I love the orange electro-coated freshwater pearls for Fall. This has me thinking of Pumpkins and orange Fall leaves. The gold plated Asian clasp adds a mysterious twist.

This necklace will be available at this Sunday's Craft Fair.

Artist Feature: Lisa Li Photography

2009-08-22T11:00:00.000-07:00

This month's August artist feature is Lisa Li Photography, in Atlanta. This artist is a triple threat because she does photography, make-up and styling. So watch out!

Question and Answer:

1Q: At age 7, I remember you wanted to be a "rich and famous artist"...How did you get involved in the work that you do right now?

A: oh, its been a long journey down this road. I was really into fashion growing up and took a few classes in college, incorporated that into all of my jobs I had. Then I got into makeup. started working as a makeup artist for known photographers in the Atlanta area. Eventually I realized I had so many ideas, watching these shoots, I thought why couldnt I express myself through photography? so I studied hard and worked my way up. Used everything I learned through the years, and now I am able to do and oversea everything on a shoot.

2Q: What is your most favorite thing to do? Styling, Make-up or Photography?

A: All three go hand in hand. I feel that the styling and makeup make the picture. if I strictly had to choose one I would say photography

3Q: What do you consider your most greatest achievement so far?

A:The fact that I can make money doing what I love doing is an achievement in itself.

4Q: Other goals for your business in the future?

A: Eventually I will be hiring other photographers and full staff for in-house work in my Atlanta based studio.

5Q: What do you consider as your formula for success in your field?

A: Creativity. Coming up with new ideas every single day, keeping note of them and building from there.

6Q: What is the most hardest shoot you've had to do for your job?

A: A dog. He was so hyper-active and couldn't sit still, we had to trick him with treats and a distraction in form of a toy.

7Q: Your Photographs are awesome, what camera & equipment do you use in a photoshoot?

A: I love my Nikon camera and Alien Bees light kit. havent let me down yet, haha.

8Q: What makes a great photograph to you?

A: The story to the picture. I like to project my photos with meaning behind them.

9Q: What do you like to do when not working?

A: Hanging with the little one. my son is so entertaining and takes up the remainder of my time. I enjoy every minute of it.

10Q: Anybody interested in booking your services, where and how do they get a hold of you?

A: Easy. email me at lisaliwork@gmail.com

How to Make Your Own LightBox

2009-06-29T07:39:00.000-07:00

In my new HOW-TO series, I decided as my first , to blog about my experience in making my own makeshift lightbox. What is a lightbox exactly? Do you see all those jewelry pictures that all look so professional, as if they are floating in space? Voila! Lightbox. With a lightbox, you don't have to rely on the weather as you can take all your pictures indoors with a good flourescent lamp.

Alas, to buy a your own photo-lightbox will cost you in the $400 (small) to a whopping $800 for a large one. So in the meanwhile, I found this handy-dandy tutorial to make a lightbox out of a plain cardboard box and white printing paper.

Materials:

Glue or tape
5 pcs white Printing paper
Scissors
Cardboard cutter
ruler and pen for measuring
1 USPS square box

Step One: Cut out the Top Flap of the Cardboard box. If you are only planning to take pictures of small items such as earrings and bracelets, you can use the USPS box like as shown. If you need to take pictures of bigger items, you would need a bigger box such as an old printer box.

Step 2: Measure all four sides about 1 inch from the sides and draw lines to make frames.

Step 3: Using a cutter, cut out squares from the sides

Step 4: First attach a white printing paper on the inside, making it curve slightly upward and paste or tape on the outside (make sure tape doesn't show inside the box) . You might have to cut it to fit the inside.

Step 5: Cut to fit and glue all white paper on the 3 sides, except for one which will be your opening.

Step 6: Glue white paper on the TOP.

Step 7: You will need a white LED desk lamp to light the TOP and a macro camera at the opening to start taking pictures!!
You can also use this using bright sunlight. The Top cover will prevent shadows and glares. You would then need to use a photo-editing tool such as flickr picnik or picassa.

Some pictures I took using the new lightbox using natural sunlight:

Cross My Heart Necklace

Cross My Heart Necklace, originally uploaded by crossmyheartjwlry.

I visited the lovely Swarovski store today. I saw lovely crystal pendants and animal figurines. If you haven't been to a Swarovski store, make sure you check it out. It was a lovely sparkly experience!

This is what serves as my inspiration for this new piece. I used an 18mm Swarovski heart crystal pendant in Rose. I made the silver plated curb chain extra long 24 inches, so it falls right in the middle of your chest. Ends with an easy to attach toggle and made with love charm. Now available for sale @ my ETSY shop.

