Open Your Wings…

August 24, 2015February 23, 2016 Carolina Russo

Open your wings

When you overcome something
that was hurting you and your soul deeply

you learn a new way to express life
you are in another dimension

and you have a choice

you can turn something that was bad
into something good.

Open your wings to others
be free
and let your heart fly without fears
you could be an Angel to someone else.

Illustration – Friends

August 21, 2015August 21, 2015 Carolina Russo

Yesterday I wanted to use my new French Sennelier Watercolor!

So I needed to create something!

I love Illustration, and sometimes I like drawing cute characters a little bit out of my ordinary watercolor paintings and sketches. Creativity it is something that there are no words to describe it! Inspiration can come from anything and often start with something to ends with something totally different from what was inside your mind it is a very fascinating and abstract process, that’s how I call it! While I was thinking what to begin with to start my drawing, the word “Friends” came up to my mind I don’t know why, at the same time I was on my Pinterest pinning things for my boards and I came across some cute dolls. I was captured by their nice faces and big eyes and instantly I felt the wish to draw them. I quickly made my sketch, when the word “Friends” came back to mind again and that was it!!! It was perfect for my new illustration. I am going to dedicate this drawing to all the amazing Bloggers Friends I found here on WP community. 🙂

Some technical details: I quickly sketched first with a pencil #2 HB few light lines just to give me an idea to the two figures and the flower. For this Illustration I was excited to use my new Sennelier watercolor. I love Sennellier their watercolors are beautiful and very pigmented rich and luminous honey-based. I purchased this metal travel box on Amazon it is small and easy to carry almost the size of an iPhone it can fit anywhere.

This Watercolor set is inspired by the bright and lively palette of Southern France. Each set contains 12 half pans of top quality French Artists Watercolor and two built-in palettes within a compact and sturdy metal case. Reformulated with an increased honey content gives each watercolor incomparable brilliance and luminosity while acting as a preservative to extend the paints longevity.
I love the fluidity of the colors a little goes a long way. I am very happy how my illustration turned out. I gave the finish touch going over with a black ink Pigma Micron pen 0.3 to finish and shade.

Drawing Summer in my Sketch Book…

July 28, 2015 Carolina Russo

One afternoon during this week, I was in the drawing mode!

So I decided that since we are in the middle of Summer, I should be drawing something in my Sketch Book in regard to this beautiful and loved Season…bringing up happy feelings, relaxing time and lovely days on the beach…
This Sketch show I think pretty much what Summer can give us…the beautiful ocean, colorful flowers, sands and palms trees especially here where I am in California there are lots of palm trees not really on the beach but all over around!

To go a bit into the details, I quickly sketched first with a pencil few very light lines just to give me an idea. I rarely sketch anything when I work on my watercolor paintings. In this sketch I used watercolor pencils and then blended with Aqua Flow water brushes, the result turned out pretty nice! I went over with a black ink Pigma Micron pen 0.3 to finish.

I hope that you enjoyed this and I wish you all a wonderful and magic SUMMER!

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 🙂 ❤
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!

“Life of Courage and Truth”

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

I have been working on Photography and Digital Art, Sketches and my Jewelry. Last week I did bring to life a new design I create hoops earrings with amazonite and red coral gemstones. I named the earrings “Life of Courage and Truth” I like to write little stories for every jewelry I create. If you are one of my followers you probably remember my post otherwise you can read it here.

This is how my creativity extends from a starting hand drawing sketch, to other visual way of expression. I had several visions for this design. Created and born as jewelry sketch that become a tangible product bringing to life the beautiful earrings, and turned them in several photographs that I have been staging and shooting. Right now one of the photos inspired me to become this interesting Digital Art painting…creativity never ends!

Protective energy

Turquoise Ethnic Tribal adjustable leather necklace “Protective energy”

I named this necklace “Protective energy” because the meanings of the beautiful and ancient turquoise gemstone.

I wanted to create a Tribal Talisman necklace, my design feature a pendant made with multiple Turquoise gemstones wrapped and knotted with a thin leather cord and no metal wire. The pendant is 3.5 inches long, made with three beautiful Turquoise gemstones in different sizes, and a faceted yellow translucent citrine combined with brass beads in between natural horn pipes, bone and wooden beads.

A dark tan color leather cord is knotted and adjustable in length. This necklace it is wearable long or short both ways it looks beautiful.

Turquoise 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.
Turquoise also emits messages and powers of wisdom, serenity, wholeness, self-expression, creativity, peace of mind, emotional balance, good luck, spiritual grounding, honest communication, friendship, love and loyalty. Absorbs negativity.

This necklace is avaiable in my Etsy shop as made to order in limited edition.

Creativity and new designs

May 2, 2015May 3, 2015 Carolina Russo

During this week I have been working on two beautiful custom orders!
I love the process to create a new design, from the starting idea, to the sketches to the end, every time it is a new challenge that I like to address at the best of my ability.

I had a request to design and create jewels matching with other designs I previously made. Most of my designs are created with a combination of gemstones, metals, leather and more natural elements. This way all my creations allow the possibility to combine and stack multiple jewels together.
I give my customers the ability to create time after time their on set. Each design is unique also when it is worn by itself.

My first request was for a pair of dangle earrings with Rose Quartz and Mother of Pearl matching with the Rose quartz heart necklace…
