Talking about Photography….

0ften I get questions 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 of this Blog  I love photography! Yes I really do!  I love that I 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 a great shot. I consider Photography another great Artistic way of expression and I love to use 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 you can see them in the gallery  Jewelry Portfolio. Each photo is inspired by  the moment, by the Jewel itself and by the story behind my creation. When I stage a photo I love to add natural elements like stones, leaves, fossils, flowers. I take all the photos without flash. I like the natural light, some photos are staged outdoors and some indoor.  When I am outdoor I wait that the sun go almost down like a pre-sunset light, or I wait for some cloudy days for a more soft light. I just love the whole creative process and I hope that you enjoy all my photos!

New design Jewelry set – The Circle of life

Circle of life Set

During this week I have been working on a new design inspired by the Circle of life. I had a wonderful custom request from a loyal customer that loves my creations at the point to own many  of my jewelry designs.  In her request, she ask me to design a three pieces set, necklace, bracelet, earrings with Turquoise stones. That’s all she said to me, she said I trust your Art blindly, I like everything you make! Those words are precious to me, I am very thankful for her.
Circle_of_life_NecklaceWhile I was drawing the sketch for the necklace pendant, for some mysterious reasons, I envisioned in my mind a spiral circle, and I kept designing and thinking at the meaning, that’s when “The circle of Life” came to mind.

“Definition of Circle of life”  Nature’s way of taking and giving back life to earth. It symbolizes the universe being sacred and divine. It represents the infinite nature of energy if something dies it gives new life to another.
Circle of life BraceletTurquoise, is considered the most ancient and old gemstone in the history of mens, it emits protective energy and power, it was used from warriors, for protection and courage and believed that blesses who wear it. Native Americans honored this beautiful stone as Sacred stone and believed that helps to become one with the universe.

Be like water

Be like water

“You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.”
