My Saturday Night Project....

Glass flower wine glass charms

                                                               Evil eye wine glass charms
                                 ....to protect someone from stealing your wine I suppose! :D

Recently, my mother gave me some wine glass charms that she brought from the US....so I put them to use on my "Mexican" Thanksgiving dinner I had with various friends last month...well everyone thought these little "detailitos" (as we call here in Mexico when it's a little special "something" that adds a special touch) on the wine glasses were divine!(....and they were so simple!)
So last Saturday night...I sat for hours making about a hundred wine glass charms!...I had the best time creating design after design and the best part was that I already had all the material in my design studio just sitting there waiting to adorn a future wine glass.... 
(...might I add that for some reason here in Mexico it's not a "most popular" accessory but after I explain and show them how they are to be used...they LOVE them!!! ) I'll keep posting all the designs I have made...my favorite so far are the Evil Eye collection. :)

Art in Science....the Caffiene Molecule

I frequently receive a fabulous newsletter  http://www.home-jewelry-business-success-tips.com/newsletter-137.html#share">Jewelry  by Rena Klingenberg and have found the most amazing tips in the jewelry business. This week she posted a link to a clever and ingenious jewelry website http://www.madewithmolecules.com/  that shows such imagination from artist Raven Hanna, granted she is a Yale-educated scientist turned artist with a PhD. and in her words she "combines art and science in celebration of life in our amazing universe".

 

                                         

                                                    ....I must say.....Love it! Love it! Love it!!! :) 

a Packaging Passion I have....

I am Obsessed with a Big "O" about packaging  and presentation these days.....so I found some absolutely wonderful links on the internet on how to make these adorable pillow boxes. Now after I have made the jeweled organza bags to place the jewelry in, I can offer these little handmade gift boxes as an extra touch. I also like that they protect the pieces from being damaged.:)
