A HarsH Goodbye…

June 8, 2015June 8, 2015 Carolina Russo

I came across this last post and it make me really sad to think that OM Opinionated Man from Harsh Reality has to go for now. I only have good memories, his Blog helped me and my new blog to get in connections with some of my best blogger friends here! Jason has been very generous to help new bloggers to get connected offering space in his posts like “Meet and Greet” I yesterday nominated him in my new launched Blogger Award the STARLIGHT I know he doesn’accept awards but this one is something to recognize outstanding Bloggers the ones that emanate lights from the stars and givers I know he will be missed! Maybe not from everyone but…hey.. We all have our own opinions” and we are free in our own space…Good luck Jason!

My 3 Original questions for everyone to answer:

1. If you describe or picture your inner soul how will you describe it?

My soul is deep blue I don’t know why but if I have to imagine what color is I see it in all the shades of blue. My soul is very receptive and absorbing a lot from the outside. Is very balanced but sometimes can have some great picks on things I like and love. My soul has perseverance and takes challenges I am always been thinking “if you don’t try you never know!” I refer this quote to my Art and creativity! My soul fight for what I believe in. My soul wouldn’t ever tried things that would harm myself in a negative way. My soul is encouraging and positive to others and myself.

2. What are you working on right now?

Right now I am working mainly on my Jewelry Collection on custom orders and non! I am trying to promote my creations and online stores as I want to share them with the world. I am also working on designs for other future projects I have in mind. I always keep sketching and I take notes of any kind of creative idea pops in my mind. I also took a break for a while from watercolor painting and I would like to go back on it soon! In the main time instead painting I am more working on Digital Art who I love. There are so many things that my creativity lead me to want do that I feel like I don’t have enough time during the day!

3. What is your creative dream project?

My Dream Project it is a real dream! One day I would love to be able to have my own Atelier Studio Gallery in a nice place, where I can work, display and sell all my creations of every kind together. This magical place will reflect my Art and taste in everything from the interiors to the products I design extends to Fashion, Jewelry, Art and Interiors it would be so magical what I have in mind…for now my Atelier is virtually here on YesterdayAfter taking shape day after day… the future? Who knows never say never… 🙂

Erika 3 new questions:

Who has been the starlight in your life?
Beside my family, my starlight in my life has been always “my heart” I did follow my heart in any situation.
What is your biggest dream and how are you working on its realization?
My big dream? You can read all about it on my original answer #3 here above 🙂
What do you want to leave here on earth?
I would like to live a good mark of my journey here on earth and that who would be left would always remember me for kindness, generosity, for help and make others happy, and because I was able to inspire souls throughout my Art and my smile… 🙂

Go giving…

June 6, 2015 Carolina Russo

Today I was reading this beautiful post from Jo Traveller…I was stunned from this post and such kindness…

Jo Traveller

It seems the people I admire the most are those who give. They give their advice, they give their love, they give their time. They give freely without expectation. They give with integrity and honesty. Imagine a mother or father’s love for their child. It is endless, it is selfless, and it is the fuel that drives life.

Through many channels I have learned about the cycle of giving and receiving. In order to enter into this cycle you must either give or receive, but you cannot horde. You cannot hold on to things and imagine that there will be shifts in your life and movement
in your heart. You must give in order to enter the flow.

Interestingly enough, the work affluent means to be in the flow or to flow to

Watercolors

May 30, 2015 Carolina Russo

After this post about my Venice – Italy watercolor painting I came across a wonderful new blogger she shared with me her great travelling experience to Venice enjoy her post here…

https://jotraveller.wordpress.com/2015/05/29/my-place-in-time/

Carolina Russo Art

I was organizing some of my watercolors and I came across this painting I made two years ago. It is a view of Venice in Italy just painted out of my visual memory. I love to paint water, there is something about water that it is so inspiring to me in many ways, artistically and not. I like the reflections and the colors. I base my palette on the beautiful range of colors of the sea, or lakes and the reflection of the sky in it. Thematically when I paint my artwork range from seascapes, landscapes, still life, abstract and whatever inspire me...

New Design – Life of Courage and Truth

May 23, 2015 Carolina Russo

This week has been pretty full of nice things, I had new amazing followers, I have been nominated with 3 Blogger Awards, I am thrilled and I really appreciate and I am grateful to anyone that included me in these nominations! I have accepted all of them of course, but I had not time yet to complete my acceptance for “The Creative Blogger” and “Liebster blog Award” I will soon!

During the past days I have been working on several Artistic projects beside focusing on this Blog!

I have been working on Photography, Digital Art, new sketches and my Jewelry, bringing to life a new design “Hoops earrings” I like hoops I wear them all the time and I love how this design turned out they looks amazing on!
This design feature a large Silver wired, hammered and forged hoops having a charm made with natural powerful gemstones I used Amazonite, Red Coral, and faceted Crystal. I love the combination of colors of these three gemstones and their great meanings.

Amazonite takes the name from the Amazon river it is the stone of Courage and Truth. This gemstone it is used in Jewelry from way long time since the Mesopotamian Cultures. The wonderful light blue-green color remind the water it is soothing and calming for the soul. Emits powers of strong energy. Was often used as talisman for protection. This beautiful stone is believed to be used from the mythical Tribe of the courageous and strong Amazonian women warriors.
Red Coral the beautiful Red Coral gemstone symbolize Life and bring messages of peace within self, emits positive energy and protection.
Crystal there is an interesting message for clear crystals and it is that Clear Crystal has the property to amplifier the powers of other gemstones combined with it, in this case it will empower more the Amazonite and Coral.

I named the hoop earrings “Life of Courage and Truth”

I always love to read your comments….

Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
