 I have recently bought a lot of loose faceted natural gemstones, all great clarity and color, and while I was in awe admiring them it dawned to me that I have never set stones before (  gasp ! )  so I started looking up online easy stone setting methods for beginners, like me. And there it is, click on it... Easy Stone Setting Something like this looks easy and professional, of course you have to measure the stones first. I could try to make my own, perhaps I will one day, but for this price is it worth the time? And how do I place this text in the middle of the two pictures above, anyone knows?!? Ughhh....forget it. This blogging thing is Chinese to me. I have to bookmark this shop on Ebay, good prices and free shipping over $50 And, you know how you start looking up something and end up in a totally different place? Well, this is exactly what happened today, but instead of getting trapped for hours in some useless internet black hole like I usually do, ...

A foggy morning you're back in the street and from nowhere a voice is bolstering you: "This is your life why waste it with memories of the past and the questions about tomorrow?" Ghost hate daylight so use the moment to leave them behind. Set before you is a blessing and a curse, Thoughts can heel you, thoughts can kill you. Words can save you, words can break you. Emotions may guide you or betray you. Oxygen blue is salvation, Oxygen red is poison. As you think, so shall you be! Don't eat the bread of the beast that have the evil eye. And remember the old Indian warning: that there's a good wolf and a bad wolf fighting for your Soul be careful which you feed. Don't let the air you breath become oxygen red. As sure as day follows night there must be a way out of this mess. Smile! It's not that bad. Without struggle, there can be no progress. Now is the right time for a new try to get on with life Th...

I'm gonna start blogging more often because I always end up with a lot of stuff that I want to show you and then I get anxiety attacks cause I can't remember if I showed you everything I was planning to and then I have to go back and look through all my folders with jewelry pictures and because I'm not organized it gets very confusing. Whoa, that was a long sentence. *breathe* The photo above, even though a bit blurry, is one of my favorites. Why? Because it looks like a mess at first, but it's actually an organized mess if you look closely   and when you do, your eye discovers similar items close to each other just like in one of those fun hidden object games and starts pairing and categorizing everything until your mind concludes that the mystery mess is solved and organized . Now your eye can finally relax and enjoy all the artistic details because that's why you're here to see something pretty and not to listen to my ramblings, but dagnabbit, I should...

Philanthropy Fashion  store in Saint Augustine. Loved it. “What can I say, I'm a sucker for abandoned stuff, misplaced stuff, forgotten stuff, any old stuff which despite the light of progress and all that, still vanishes every day like shadows at noon, goings unheralded, passings unmourned, well, you get the drift. As a counselor once told me -a counselor for Disaffected Yought, I might add:  " You like that crap because it reminds you of you. "  Couldn't of said it better or put it more bluntly. Don't even disagree with it either.” ―   Mark Z. Danielewski ,  House of Leaves   Right on. I bought the book just because of this one quote.  “I do not know anything about Art with a capital A. What I do know about is my art. Because it concerns me. I do not speak for others. So I do not speak for things which profess to speak for others. My art, however, speaks for me. It lights my way.” ―  Mark Z. Danielewski ,  House of Leaves...

Hi guys!!! :) I have sooo much stuff to show you and so little time, so just a quick post today before I go back to cooking and dusting and cleaning and all that fun that needs to be taken care of once in a while...Ah, my house is such a mess! An organised mess though. I know exactly where to find my supplies, my wires, it's very easy... ... they're everywhere! After every cleaning and re-organising my place, I feel lost! Everything disappears! Maybe I should start making a list, like an inventory of every item to remember where I put my stuff after cleaning. But as always, jewelry first ~ yay!! If I don't prioritize I won't get anything done at all. The guys above are vintage glass beads soldered on oxidised copper wire. Berry clusters, yum! Second pair, African terracotta beads and Carnelian. Love the swirls on the African beads, but still, they looked kinda simple for me, so I painted them with acrylics! Aren't they super pretty now? :)  The ...
