Happy Days Are Coming!

Soon my dear friends.....soon :-)

"Flores the Mayo" (Flowers of May)

Its May and its flower month once again. The month of May marks the beginning of the rainy season. After a long dry season we can expect rains to begin pouring, with it flowers begin to bloom overnight. And being a Catholic country we celebrate the beneficial rains by praising the Blessed Virgin. Town folk gather the colorful flowers to decorate the Parish Church altars and aisles. They bundle the blooms in exotic arrangements for the many different festivities all together referred to as the "Flores De Mayo" (Flowers of May).

And to signify this Month, flowers will be overflowing in my work station and shared to you as soon as possible. Also, later this month marks my 10th year wedding anniversary - another special occasion for more flowers. Yey!

Time to smell the roses!

Flower Collection Now Available

Flowers signify a lot of meaning, mostly it is always to convey what we feel. Each flower color has also a meaningful story behind its color. It is this reason why each individual is very particular with the flower and color they choose for a bouquet, for floral arrangements and for flower jewelries.

But whatever the color is, the real meaning still lies on what you feel towards the person who gave the flowers to you. The color may add to the beauty of the arrangement, but at the end of the day, only your heart will know what the true meaning of the color of flower you received is.

So come and browse the Collection and choose the best flower color that suits you or your love ones!

More to Come Soon

There were a lot of things that went through my plate the past few weeks, some were manageable, some were nerve wracking while some almost made me cry. Though through those moments I never forgot to find a homely environment with my beads and wire. I was able to make a few pieces here and there and I felt so relaxed and ready to gear up for another hitch. One more handicap and soon I will be able to post new materials in the blog.

Stay tuned for new, small, light pink, and flowery pieces!

What's in store for 2011?

Its a day late but....Happy New Year Everyone!

The holidays are over and its time to get back on my creative chair and wear my creative hat.

There are a lot of things on my mind that I would like to carry out this year. First on the list is to share a monthly "Inspiration Feature" on my artist friends. I am so blessed to have a couple of friends who engage in different art mediums and I would like you to know them. See how they express themselves through their art, where they get inspiration, who influences them and how they stimulate others to fire up their artistic self.

Second is to devote more time to learn and harness my skills with handling wire. There are a lot of things that can be made with wire, I would probably be concentration on making pendants for now. I am now dipping my luck with wire wrapping and wire weaving. As of this time I have created quite a few pieces, one of which I have just shared in my last entry.

Third is to join shows/bazaars that require formal application and screening. That way I would know where my craft stands. I think it is good practice to know how my craft will fair with others...not for competition but to know if I still need to learn and practice more. Having a bad day is normal but having a bad creation is awful.

Lastly, I hope to share my story and few knowledge with other budding jewelry artist. Honing our craft is not at all easy especially when we do not have other people to inspire us. I was very blessed to have mentors like Mabelle Rubia (traditional scrapbooking and seed beading), my cousin Lia Arellano (basic beading). Like them I hope to influence one artist in my lifetime.

Lets see how my 2011 be like.

My Way of Giving Back

Since its Christmas season and gift giving time, I wondered what I could possibly give back to this business venture I went into. Though I started late, business has been very good to me, I did not encounter any problems or delays in everything that I set my mind into.

I made sure that I put a small part of who I am in every design that I make. Most of which is seen in the colors I choose to combine. Bright and cheerful colors makes a lot of difference in my world.

Also, I did not forget the people who helped me start the business and the people I met along the way. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Happy Christmas to all!

2010 Collection: Aluminum Bracelets

Finally my 2010 Collection: Aluminum Bracelets are now showcased at flickr. I had a lot of fun working with aluminum wire since it is the second wire medium I fell in love with. Of course the first one being copper wire. Heehee

Since I started beading and joining bazaars I have always been fascinated with charms. And since I love wearing bracelets, I figure, why not include bracelets with charms in my product line. At first, I used to gravitate with metal clay charms and assemble different designs in one bracelet, this style appealed to mostly teenage gals as they themselves choose the charms under the "make your own charm bracelet" scheme I had. Now that I want to concentrate with wire, I discovered that I will be able to awake more of my creative self if I will make my own charm bracelet from scratch. Hence the wonderful journey towards charm bracelet nirvana.

There were a lot of inspirations making the bracelets, but most often than not I get them when I'm watching anything that involves crime and investigation. I do not how and why, but I do. Good thing with this project, as often as I can, I do not and will not replicate anything that I do but with the lovely and lightweight charm bracelets, I could easily do the whole thing in just over 30mins. As I have said earlier, they are lightweight, handmade, made of aluminum wire, easily cleaned (after using clean it with a soft cloth) and very affordable. Didn't I tell you it sells like hotcakes!
