New cocktail Rings: CRYPTONITE RINGS IN BRASS

2011-12-03T17:08:00.001-08:00

"Cryptonite" Rings

My newest creations! I have had all of these stones for some time now. I just had to find the right time for them to speak to me. The Copper nugget (upper left), I purchased while on a road trip with mom in Norther California. I spotted a Gem shop and had to make a detour. For some crazy reason I only bought two of these spectacular stones :( So the moral of the story is these rings in particular (with these stones) are a limited edition run. But don't worry because I am always inspired by rare materials and beautiful gems !!!

I have been told I have a wonderful eye (wink!) So if you miss out on this set, there are more to come.

Rosie the Riveters 1938

2011-10-29T10:26:00.000-07:00

Rosie the Riveters | 1938

JANUARY 28, 20

Young African American women employed by the Douglas Aircraft Company in Long Beach, California, 1938. Two of thousands of African Americans who moved to California and through the West Coast during World War II to find work in arms and munitions plants.

This is my new favorite picture. It sums up a part of my cultural-family-and personal style history. It is a foreshadowing of what could be know as "california" style. From the modern day rockabillys', to the girls of east LA. It is a snapshot of keeping it sexy, but able to work a power tool.

I am so inspired by these ladies. Maybe its because my grandfather worked/retired from this same Douglas Aircraft. Whatever the case these Woman ROCK!!!!

A hug and a kiss to all of you who came out to Atlantic Antic!!! It was a success thanks to you. I appreciate your loyality (especially Roger), and encouragement.

This year Aingeel-Z was stationed near Atlantic & Bond St, which was all the way live!!! Not only was there a Gospel Choir Singing, it was booths away from Khamit Kinks (the renowned natural hair salon where I work at) I was able to see clients, send clients over, and use their lovely rest room facilities.

Enough about the location, lets see some photos!

Sheryl And I had a great time catching up. Can't wait for us to get together for jewelry night, since she is a fellow jewelry artist.

Lovely shoppers!

Melody, a good friend and colleague stopped by to show her love and support. Isn't she beautiful?!!!!

TARGET FOR MISSONI. I got mine, did you get yours?

2011-09-15T07:41:00.000-07:00

This week Target launched it's Missoni line. Missoni's luxury brand is available at Target while supplies last. I ordered online the 2nd day Missoni became available, and many things were already sold out. Now I love fashion, especially prints and texture, but I am not fanitical about my wears. I heard that people were setting there alarms for 6am, just to ensure they got a coveted Missoni- With this Italian brand being manufactured exclusively for target the price point makes this luxury brand accessible to you and me. I am not an early bird so no waking up in the A.M.for me, but I did find some great pieces from this limited collection.

Please let us know what piece of luxury you purchased from this wonderful collection!

I ordered this Train Case which will house make-up for when I do photoshoots.

These are the perfect accompany to the Train Case above, so naturally I had to have them too!!

ITALIAN INSPIRATION

2011-06-26T22:01:00.000-07:00

Italy, the trip of a lifetime. Partly because I was celebrating a milestone birthday(30), and partly because I bravely embarked on this journey alone. Some of my friends/family thought that I was crazy while others thought me fearless. The reality is i'm just experimental.... I felt it was something I HAD to do. Now I know your probably thinking EAT, PRAY, LOVE. Well yes I read the book (saw the movie), and was certainly inspired when I read it. Maybe that book planted a seed. All I know is I wanted to see how much faith I had... and what i discovered -I hope will last me my entire life.

Here are a few pictures from each of the Three places I visited.............

ROME

Rome-I stayed near the Colosseum in a area called Monti, at a B&B Il Covo. Both the area and the hotel was wonderful. Many Italians spoke English, and a myriad of other languages so there were no problems with communicating at all. The room, convenient location and great hospitality would work for me anytime.

AMALFI COAST

Amalfi Coast-Maiori-
Wow..... Lets first talk about the bus ride to get there. I was white-knuckled from holding on to my seat, which was a shame because I haven't quite seen such splendor in all my life. The view (through narrowed eyes) was breathtaking. There is a narrowing two lane road the winds through the hills on oneside, and the plumeting ocean on the other. Now I've been to places where the driving was enough to scare any normal human being, but this was ridiculous.

Once I was in Maiori there was a seperate trek to my hotel. Over ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY spiraling steps later I arrived at the B&B Palazzo, which was well worth the journey.

UMBRA-SPOLETO

I absolutely had the most marvelous pair (soon to be trio) of hosts anyone could ask for. Aminah and Fabio were truly welcoming. They took me on are tour of their town, provided home cooked (slap- your-mamma-it's-so-good) meals and were more accommodating, and gracious host. Here is a peek into their world!

Thanks for listening!!!!

OUT OF THE STUDIO!!!!

2011-05-14T16:15:00.000-07:00

HI ALL,

I hope you are all having a wonderful Spring and early Summer. I have not posted in a while and totally miss you all. I have so many things happening all at once, it's hard to choose what to share.