Jewelry Display at Veteran's Square Park

2009-06-06T12:16:00.000-07:00

Some pictures I took of my table today at Veteran's Square Park, Yardley Pa. A lot of kiddies went for the hello kitty and goth skull glass tile pendants, which was customized. A couple of the Zombuki Love you necklaces made by Brigitte was also sold..which (as authorized distributor) had in limited supply. Some of my Summer cord necklaces with shells was also a hit. When it comes to jewelry, selling them in person has always been succesful. I like to look at the expressions of their faces when they go OOH and AHH over these beauties. There's nothing like seeing them in person.

Quite a fruitful half day in a life of a jewelry maker.

New Red Rose Earring on Etsy

2009-05-23T16:53:00.000-07:00

Have you ever made something beautiful that wasn't at all planned? Take it from this new red resin rose earrings I just posted. These 22mm cabochons were meant to be pendants for my Princess line collection. I happened to have these Sterling silver post earrings that I was planning to make with pearls. But after seeing a picture of this iconic jewelry designer and yes, Kelly Osbourne..I was simply inspired to make this set.
You can be a rocker/punk chic or citygirl, but the pictures actually came out like it came from the movie set of Zorro, because it would have been an earring that Catherine-Zeta Jones would wear perfectly with her dress on the set.

These earring spell nothing but R-O-M-A-N-C-E!

Now availble at my Shop.

Peach Cameo with pearls: Age of Innocence

2009-05-18T13:43:00.001-07:00

Peach Cameo with pearls, originally uploaded by crossmyheartjwlry.

I made this particular cameo as inspired by Gossip Girl episode where they were interpreting the play behind Age of Innocence. In the scene, it was a blue cameo with white and blue pearls.

I decided to create one using my peach vintage cabochon Cameo, with white freshwater pearls and peach button pearls. The thick hearts chain halfway was an added touch.

Age of Innocence:
". in metropolises it was 'not the thing' to arrive early at the opera; and what was or was not 'the thing' played a part as important in Newland Archer's New York as the inscrutable totem errors that had ruled the destinies of his forefathers thousands of years ago." (Book One, Chapter 1, p. 4)

Handmade Jewelry on Etsy - Bugs Charm Silver Bracelet by Crossmyheartjewelry

saw a little lady bug flying in the air,
But when I tried to catch her, two bugs were there.
Two little lady bugs flew up in a tree.
I tiptoed very quietly, and then I saw three.
Three little lady bugs - I looked for one more.I saw one sitting on the ground, that made four.
Four little lady bugs - another one arrived.I saw her sitting on a flower, and that made five.
Five little lady bugs, all red and black -I clapped my hands and shouted, and they all flew back!

Etsy Treasury : Les Belles Fleurs

2009-05-15T20:39:00.000-07:00

So I was finally able to get a spot in Treasury. For the theme, I thought of flowers. Since it's spring and summer is coming up, I got inspiration by no less than my Vintage lucite carved roses bracelet. Growing up I was always surrounded by flowers, my mother had a green thumb. Unfortunately I did not inherit that trait. So I pour my talent into floral jewelry instead. :)

What is this about lockets that hold a universal charm? The idea of carrying someone's pictures close to your heart or is it meant for people that are no longer with us? Whatever it is, lockets are here to stay.

I totally forgot I had purchased this Sterling silver heart locket to make into a cute necklace. I hope someone with a good "heart" will bring it to their nice home. Now available at my Etsy shop!

Handmade Jewelry on Etsy - Double Strand Pearl Bracelet by Crossmyheartjewelry

The Aristocrat Bracelet

( The Aristocrat , a poem excerpt by Gilbert K. Chesterton)

" blind your eyes and break your heart and hack your hand away,

And lose your love and shave your head;

but do not go to stay

At the little place in What'sitsname where folks are rich and clever;

The golden and the goodly house, where things grow worse for ever;

There are things you need not know of, though you live and die in vain,

There are souls more sick of pleasure than you are sick of pain;

There is a game of April Fool that's played behind its door,

Where the fool remains for ever and the April comes no more,

Where the splendour of the daylight grows drearier than the dark,

And life droops like a vulture that once was such a lark:..."

"Growing up, I was always surrounded by flowers and plants. My mom loved orchids and beautiful flowrs. Unfortunately, I didn't inherit her green thumb. So I wear these vintage rose beads around my arm"

Just posted in my shop! I've actually adored these rose beads months ago when I first saw them. There is only one supplier that sells these, so I managed to grab it right away. I've sold 3 of these items, in both matching necklace and bracelets. I've decided to post the last one which happens to be a small bracelet alternated with genuine Swarovski crystals in my Etsy shop.

Artist Feature of the Month: Brigitte Coovert

2009-05-05T12:16:00.000-07:00

Here is the woman behind the "Unwed Human Female"

http://pbrigitte.wordpress.com/ As she fondly describes herself as the " the tented fingers and maniacal laughter behind the Zombuki ". Most importantly, her one of a kind costume jewelry reflects the colors and creativity of her dolls. (Photos courtesy of Brigitte) Love--love-- love-- her work!

