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 🙂 ❤
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  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…

Souldiergirl's avatarSouldier 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…

And the story goes…

It was a warm sunny day and sea was a almost transparent shade of blue.
I lay there, watching the waves lap on the shore, a drink in hand, a tear rolling down my cheek.
I stand up yelling at that boy who threw this load of sand into my eyes and my drink when he jumped over me.
I then grabbed my water gun, running fast after him, I was laughing, he was jumping over people to escape.

 

Music, Uncategorized

Lights

Today I am going to Reblog this post from one of my awesome followers HeavyCloud. As an Artist I love to Sketch, Paint, Drawing and Creating my Jewelry designs often while listening music. I love music most of it but not everything. It has to capture my inner soul that sometimes is Dark and deep or happy and lightening or calm and fluid like water…these mood are usually when I am creative as the best! Today I am sketching new designs for my jewelry collection and I am listenig this awesome music…warning it’s deep and dark…but great! 🙂

Thank you Heavy Cloud for this post! 😉

Music is an important part of our lives, and a crucial part of mine. That’s why I’d like to share this song with you. Be patient, the song builds up slowly and the voice only comes in at 8:36…

I hope that you will accept to take the time, close your eyes and let me take you with me. And I really hope you will enjoy this small journey.

Much love.
Your humble guide, HeavyCloud

“It hurts to feel
It hurts to hear
It hurts to face it
It hurts to hide
It hurts to touch
It hurts to wake up
It hurts to remember
It hurts to hold on

Turn my head

The hurt’s relentless
The hurt of emptiness
The hurt of wanting
The hurt of going on
The hurt of missing
The hurt is killing me

Turn my head
