wanted you to see and do all you could while in Africa.
Thank you Sandy. Yes, I think so. ❤️
Ariane I am so sorry for your loss, may the beautiful memories of her bring you peace and comfort. Thank you for sharing with us the beautiful sights of the countries she loved. Lequetta 💕
Aw... thank you so much Lequetta. I really appreciate your kind words. ❤️
🙏🙏😢 no words. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Hui. I so appreciate you and your support. ❤️
So sorry for your loss. I'm sure she would have not wanted you to stay back and grieve. Doing exactly what you did, taking her memory with you was very special and memorable. ❤
Thank you Carolyn. I so appreciate it. I think so too. ❤️
I am so sorry for your loss. Knowing your parents loved Africa, they would love your first hand experiences. Share them in your mind and heart.
Aw.. thx so much Kitty. That’s a lovely thought.
You have some great shots and close ups were great too. I liked the shots of the water with the beautiful sky in the upper portion or reflecting on the water. I'm happy you were able to enjoy your mother for soooo many years, what a gift.
Thank you Linda. Yes, it really was a blessing and I'm very lucky and grateful to have had so much time with her. ❤️
Ariane my thoughts and prayers are with you. I think your mother would be at peace knowing you were experiencing the beauty of a country that meant so much to her.
Thank you so much Delores. I think so too. ❤️
So sorry to hear about your mother. She is there with you. Sending you love and light ❤️
Thank you so much Andrea
My feelings to you!❤
Thank you Stelita. That's very kind of you. I appreciate it. ❤️
So sorry about your mum. Love and hugs xxxx
Thank you Jane. I really appreciate it. ❤️
Hi Ariane sorry for your loss,and yes your mum would of loved this❤️
Thank Donna. I think so too. ❤️💕❤️
So very sorry for your loss.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
I am so sorry too for your loss. By that I mean the loss of the companionship of your mother and all the memories you have of her. I cried when you told us because I know the loss of your mother even though she lived a long life. My mother died 4 years ago at age 85. Still way too young in the scheme of things.
Oh Ann. I'm so sorry. As many have said to me recently, it doesn't matter how old someone is, when they are gone it is devastating. I certainly wasn't "shocked" when my siblings told me she'd died, but it was shocking, the feelings were shocking, the loss was shocking, never the less. ❤️
Yes. You cannot really know until it happens to you.
Better you took her spirit and memories for a beautiful boat ride with nature all around than sat back at camp grieving perhaps? You did what was best for you and Richard. Your mother would have understood.
That was pretty much my thinking Jean. I mean the grieving doesn't leave no matter where you are or what you're doing, it just becomes a part of you. I felt that so strongly during this trip. She was with me, in my heart and soul, regardless of the state of her physical body. ❤️
I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother would have wanted you to continue, as she is still with you in your heart.💜💜💜
Thank you Vicki, yes I know she would have. ❤️
Hello Ariane, My belief is that your mother had a wonderful experience with you in the Okavango Delta. "Ariane, you get in the boat right this minute! And move over; make room for me; chin up. We've got adventuring to do!"
❤️💕❤️
💓I am thinking that your mom was with you on your trip....
Oh Rosemary, this made me choke up. Yes, I felt her with me. It was incredibly powerful. ❤️
😊
❤️
How hard and sad to hear of your mom’s passing so many miles away. It’s hard to lose a mom. I am sorry.
Thank you so much Sara. It was tough, but also in some strange way cathartic to be in a place that she loved. ❤️
