Frank Gehry and Jewelry?!?!?!

It was almost a month ago, I went to Tiffany & Co. at the Galleria Mall in Edina with my dad to buy my mom a birthday present. As we were picking out which necklace to get her, I noticed a familiar name next to a collection of unique jewelries. I stood there staring at the name, thinking so hard, who is this guy? I know him from somewhere... when I saw these pieces

I knew exactly who it was. It was Frank Gehry, the architect. The jewelry reminded me of the metal work on the exterior of the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao.

I just thought it was cool to see architects work on things other than buildings because it brings out or creates a new kind of product. As many of you know, many famous architects, both in the past and present, are active in furniture design, clothing and other professions that are based on design.
This has made me realize the many possible careers that I can pursue with a degree in architecture.

As it is right around registration time, these things have made me think if I should take sculpture or painting of some sort. That way, maybe if I study and work hard enough, I will be able to become an architect like Le Corbusier who was also a painter and sculptor.
