Some days are rubies, days of rose-tinted glass;
some days, like halcyons flown.
Some days are diamonds, rough cut and brilliant;
some days are harder than stone.

Today I am very pleased to introduce Ryan Stone
he is a freelance writer from Melbourne, Australia. He shares his home in the blue Dandenongs with his wife, two young sons and a German Shepherd. His poetry has recently appeared in Writers’ Forum Magazine, Black Poppy Review, Goodreads, Cafe Aphra, Wolf Publishing and an anthology or two. On daily walks through his forest surrounds, he often peers down rabbit holes.
Ryan writes beautifully and sometimes with great twists. Something that amazed me when I discovered him was his writing ability, he can go beyond the ordinary there is one of his poems “Falling Up” that can be read from bottom to top and the poem has a surprising twist I suggest you to read it soon! There are many great poems and more to read on his Blog, often accompanied with his beautiful Photography…I am sure that this will open your curiosity and enjoy a visit to his Blog!
Have a wonderful weekend you all!

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.

Today I want to share this beautiful photo I took last night at the sunset.
Almost every night we go on a hike on the hills around the area and I am experiencing some of the most amazing sunsets! Yesterday when I took this shot I was all the way on top of one of the hills. I took this photo with my phone quickly without thinking too much, I just wanted to grab that beautiful moment and the lovely colors in the sky. When I came back at home I opened the photo on my computer and with a beautiful surprise I see that I have been able to capture that amazing red sun ray I found it to be so beautiful and amazing like a Divine sign. I didn’t edit this photo at all it is just as I captured it. I like the time spent hiking those hills it is a great way to workout and it is beautiful to be immersed in the wild nature, there is silence up there a place to meditate and listen the inner voice of your soul blending with the wind.
This is another photo I took a while ago on the same Hills and it is almost on the same spot I took the shot of the sunset. This one was taken few months ago at early time when the sun was still high in the beautiful blue sky.

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.

Today post is about a quick sneak pick to my Jewelry sketch book a new design is in progress!
A giant statement earrings 4 inches long made out of one piece of silver wire carefully bended, forged and hammered to follow perfectly the curves created into my Design sketch. Gemstones would be added and wired…for now I did bring to life the shape of the first earring…still work to do!

“Among Nature” Jewelry Collection 2015- Copyright© Carolina Russo –
– Launching “WHEN NATURE MEET HUMANS” Digital Portraits #2 –

Today I am showcasing my second Portrait, this creation is part of my new Digital Portraits Collection “When Nature Meets Humans” and this is Portrait #2 – Souls
I also made a new gallery check the drop down menu Digital Portraits where I will post all the Portraits for this unique Collection.
Thank you to all of you that commented to my last post. I really love to know your opinion which I value immensely, it means a lot to me. I am very happy that you like my Concept for this new idea I am launching.
At this moment I am really inspired creating this Collection of Artistic and one of a kind Digital Portraits, this portrait it is the #2. In my last post I explained that while creating Portrait #1 I used photos found on internet on Pinterest some of them were photos from professional photographers like the model I used for the Portrait “Proud”. This time I used one of “YOU” here from the WP community. I am quite sure that many of you will probably recognize her soon, especially if you are a follower of her beautiful Blog. She is SOULDIERGIRL I love her and her photography she is one of my dear friends here on the blogosphere. I used 3 of her own photos from her Blog and one of mine (the water stream). I loved very much to create this portrait and I really like how it turned out.
This time I didn’t wanted to use a Model or Professional Photos, but Souldiergirl has great photos and you can see what I have been able to create to make this portrait.
I came with this Concept to mix nature with humans and create a unique and very different kind of photo portraits…let’s say that I like the idea to create very unusual portraits filled with all my inspiration, experience, art and soul like in all my unique creations.
If you’re interested eventually in purchasing a custom and unique portrait like this one using your own personal photos or not, I can create your personal and unique portrait. For info and details please contact me.
As always I love your comments!

Launching
A Digital Art Portraits Collection
“WHEN NATURE MEETS HUMANS”
Portrait #1 – Proud –
Today I want to share with you what I have been working on and launching something new.
I like to continually evolve with my Art and creativity. From years I love to work in Digital finding new ways of visualize and learn while experimenting. I like to work with photos, manipulating images of any kind, my followers already knows and if you look at this Blog, there are many images over my menu pages that I create to customize the look of the theme I use here on WordPress like the “Header” which is a collage of many images layered together. Often I post my work created in Digital Art and I am going soon to make a new gallery. When I am not working on my Jewelry Collections, and when I am not holding a pencil or a brush, I love to go Digital and Photoshop is one of my ally. I am using Photoshop from years, for me there are not other software to really compare with.
At this moment I am very inspired on creating an evolving Collection of Artistic one of a kind Digital Portraits with the title of “When Nature Meets Humans” this portrait “Proud” it is the #1 of this Collection and to create it I used 6 photos found over internet on Pinterest so all the images used are not my own Photography (I haven’t found any photographer name to give Credits).
I came up with the idea to mix nature with humans and create a unique and very different kind of portraits…let’s say very unusual portraits with all my experience, Art and soul into it and I love it.
If you’re interested in purchase a custom and unique portrait like this one using your own personal photos, I can create your personal and unique portrait, for info and details please contact me.
As always I love your comments!

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.

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 Jewelry Collection named
“AMONG NATURE”

Each design is created as One of a Kind or in Limited Edition and Made to Order

I thrive to create unique and recognizable designs and work of art.
I hope that you love my creations and that you will enjoy experience my Art now and for time to come.

I wrote this poem “Hands” not long ago…

Hands
Artist precious hands,
intensity and love givers.
Hands guided by a heart pulse,
forging and hammering metals,
holding precious stones.
Inspiration from the soul,
happiness and art givers,
emotions in a motion of senses.
stroking brushes fulfilled with passion,
dripping water on white paper,
splashes of colors take forms.
Ink tears into the unknown
a creation is born.
