Friday eye candy: A sneak peek of my coming soon jewelry line

My jewelry line is far from being ready but, every day I get closer and closer.  I have no idea of the name I’ll give it but, the concept is pretty clear to me.  Anyone who knows me well would probably guess that I would inspire on Architecture because duh… it’s what I most love.   Above all I’m looking for originality.  I hate when people copy other’s work because I know how hard it is to make those dreams into reality so I respect that.   I’ve never been more certain of what I want in my life.  I only hope I’ve done a good job cleaning my Karma, haha!, so the Universe smiles at me and gives me thumbs up.  Have a great weekend!

The ugly behind the jewelry making

No! the images you are looking at are not from a torturing center; what a
mind you!  It’s the atelier where I’m taking jewelry classes and where
they are kindly trying everything they can to help me channel all my
insane ideas.  My husband loved the pictures.
“oh! that’s so cool”  he said.  What can I tell you the guy is pretty
boyish, he likes everything that involves fire, metal, burned wood and
more metal.  The funny thing is that I actually find it
interesting-looking as well, of course the place can use some
jewelry displayed here and there and maybe some posters, but I actually
feel so good when I’m in this atelier.  In any event, if you have a
studio that requires different types of tools here are some cool ways to
store them in the open for easy access.  Enjoy!
These are the student benches.  We sit here and look at each others
faces.  We also have direct access to motorized flex shafts from our
seats. 
This is my station or jewelry bench where I try hard to make my dream come true.  🙂

You know jewelry making is a lot harder than those videos on YouTube
make you believe.  As you can see, those hand saws hanging there are
actually for us to cut metal.  Yes, a lot of what I thought were manly
stuff women in the jewelry business need to
do.

In the making

 Above, you can see a tiny sneak peek of a malachite necklace I’m working on (love my gold dipped nails) sorry… I  have talking ADD.

I mentioned here a while ago that I’m working on two small projects, which I hope get to grow successfully.  I have also said before how much I love jewelry and how much I love to create.  That said, I’ve been working on a line of bijoux and a line of prints.  More than anything else I’ve been always an entrepreneur at heart and I realized that I have lost too much time waiting for that perfect moment to do something that involves what I love.  I don’t know more than what a regular person knows about jewelry but I know what it’s in my mind and I know that if it’s there, there is a way to make it happen.  It’s not easy in my case because not knowing much about jewelry I can’t exactly translate into physical what’s in my mind but, I know I’ll get there.  About the line of prints is done in a computer program, which I studied at NYU for a few months so that I know how to do it.  After designed I color them by hand.  All these happen to still be in the making but, I wanted to share with you my dreams and hopes.  Once everything is ready I’ll show them here.  The bijoux and print line are both inspired pretty much on Architecture and Interior Design.  I hope you like them.
