Flower Power

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hello friends! I am so excited to share this collaboration with you all. 
Photographer of Fleeting Glimpse Photography, Christine Grago and myself have teamed up for this beautiful {Flower Power} Shoot. Christine asked me awhile back if she could use some of my jewels for this shoot she had in mind. 
Originally it was suppose to happen in the spring time.
 Bad weather happened and the shoot got delayed until July.
 Still, in mid July, the farm hasn't fully sprouted yet because of all the rain.
Somehow she ended up scoring {basically} the only nice and sunny day we've had all summer.
 The day before the shoot Christine contacted me about my jewels and said if I'd like to tag along I could. 
She was so kind to snap a few shots of myself wearing myself!! lol 
I needed some close ups that I couldn't for the life of me capture myself with my self timer, for my {Spanish Caravan} shoot. 
I wore basically the same outfit and everything. 
But I decided to keep the photos captured by Christine on this post instead of adding them to my previous blog post.
But her main focus photographing at Pisarcik Greenhouses & Flower Farm was capturing one of our best friends little sister, Molly. 
Preparing her for her Senior photos coming up soon. And I must say they both did a wonderful job on their 'trial run'.
 I could not be any more happier with how they captured my jewelry together. 
Seriously though, the blue contrast against Molly's Skin tone and eye color are absolutely stunning!!
I'll be adding some of these photos to my home page for sure, very soon.

The Farm made this beautiful Floral Crown for Christine to capture. It smelt soo lovely!
 The woman who greeted us with the crown was so kind and informative about what they do there. 
She also said that August is the best time of the year at the farm and invited Christine to come back then to shoot more photos.

Spanish Caravan

Summer is here and I have finally gotten around to finishing my collection. 
I have been busy with custom orders lately and had to delay my release date by weeks.
 I remember a year ago wishing I was an artist busy with customs and now here I am. 
All it really takes is a little persistence, dedication, and a shit ton of passion and the next thing you know your collections are selling out and your busy designing orders with customers. 
I can't scream out loud enough how much I love my job. 
This summer I have taken back on one of my nannying jobs with the tweens in my life,
 whom I love deeply and am very happy I get to spend my days with.
 But, it has made creating harder to do. 
When I get home, I don't have much time to make jewelry before its already time for bed.
So I've been trying to get as much work done during the weekends as possible.
 I'm am so excited to FINALLY introduce to you all my Summer Collection:
 {Spanish Caravan}
<<<>>>
Yet again another collection named after a Doors song. 
It wasn't my intention but after photographing this shoot,
 I honestly couldn't think of any other name that would be any more perfect.

It's funny because I've been dreaming lately about living in basically a caravan traveling the states 
and calling no particular place my home. 
One of the main reasons I'm opening up a second hand shop on my website by the end of summer/ beginning of fall is so I can save up enough money to live this kind of life. 
Me, my pup and the open road. 
I've been meditating about this for almost a year now,
 so its to that point that not only can I see this happening, but I can feel it.
Anyway, more information about the second hand shop will be Coming Soon. 

In the meanwhile, you can shop
<< The Spanish Caravan Collection >>
in my Etsy Shop.

Take me to Portugal, take me to Spain
Andalusia with fields full of grain. 
I have to see you again and again..."

Peruvian Goddess

I am having so much fun designing jewelry with these Peruvian hand painted cabochons that I have. 
The possiblilties are endless! All of the creations photographed are custom orders & trades.
 I'm glad I had the chance to photograph them all together before shipping them off. 
The two matching rings on my pointer fingers, above, were my first design creating with these cabs. 
Those ones are replicas of my original. 
After making those, I have officially decided that its time to make one for me. 
To me they scream GODDESS, Peruvian Goddess that is.

Last photo shown features available Peruvian Cabochons for Customs. 
They are different than the previous ones I've had for they are flat topped 
instead of rounded but still equally as awesome.
 If you see one you like, shoot me an email Theturquoiseforest@gmail.com or MSG me through Etsy. 
They are guaranteed to disappear quickly so act fast!
