Pantone Color Of The Year ~ ROSE QUARTZ & SERENITY

-
As I'm sure you've heard, for the first time in history, for 2016 Pantone named two shades at their Annual Color of the Year announcement: Roze Quartz and Serenity.


Shades of Pink and Blue say you? Say no more...I've got this!

Rose Quartz and  lilac shells...

Rustic polymer in shades of pink and blue...I handpainted them with acrylics and Jacquard pearls.

Ceramic focal beads...

Rose Quartz hearts...

Pale pink and lilac Lucite beads...

Iridescence magic.

 The Pink stash...

Light Blues...ceramics and a round lucite focal .

Glazed ceramic focal beads...

Serenity...Lucite and a nice aqua stone bead that you can't see well because it's all blurry, down right.

 My own rustic polymer beads...

And all this....

...and all that. I'm getting sleepy. it's almost 2am. Goodness gracious, I should go to bed.

Tibetan silver flower caps, I have bought like 500 of these.....I love taking pictures :)


...That's it! Oh look, the blurry aqua stone you couldn't see in the other picture, I got it in this one, it's next to the Rose Quartz focal...you see it. Should I sell this for...$20? A Pantone Soup?? Or use it and make more $$...what do you think..? Too sleepy to decide.

 Good night! :)

Yumi Rustic Art Beads Soup Recipe!

 I have been preparing a rustic bead soup for my friend Solange from  YeeLen Spirit Designs  and it's finally ready! My ingredients:  ~ Rustic polymer art beads ~ Every bead is one of a kind, I rarely make them in pairs because I love experimenting. ~ Metal findings ~ A pair of metal elements from a vintage Native American belt, a vintage kuchi pendant, a set of fancy ear wires, hammered copper components, rhinestone spacers, religious art findings. ~ Yellow african glass beads, coral bead, two artisan ceramic beads from N. Carolina, that I've painted with alcohol inks. ~ More African glass beads, two small green trade beads, purple beans (!!), Lapis lazuli, long wooden  organic beads, african terracotta beads, vintage white and blue flowers ceramic beads, bone beads and some tribal bead caps.  That's the whole yumi bead soup, I really hope she'll like it. Bad pictures taken with my not-so-smart phone because I lost my usb memory card reade

A saint in the wrong place

I loved this short story written by  +Paulo Coelho   and wanted to share it with you. ‘Why is it that some people can resolve the most complicated problems really easily, whilst others agonize over every tiny crisis and end up drowning in a glass of water?’ I asked. Ramesh replied by telling the following story: ‘Once upon a time, there was a man who had been the soul of kindness all his life. When he died, everyone assumed that he would go straight to Heaven, for the only possible place for a good man like him was Paradise. The man wasn’t particularly bothered about going to Heaven, but that was where he went. Now in those days, service in heaven was not all that it might be. The reception desk was extremely inefficient, and the girl who received him gave only a cursory glance through the index cards before her and when she couldn’t find the man’s name, she sent him straight to Hell. And in Hell no one asks to check your badge or your invitation, for

“Maybe we're just falling stars, we once danced in the same skyline looking down at the world.     And we've fallen like all others, from near and far, we've gathered together, but separated by time and space, keeping a part of that light that we've came with and spreading it in this dark world that we've chosen to live in, in order to shine some light and love around.   Maybe we've chosen to believe one truth today, and find it to be false tomorrow. Maybe we're trying to not get attached to the idea that we now know it all.     At night, we see the truth of where we've fallen from, gazing in that night sky full of distant stars, constellations, planets, the reflection of the Sun on the Moon, all with their own stories to tell.   Sometimes we wonder why would we leave such a mysterious place, with an infinite amount of stories and wonders.  Maybe it's because as stars we could've only seen each other's light from

Cookie Points Up There...

     I love spending time outdoors with my little bugs... ...what I don't love is seeing all the garbage people leave behind sometimes. As I'm walking my dogs I can't help noticing plastic bags, candy wrappers, an empty soda can... Pick it up! says a voice in my head... No way, gross! Why should I pick up somebody else's garbage?!     An old book from an antique store in Wisconsin, loved the cover.. .If it looked like this, I'd be garbage hunting all day. But it doesn't... I remember when Mikey and I used to go fishing and I used to pick up the empty beer cans, the fishing line and whatever else was left behind by other fishermen. It really bothers me. I can't enjoy nature with all that stuff lying around. And something else... Cookie points, remember? A friend of mine loves birds. He talks to them and always has a cracker or some seeds for them... Why are you always feeding the birds? I asked. I like them...  he said... b

 Last month, my talented friend Solange from  YeeLeN SpiRiT DeSiGnS  hosted this awesome giveaway and guess what: I won ! :) First time when I had actually won a giveaway, imagine my surprise and excitement. Look at this little treasure she sent, all these beautiful colors and textures make me so happy. And those African beads look ancient, love them! These are no ordinary beads, I feel like I have to use them for something meaningful to do them justice. And this was not just any ordinary giveaway, it was hosted by one of my favourite artists - I've been following her work on  Instagram ,  Pinterest ,  Etsy ,  her blog ...Solange, I've been stalking you everywhere, now you know. :)) No, she didn't ask me to blog about it or anything like that, but I wanted to because...just look at her  work !
