A giant statement earrings 4 inches long made out of one piece of silver wire carefully bended, forged and hammered to follow perfectly the curves created into my Design sketch. Gemstones would be added and wired…for now I did bring to life the shape of the first earring…still work to do!

This is a post very close to my heart that I wrote a while ago…
Once upon a time…a beautiful little girl was learning how drawing hearts…
her hearts were so lovely and unique in shape ending with a happy swirl a detail that was giving the hearts a sense of character and uniqueness. This adorable little girl was about 4 years old when she started drawing hearts using pens, pencils, markers and watercolors making beautiful little paintings. She has been drawing her beautiful and recognizable hearts everywhere, in any ways and kinds. Time has passed and until today 7 years later, she still drawing the same adorable hearts. The little girl is grown in a beautiful teen she is 11 almost 12 years old right now, and I am her proud Mom. I always loved her beautiful hearts dedicated to me in her lovely cards year after year. I have been fascinated by her drawings at the point that I wanted to do something…

“WHEN NATURE MEET HUMANS” Digital Portraits Collection
Portrait #3 – Silver Wave –
Today is time for another digital creation that I want to share with you, it’s another new Portrait added to this Collection. This is Portrait #3 Silver Wave.
This is a a black and white portrait created with black and white photos only. While editing I was able to archive a magical golden lighting creating beautiful shades it is lovely how it turned out I am very happy with it. This was a great experiment to work on.
I like to continually evolve with my Art and creativity. From years I love to work in Digital finding new ways of visualize and learn while experimenting. I like to work with photos, manipulating images of any kind. I often post my Digital Art . I made a new gallery for the “Nature Meet Humans Portraits Collection” you can see it here. When I am not working on my Jewelry Designs, and when I am not holding a pencil or a brush, I love to go Digital and Photoshop is my ally. I am using Photoshop from years, for me there are not other software to really compare with, I am so amazed all the time of what I am able to create with it.
I am very excited and inspired to work on this Collection of Artistic and one of a kind Digital Portraits, thanks to all of you for leaving me great feedback and comments. I really appreciate all the encouragement. This portrait it is the #3 of this Collection, I gave it the title “Silver Wave” and to create it I used 2 beautiful photos found over internet on Pinterest the images used are not my own Photography (I apologize but haven’t found any names to give Credits).
I came with this idea to mix nature with humans and create a unique and very different kind of portraits…let’s say very unusual portraits with all my experience, Art and soul into it.
If you’re interested in purchase a custom and unique portrait like this one using your own personal photos, I can create your personal and unique custom Digital Art Portrait, for info and details please contact me.
As always I love to know your opinion!

Talking about Photography….
very often I got asked about my jewelry photographs, what inspire me to showcase my creations the way I do. As you can see from some of the photos posted from the beginning on this Blog I love photography! Yes I really do! I love that you can catch the moment and it will stay forever with a beautiful photo. That alone it is very inspiring to me. Awakening that instinctive creativity guided from my inner soul to get the perfect shot. I consider photography another great Artistic Expression and I love to use some photos for my Digital Art. In Photography I am an “Amateur” if I can say that :-) <3
I love to stage and take all the photos for my Jewelry Design as you can see them in the gallery Jewelry Portfolio each photo is inspired…

The Ocean had always a meaning and great connection in my life and Art . This is a post I wrote a while ago…
Godly Sunset
When I was in Italy I grow up in a city on the Mediterranean sea, I could see it from my window at home. I have been always fascinated by the changing colors during the four seasons. The sea is an element that is intimately linked with my life and identity. My watercolor paintings and Illustrations are very often inspired from beautiful seascapes, the movement and reflection of the water. I love the dramatic light of oceans in storm, beautiful beaches and sunsets, including boats and harbours, ocean waves and rocky outcrops, misty landscapes, as well as beautiful underwaters fauna and flora. I love to search and look for natural found objects on the shore. There are many fascinating pieces, natural treasures that I collect.
Each piece bring me unique inspirations knowing they had many years, maybe thousands of years of underwater life before I found them, and…

Overwhelming beauty
The sunset light was approaching
the soft curved hills.
Evening was entering like a fierce painting
in the sky.
How amazing colors
in a new dimension that only
nature and someone above
has the power to create.
I felt that overwhelming presence
a strange feeling surrounded me,
all over like holding me
in a tight and breathtaking embrace
excitement and power for
something that I see unbelievable unreal
but truly real.
I am glad I was there
grabbing the drops of this
overwhelming beauty.

Photography and Poem Copyright© Carolina Russo
Yesterday evening I went for a walk on the hills…this walk was amazing!
I was at the right place at the right time. Just in time to see one of the most spectacular Sunset I have experienced here. California it is known for having amazing sunsets, but yesterday was something else. I couldn’t believe what was happening in a few minutes time frame. The photos I took with my phone are beautiful and I left them just as is. I didn’t edit with Photoshop or added any filters. I just added my signature I wanted to be able to share what was the sky was really this color was so intense and red that it was just so beautiful! I got inspired to write the poem “Overwhelming beauty” I hope you enjoy this and I wish you a wonderful day!
