Thank the giver and link their blog to your post.

Ok let’s face the fire and see what 7 facts I can get for you:

1) I have been surronded by Art all my life my father is an amazing Artist and Oil Painter some of his beautiful painting are here somewhere in US, and in other Countries, he used to sell in a Gallery that was exporting Art from Italy to all over the world. He has been also winner of several Art shows.
This is just one of his beautiful paintings:

2) I have been practicing sports pretty much all my life. I have been a Tennis Player! I started to play Tennis at the age of 7 years old, until I was 18 years old, I have been playing seriously in Teams doing all the National Italian age appropriate tournaments and won several of them! 🙂

3) One of my first passion in Art beside the love for drawing, has been and still is Fashion Design. I started to create fashion clothing for my Barbie Dolls, they were my inspiring Muses. I was able and loved to create beautiful dresses from scrap of fabrics, I was years ahead with the up-cycling…:-) I learned all the secrets to perfectly sewing from my mom, that was precious to me to learn such a great skill, that was perfect for my passion, and benefit me later in life as useful for my Fashion Design freelance, and job positions as Fashion Expert for several nice brands. I have in my plan for the future, to add to my Jewelry Collections also some unique and one of a kind fashion designs Collection.

4) Talking about Fashion my favorite store here in US which I loved as soon I discovered it is:
It was love at first sight for me, their products clothings and home decor style are beautiful! I had the privilege to work for them, and I loved it! I always enjoy visiting their stores, they have amazing layouts and displays, there are several stores opened in Europe too.

5) I am a Mom and I have a wonderful and beautiful 11 years old daughter:

6) I am Italian and who doesn’t like Italian food!!! I love to cook, and I am creative also while cooking I don’t like too much to follow recipes, I mean I do…but I like to put my own twist to it and also I love to create my own dishes from scratch!

7) And for last fact…hmmm…let’s say…I leave it for as surprice for the next time! LoL

Great Award Season – Blog Tour Award!

May 28, 2015May 28, 2015 Carolina Russo

My special thanks goes to the wonderful Anne for her nomination of the Blog Tour Award. I am very happy to accept the nomination with great honor because she decided to choose me and my Blog between millions of great other ones. Please visit her blog she is a fabulous writer of beautiful stories and novels, sure you will have a good reading time with her.

The rules:

Pass the tour on up to four other bloggers.
Give your nominees the rules and a specific Monday to post.
Answer four questions about your creative process which lets other bloggers and visitors know what inspires you to do what you do.
- How does my work differ from others in my genre?
- How does my writing/creative process work?
- Why do I write or create what I do?
- What I’m working on at the moment?
Compose a one-time post on a specific Monday (date given from your nominator).

1. How does my work differ from others in my genre?

I am an Artist designer and my Art extends in many different ways. I like to have my designs and creations recognizable. I am hoping that when people see them they know it is mine without seeing my signature. I like to stand out from the mass-produced in anything I create. In my jewelry collection I like to work on One-of-a-Kind and Limited Edition pieces only. I like “uniqueness” because each jewel will be a little different from one another. In my artistic vision I believe that each person is different and deserves uniqueness. My jewelry is uniquely made especially for you.

2. How does my writing/creative process work?

My creative process start from my inspirations. I get inspired from almost anything, it can be all of a sudden something pops in my mind, or just looking outside the window…anything can be the start of a great creation for a painting a sketch or jewelry. Often, while making my jewelry, I get inspired by selecting the beautiful natural gemstones, their colors, their meanings and their powers. My creativity leads my hands to forge and hammer the metal around it creating a shape that will complete the natural stone bringing to life a wonderful creation. I like to write a little story for each jewelry piece and give to each one a meaningful and powerful title. I always create a custom packaging including my Certificate of Authenticity.

3. Why do I write or create what I do?

I have been an artist since I was a little girl. My great inspiration started at home. Growing up I have been surrounded by my father beautiful oil paintings and more of his art. I always had the love for drawing, create and handcrafts. I have been following my heart and path, believing that anything is possible if you truly believe in it and in yourself. Be creative is in my genes it is what I am. Each item I design it is special, unique and has a piece of my own story and background, there is my soul and heart in every creation I made.
I always loved to design what I was feeling…make my own path and right now my dream is to share it with the world and with you. I would like for you to express yourself and be able to create your own mutable story-style day by day, feeling special, beautiful and unique wearing my creations. I am happy when I can make someone happy!

4. What I’m working on at the moment?

At this moment my primary focus it is creating new designs for my “Among Nature” Jewelry Collection 2015″ jewelry inspired by nature. I will keep shooting and staging all my jewelry photos. Working on this website blog which make me happy. I came across to wonderful inspiring people. I love to create all the graphics that you see here. And… there are many other things that I would be doing artistically… 🙂