FIRST THINGS FIRST!
1. I will be out of my studio for a few weeks!!! I have decided to spend my upcoming 30th Birthday in ITALY. It has been a dream of mine for sometime and am blessed to be able to do it. Thank God!!! I certainly can use a break. For the last 6months I have been working 6+days a week, as well as moonlighting as a business owner at night. So to say I am excited is an understatement. Plus Italy is an artist's playground. I am sure to be inspired and will share all of my new found revelations upon my return. PLEASE STAY TUNED!

UPCOMING EVENTS

The other great thing is me getting accepted into the RENEGADE CRAFT FAIR in LA: July 16 & 17. It is an honor to be accepted and able to show my work, I look forward to keeping you informed of my progress with preparation. I cannot wait to be back home. If your on the west coast please come by and visit with me.

More than anything enjoy your summer and your life!!!!!

Our Agate Belt buckle featured in an ETSY treasury!!!

2011-03-14T20:21:00.000-07:00

If you will think back to several blog post ago, I wrote about the very agate belt buckles that have been a staple part of my collection. Well these belts were seen walking down a Gucci runway(but not by me). Needless to say I was a little disappointed. At the time, no one had seen nor heard about what I had already been doing for years. But such is life, and It finally happened!

Fast forward to Spring 11' and Aingeel-Z's Agate belts, (MY favorite stone) is now getting some notice. It's not to late to be one of few rocking these beauties...

As Featured on Etsy's Front Cover

And did I mentioned it sold!!!!! DRINKS ON ME (just kidding)

Black History Month CELEBRATION!!!!!

2011-02-12T09:43:00.000-08:00

I had a wonderful evening last night! Although this has been one of the quietest
Black History Month's to date. I and a packed house celebration at St. Paul's Community Baptist Church. It was a dance ensemble called REMEMBERING! Put on by the Creative Outlet Dance Theatre Of Brooklyn.

If you are in the Brooklyn area today around 3pm Check it out. It was truly phenomenal.

I think it is so important, especially for our youth to remember Our history, Our past.

And Happy Black History Month To All!

Dress Forms, you might call them Mannequins...I call mine NINA Garcia

2011-01-25T19:59:00.000-08:00

Never would I have thought that the purchase of a dress form would make me feel more "designerly". Yet it has! I have wanted one for a while now, and knew I would get use out of it. Since I am not a dress maker it was never top priority. This mannequin will be used to fit HandBags as well as waist and hip Belts.

I asked around my COLLECTIVE (friends, fellow designers, my F.I.T alum) where to go for an inexpensive mannequin. Megan Schwalm of Pier 43 told me exactly where to go. So one snowy night my partner and I went to get her.

my NINA Garcia

Here she is NINA Garcia

Yes her name is NINA Gargcia!!!! She is a size 12, (a womanly figure) and is by the Royal Brand. I bought her second hand which will help reduce my carbon footprint. Try 315 W. 38th st. at SewMark if your in the market for one. I can't wait to use her.

Lost LOST PHOTOSHOOT

2011-01-07T18:07:00.000-08:00

Soooooo. I hate taking pictures. I hate having pictures taken of me. But as a budding business owner/Artist there are many hateful things you must do, basically because there is no one else to do it for you. (@ least not yet). So I muster up the energy/courage/skills to take these photos myself.

A LIL BACK GROUND INFORMATION

I put makeup on
Set up tripod
Set up lighting
Get dressed
Start pulling products to shoot
Set the setting on my new camera......

My Tripod (timed & ready to capture me)

BECAUSE taking pictures of your self require a tripod and a timer, and Myself running back and forth to the camera (with heels on)!

I take 114 pictures   over 3 Hours,     only to loose them all while uploading

Yup they were all DELETED

need less to say I was pissed.    And what do we do when we are pissed we vent, and then have a glass of wine. In my case watch HAIRSPRAY after the glass of wine, and then go to bed.

But SERIOUSLY if you have any suggestions on how to really remedy the problem, Let me know.

Thanks for letting me vent

Photograph of White Bike on the Street.... by aingeelz. This Made me smile

2010-12-05T19:51:00.000-08:00

I just love this, so worth taking a picture of. I was in a cab in BROOKLYN this morning going to work, cuz I was running late.....and I saw out the corner of my eye this WHITE BIKE! I thought how pretty, and odd- thought I would share this random, (perhaps out of place) beauty.

WHATS ON YOUR SHELF???? Inspiration Books, Crafting Resources, How to start a home based business!!

2010-11-02T21:37:00.000-07:00

This journey through the WORLD Of Design can kind-of feel like a dice game. Sorry for the analogy, but really it can feel like gambling. I have often felt unsure of what direction to go in, I went to school for design, not business! At these times when I don't feel so confident I call up friends, colleagues, and often the perpetual companionship of a good book.

NIATRA, this post is for you...

So for the millions of questions that I have regarding this jewelry business of mine I humbly refer. Now there are a few that I have used for years for guidance.

