A night with Archive

October 18, 2015October 18, 2015 Carolina Russo | Sa’Reyah

Music – A magic night Concert with ARCHIVE touring in France. My Blogger friend HeavyCloud attended and wrote this great post! Thank you HC

aliensoulmates

The concert of this London band was worth the waiting. Expectations were fulfilled, with a 2 hours wide range of songs going from oldies like “You make me feel” to the latest “Distorted Angels” and “Kid Corner”, passing through classics like “Dangervisit”, “Fuck You”, a beautiful version of “Bullets” performed by Pollard Berrier and the splendid encore “Lights” (yes, thinking of you Carolina…).

Some shivers and a tear on “End of our days” performed by Holly Martin…

If you are curious about this concert, you will find the complete footage of the night before in Nantes HERE.

Two more good points: the venue “le Bikini”, which acoustically speaking was just perfect and the very good opening act, a four Belgian boys band called BRNS (read Brains) which have obviously been fed with good brit alt-rock during their childhood. Here is a taste of it…

Have an amazing…

A Story in 50 words – Deep Water

September 2, 2015September 2, 2015 Carolina Russo | Sa’Reyah

Deep Water

Surrounded by the blue deepest water. The reflections of floating emotions, loaded the mind and body in a fearless state. Tranquillity and silence flying through the broken branches of a life experience, were glowing under the warm sunlight.
Suddenly warm rain drops of happiness joined the deep water becoming one.

Purple Flame Ring

All my Jewelry Designs are single pieces created to have a life and standing on their own beautifully in their unique and unexpected combination of natural elements. All my creations can be combined together also if they aren’t created as sets. I like the idea to give the ability to mix and match pieces between them, or stack them together creating your own story that can be changed anytime you wear my Art.
Usually the beautiful natural gemstones I use in my designs are all a possibility of infinite combinations of colors, shapes or based on meanings that goes beyond the stones.

Soothing Fire Necklace

I like to title and give names to my Jewelry
and create a story for each piece, based on the meanings and natural powers that nature has.

Nature and natural elements are what inspire me the most in this…

A little girl drawing hearts…and a jewel…

August 15, 2015 Carolina Russo | Sa’Reyah

This is a post very close to my heart that I wrote a while ago…

Carolina Russo |Sa'Reyah

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…

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…

Jewels from the ocean…

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…

Soul Love

When love is universal and can connect far away Soul Sisters without distance….Thank you Souldiergirl :-)

Souldier Girl

I was having a hard time a few weeks back- being cut off from some people I really love for no particular reason- I fell into a slump- an unloved sad little slump. Poking around my favorite sites I saw a post by the lovely Carolina at yesterdayafter. If you don’t already know or haven’t seen (please please look) Carolina makes her own incredible jewelry. That night she had posted a Rose Quartz- did you know Rose quartz is termed the “love stone”? It’s also called the bohemian Ruby- hello! How awesome is that?!

We got to sharing about the healing properties it brings. Carolina is educated in all of this btw- she’s amazing. So she began to make me my own- she spent the week pouring soul love into this ring for me. It was not something cool I picked up at a random shop- this was made…
