Happy Holidays!!!

  Hello everyone, I would like to share some of the Jewelry I had made for the "Bazar Navideño" these are some of the pieces I have left, I hope you like them.

These are just a the few I was able to take pictures of last night, I also wanted to share this last picture with you, It is a plaque that says "ROSARITO" and I only made it for that events fashion show, I had no intention on selling it, because really? who would want it, well it was the 1st Item I sold, just wanted to share it.

'tis the season to shop, and to be grateful for what we have, be it health, wealth, sanity or friends and family, there is always someone that cares and needs you, I am very grateful for what I have, a Job, a loving Husband and two beautiful kids, and a great group of friends, I am blessed.

Seasong Greetings.
XOXO

Mission Compleate!

Hello everyone, I am sorry I have not blogged, It was harder done than said, with my full time Job and by the time I got home and completed my mommy duties, It got complicated, but I would like to let you know that I was able to create some great one of a kind pieces, for the event and it was a success, I would love to thank all the wonderful Cruz Roja (Red Cross) Ladies from Rosarito B.C. It was a great event, unfortunately I was not able to take any good pictures of the completed pieces but I have attached a few pictures of them before they were completed, Hope to be posting some new pieces by the end of the week, talk to you then.

Here is some of the cooper I had cut and etched.

This is some of the completed ones, sorry not a great picture.

On a mission Day 4

Hello everyone, So yesterday I worked on some skulls I know that it has nothing to do with Christmas, but I do love to make then, I made them from polymer clay, then I hand painted all of the designs on the one, and on the other I decide to do some beading around it, I am not sure on the orange red color, I might have to change that, what do you think? any suggestions?

On a Mission day 2

So yesterday after work and dinner, I am feeling the stress of being committed to you and this blog, I start thinking I might not be able to do this ( and it's only the 1st day) I had to forced my self to create, to be inspired and that's hard, so for one hour I stared at beads, see pic.

what a mess!

 So I started playing with beads, added beads, removed beads and then I could see the completed necklace in my mind, and here it is, its a murano glass heart, tassel and gold chain with ribbon, I know sounds like a lot but I am very happy with it =)

Long chain tassel necklace

Then I decided to make another tassel necklace but only got to the tassel, and unfortunately that is all I did, But I am setting my goal for today at 10 pair of earrings, and I promise better pictures.

On a mission

I am on a mission, I have signed up for a "Bazaar Navideno" Christmas Bazaar for December 4th and 5th in my home town of Rosarito BC, MEX. and I must create at least 2 to 3 designs a day, and since lately I have been lacking energy and inspiration, I will post on a daily basis my finished Jewelry, I am hoping that committing to you, I will be motivated and inspired.
 Making Jewelry is a passion of mine, I have a full time job and family I have to take care of before any jewelry is made, so that makes it a little difficult to do, but I am going to do it!
 So here is the 1st necklace of many more to come.

Cloisonne and Glass Beads

New to me =)

New blog,testing, will post more soon, keep checking back. Pictures to come too..
