When women reassert their relationship with the wildish nature, Bronze Visionary bracelet. Handmade with nickel free bronze and darkened sterling silver. Soon in my online shop. I believe in individuality, that everybody is special, Sometimes, what we let go of makes us more beautiful. I just realized it has been almost two years since I began this blog. I am writing a post to share what I've learnt with you, and will publish it soon. In the meantime, here is a necklace version of the Torch ring in bronze, brass and sterling silver. Torch necklace. Handmade with nickel-free bronze, brass and 100% recycled sterling silver. Soon in my online shop. In the next few days, I will be adding all of the pieces I made this year to my online shop, including the Lightning necklaces in 100% recycled sterling silver, brass and nickel free bronze. Starting today, I can no longer guarantee that international delivery will take 2-5 weeks. December is a busy month at the post office, and packages can be delayed up to a few weeks. Around mid January, mail delivery times will return to normal. Shipping to Mexico City will take aproximately 2-7 business days, and between 1 week to 10 days to reach other parts of the country. Lightning necklaces. Handmade and cast in 100% recycled sterling silver, brass and nickel-free bronze. Soon in my online shop. Boris, my former boss, once told me, “everything you choose to do in life must give you pleasure. Feel joy when you polish, scrape, sand, or wait for an epoxy to dry! Let this be the most important part of living.” When Boris said this almost a decade ago, I thought he was nuts. I was in my thirties, could not wait to get on with my life, and wanted to find something more exiting to do than restore antiques. I realized I had changed, when I cried at the end of Breaking Bad* (spoiler alert!) Not because Walter dies, but because Jesse is finally saved from self-destruction when he discovers the joy of making something with his full care and attention. I cried, because I too had found it. Boris was right! *If you yet haven’t seen the series, Breaking Bad, go see it NOW! Mastery ring. Handmade with 100% recycled sterling silver and gray moonstone. Soon in my online shop. I own a beautiful collection of clothes and accessories. Some pieces were made by friends who are talented designers, others are trophies I found in my travels, and the rest I made. Well I realized recently, that I hardly ever wore them! Ever since I moved back to Mexico eight years ago, I began to wear a “uniform” of boots, jeans and a black t-shirt. I dressed to blend in and to pass unnoticed! This changed a few weeks ago when I discovered a very inspiring blog: Thrift me Pretty, by Stasia Savasuk, a creative fashion sylist who makes dressing up in the morning fun and empowering. Her premise is that if you want to feel amazing, you must wear clothes that reflect who you are. She realized how important this was the day she finally let her six year old daughter, Raisa, dress the way she wanted to. After wearing dresses throughout her childhood, Raisa tried on a boys shirt and tie, and exclaimed, exited: I look so handsome! I can run faster! I can jump higher! That’s how I want to feel every day. All this helped me realize that I was dressing carelessly. The consecuence was that I felt uncaring. I thought that dressing with no flair was comfortable and took little time, but the truth is that it made me feel dull and voiceless. I justified it by thinking that I was saving my things for a special ocasion, but I am an artist who works alone from home and sells online. When was I going to have that kind of ocasion! Why not make every day feel special, and why not look as creative on the outside as I feel on the inside? I finally get to enjoy my clothes, combine them in interesting ways, and feel happy with the outcome. The best part is that I can now design the kind of bold jewelry I have always wanted to wear. Visit Stasia’s blog and Instagram account. You will discover a beautiful human being who will inspire you in every way! To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure. How do I face death? By living. By embracing opportunities with love and courage. I know life will end one day, but what can I do about it? Crawl into bed and hope it's over soon? I've tried that, but it was no fun. This is all the time I have. Let's see what I can do with it! I was given a torch. Care for other people, my father said when he gave it to me. Remember them and include them in your life. Create! My mother said when she ignited it. Make the most with your imagination and use your hands to bring beauty to this world. This is the life I inherited. I promise to care for it as best as I can, for as I do, I honor the gift I was given by the ones I love the most. We are here for such a little while. Let's celebrate each moment! I find nothing more empowering than the first mark I make when I draw on paper or chisel on metal. I feel determined, although I don’t know what will happen next. My hand moves as if by its own accord, and I witness the start of creation, a single line that can form an entire world. I think the first beings that made their mark on stone or wood must have also realized: I can make something! I can make something. I am a creator. Marked rings. Cast and handmade with 100% recycled sterling silver. Soon in my online shop. Calaveras. Aztec Marigolds. Copal incense. Candles that illuminate smoky cemeteries. Families with food and song. The departed. The more I work, the more I get inspired. Stratified ring. Handmade with Red Tiger Eye and 100% recycled sterling silver. Soon in my online shop. |
