MARIQUITA MASTERSON Woman in Gold. All that Klimt!!!! Woman in Gold is about a woman who fights for her Gustav Klimt painting (“Portrait of Adele BlochBauer”) that belonged to her aunt, who was the lady in the picture. All the gold is what we are channeling so it is fitting this movie is in the theater. Love all that gold leaf, and I love using it in the jewelry. Tomato Pie. This is a no-fail recipe that is perfect at this time of year with all the fresh tomatoes! For recipe, log on to www.localhoustonmagazine.com. Round Top Music Festival, Round Top, TX. It’s fantastic!! James Dick is the Founder and Director, and they have a wonderful program of classical music during the summer. www.festivalhill.org Over 30 years ago jewelry designer Mariquita Masterson was designing a table setting with a glass blower for a museum gala in town when she saw chunks of crystal ready to go into the furnace. That sight gave her the idea for the work that she is now known for. Today she has a store on River Oaks Blvd., and a name renowned for her one-of-a-kind creations. These are the things she is loving now. www.mariquitamasterson.com july 15 | L O C A L 61