1. The first for all of you jewelry makers is MARKETING AND SELLING YOUR HANDMADE JEWELRY: The complete Guide to Turning Your Passion Into Profi t By, Viki Lareau

2. The second one was given to me from the most wonderful-super supportive and encouraging person (Debbi), for a graduation gift! And I have probably read it at least 3 times by now....is SELL YOUR JEWELRY: How to Start a Jewelry Business and Make Money Selling Jewelry, By Stacie Vander Pol

3. Now this book,    "THIS BOOK RIGHT HERE" .... Is like the Cadillac of entrepreneurial resources. HOW TO START A HOME-BASED CRAFT BUSINESS, By Denn Oberrecht    He has included forms that you can photocopy, of customize to fit your business.

4.   Last but, by far the most inspirational of the 4, is THE HANDMADE MARKETPLACE: How to sell your crafts Locally, Globally, and Online, By Kari Chapin.
   This book has every thing in it from Blogging to Craft fairs to Branding. You will feel hopeful about your business after reading this book.

If your not a jeweler don't fret it is knowledge to be gained from any of theses books. Thanks for listening!
If any of you feel lost at all, please don't hesitate to ask me a question. Maybe I have the answer, or know where to find it!!!

HAPPY CREATING

Went Shopping for inspiration.... The Whole Bead Show!!!! 1 of the few NY Bead Shows

2010-10-18T21:02:00.000-07:00

I totally pride myself on being resourceful, yet there are so many things that I of course don't know (duh)! Many of my knowings come from dear friends, like the fact that NY indeed has a bead show. For years I looked in trade magazines for a bead show that came to New York, and I got nothing. I was even told that because NY houses the greatest concentration of bead stores and jewelry suppliers, that I was out of luck. And then like nothing, my friend Taeisha Black invited me to the Whole Bead Show .

Today was the second time I attended, and like the last time I scrambled to the show after work. Allowing a mere 30 min of shopping time (bummer). But being that I am an expert at purchasing, the time restraint was no match for me!!!

SOME OF MY HANDSOME FINDS

And the finds put to us.....

I have to say that I enjoyed myself, and am thankful for any inspiration! Thanks for listening...until next time.

I have been so m.i.a lately! Many things have transpired in the past months....a cali trip, a move, etc. It's funny how hard it is to seperate your art from you personal being. Sometimes personal stuff just gets in the way. Glad to say that I am back!!!!! And gearing up for Atlantic Antic again. Can't wait to see your faces again.

As i was running errands in preparation for the festival I ran across this beautiful work of art. It is iron work covering a window, and it is marvelous. Totally inspiring! I had to stop and take notice. what do you think???

Crazy about Candles... scent by Fifth and Madison Collection: ARIENDE

2010-06-27T16:53:00.000-07:00

CANDLE SCENTS....

A while ago a friend of mine asked if I had a favorite candle scent, and I realized I didn't have one. But I went to a shopping event called Shecky's Girls night out in NY and found a fab-u-lous candle.

The brand is Fifth and Madison collection, and the scent is Ariende.    Let me tell you, this is my "new favorite thing"!!!! First of all one of my rituals before working is to first light a candle, second sweep up a little in my work room, and only then can the creative juices can flow...

this is the yummy-ist smell ever!!! Anyway this Ariende scent is very bold and "throws well". In other words it fills a room with strong lasting fragrance. It's a soy candle witch is a plus considering soy has so many benefits compared to paraffin waxes.   For instance, soy candles burn cleaner (less soot), and also burn up to twice as long(it has 3 wicks). Since soy beans are grown in the US, soy candles contribute to the American Economy by producing domestically. These are just a couple of the reasons why soy is good. For more info on soy candle benefits go to www.soy-wax-candles.com.

The candle was selling at Sheky's Girl Night out, for a deal (steal really) of 2 for $40, opposed to $32 though their website. The company describes the scent as a "fresh, shimming scent that opens an orchard of Peach, Nectarine, Cassis, and Rasberry woven into a splendid melange of White tea and Ginger". All I know is that I want to jump in to the wax it smells so good!!! Totally intoxicating... I'm burning one now!

Did I mention the packaging is on point?

the moral of the story is this candle is the thing to buy!!!!!! whatcha waiting for? www.the5thandmadisoncollection.com, www.sheckys.com

Textured Tablet Series in Oxidized Silver, Design Texturing Hammer

2010-03-26T17:05:00.000-07:00

TEXTURED TABLET SERIES
In exploring the possibilities in creating texture a series was born.
Upon exploring the textures that could be produced with my new funky hammer-I created this series. I hope you like it. Hammered Sterling Silver was fabricated into tablets that were oxidized to create a contrast within each piece. To purchase click the paypal button at right. Enjoy!

TEXTURED HAMMER

I recently purchased a funky-beautifully crafted heavy duty Design Texturing hammer. The awesome hammer has 2 designs for you to use in adding exquisite texture design to your metal work.

For all you designers here is more info on the hammer:

Each head is 1 inch by 1/4 inch. One face has 4 star designs machined into it and the other has over 24 small diamond protrusions.
The craftsmanship of this hammer is outstanding. This is a tool that will last a life time with proper care. The overall length of the hammer is 10 inches. The thickness of the handle is just right. The weight approximately 11 oz.. You will love this hammer I'm certain. I loved it so much I purchased one for a friend.
