1. Write one line in the ongoing story, in italics.
2. Pass the challenge onto the next victim/Nominee.

4. Link back to Me, Waffles, if you could please, this could be very interesting.
5. Copy and paste all the previous story and add your line.

My Nominee is The V-Pub!!!

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.

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

Digital Art – Oaks

June 11, 2015 Carolina Russo

During the weekend I went to this wonderful place here, where I took some beautiful photos. I was immersed in the pure wilderness of the nature. I enjoyed this peaceful and silent place between the ancient old Oaks Trees!
My inspiration lead me to use one of the beautiful photos to create this Digital Art painting!
I hope that looking at this creation you can feel that peace…

Sometimes soon I will post the original photos!

New design Jewelry set – The Circle of life

June 10, 2015June 10, 2015 Carolina Russo

During this week I have been working on a new design inspired by the Circle of life. I had a wonderful custom request from a loyal customer that loves my creations at the point to own many of my jewelry designs. In her request, she ask me to design a three pieces set, necklace, bracelet, earrings with Turquoise stones. That’s all she said to me, she said I trust your Art blindly, I like everything you make! Those words are precious to me, I am very thankful for her.
While I was drawing the sketch for the necklace pendant, for some mysterious reasons, I envisioned in my mind a spiral circle, and I kept designing and thinking at the meaning, that’s when “The circle of Life” came to mind.

“Definition of Circle of life” Nature’s way of taking and giving back life to earth. It symbolizes the universe being sacred and divine. It represents the infinite nature of energy if something dies it gives new life to another.
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.

I love this set and how my design came all together! The association to the beautiful meaning of life, with the powerful meaning and benefits of the ancient Turquoise stone. I hope that you enjoyed to see how my creation was born from just few words said.

I started to work graphically on this blog at first as website only in August 2013.
I wanted to create mostly a portfolio website for my artistic creations and display my Art. I enjoyed creating all the graphics collages and images you see on here like the header image on the front page. Life events came on my way and I had to take a break for a while.
I never posted as blog anything until this year on the 03/24/2015 with my “New Update” very short post, from that day as today over only 2 months later I enjoyed this Blog very much!
I came across amazing people creative artists, musicians, writers, other jewelry makers and amazing photographers it is very inspiring be able to share thoughts on a daily basis with amazing people I am so grateful for all the amazing journey here in this great community. Many of you become friends which I love to interact with.
I know 50 followers are not 500 or 5.000 or 50.000 but it has the same meaning to me!

It is the start of something great coming that can only evolve more and more….

Enjoy with me as you will come along the way of my journey….

Digital Art – Life of Courage and Truth

May 30, 2015May 30, 2015 Carolina Russo

“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!