1. Q: How did you get involved in designing Zombuki dolls?

A: I had been altering toys for a long time, maybe off and on for 10 years, when I discovered Pullip dolls. After about a year I wanted to sell one but no one wanted her, so I decided to customize her, and it took off!

2. Q: Where can people learn more and buy these dolls?

A: The Zombuki can be found at http://www.zombuki.com/ and for Pullips/Dals in general I highly recommend http://www.thevalleyofthedolls.com/

3. Q: How and When did you first start making and selling your first jewelry?

A: I actually bought some cameos and settings off of Etsy just because I thought they'd make good props for the dolls. I never got around to using them and found them while I was cleaning one day, put them together, and things just kind of went on from there! My friend Shana (of Shana Logic) has been immensely supportive and helpful too, she's my first/largest wholesale vendor, I owe her tons.

4. Q: Where do you get inspiration behind your beautiful jewelry?

A: Thank you :3 I'm actually inspired a lot by color, I adore colorful things and can't get enough of them! I have no interest in making kind of standard stuff since it's not what I wear, I was the kid with 25 jelly bracelets on her arms and I never really grew out of it. I want jewelry that's costume jewelry but really high quality, that's the stuff that makes me smile, so it's what I strive for in my own work.

5. Q: How many pieces do you make in a day/week?

A: Depends on the day/week! I work in fits and starts since I make jewelry, resin, the Zombuki, kokeshi, glass tile pendants, plus take photos and work/school full time. Some weeks I'll only start a Zombuki, other weeks I'll make 20 pieces of jewelry! I started 4 kokeshi two months ago and haven't completed one yet, lol. I release 2 new items a day in my shop 5-6 days a week though, so that gives you a pretty good idea of how much I make. My problem is that I only want to make one of everything, which means new photos each time, lol! it really slows me down!

6. Q: Do you have any upcoming shows?

A: I may have another gallery show in LA this year (cross the fingers) for the Zombuki. I try to do local Florida craft shows in December for holiday shopping but nothing scheduled yet. I did the Atomic Holiday Bazaar last year and loved it so hopefully I'll do that one again.

7. Q: Where can I buy any of your jewelry?

A: I'm on Etsy at http://zombuki.etsy.com/ :D my home away from home! lol

8. Q: Your photographs always look professional. What camera and gadgets do you use?

A: Thank you! I just a Cannon Power Shot Pro1 - it's my heart! I'd feel lost without it! I try to keep things simple photography-wise, I use natural sunlight for example, it's a luxury of living in Florida! My grandpa was a professional photographer, nature photographer I should say, and he taught me everything I know, I wish I had paid more attention!

8. Q: You have a huge fan base. What is the secret to your success?

A: Really? LOL I guess maybe not letting things go to your head is a secret? I don't feel like I have a huge fanbase :D but I know I've made some great friends because of my shop/dolls, and I still freak out with joy when ever some one buys something. What more could you want?

New Glass Pendants

2009-05-04T08:29:00.000-07:00

I just finished a new line of glass pendants featuring artwork by the late Biko Mabilog. A good friend of the family, a wife, a mother and most importantly a gifted artist. All these pendants were done in commemoration of her.

Biko passed away from breast cancer and if you know a thing or two about this deadly disease, I recommend reading her memoirs at her site: http://bikomabilog.multiply.com/

If you are interested in purchasing any of the pendants, this will soon be availble at my Etsy shop.

Mom Sterling Silver Heart Necklace

2009-05-03T07:48:00.000-07:00

Why Mom and pearls are alike? Just like the pearls, a mother's beauty is created out of hardships and adversity. Mother's are irreplaceable gemstones."
I just posted this very elegant Mom heart sterling silver pendant with peach pearls on Etsy. This design I created month ago, but have trouble holding on to it because it sells like hotcakes! I think it's the cute sterling silver pendant that matches the silver plated heishi beads created just an elegant modern look to any mom. The length is 20 inches and falls right on your chest. I used a toggle for easy closure but still secure.

Now availble at Etsy. (last one in stock) Check out for more pictures at http://www.crossmyheartjewelry.etsy.com/

My first Ever blog in the new site featuring all Cross My Heart jewelry items from my shop.

Today, I thought I'd start off with my daily picks for Mother's Day presents. I myself is a mother of one. What a better way to appreciate your mom for all thoses years of cooking, cleaning, taking care of your needs before her own....than to give her something she would want but not necessarily buy for herself (after all, mothers think of her children first).

About the bracelets: I used 12mm Swarovski pearls and alternated it with 4mm Swarovski crystals...lovely. What added more definition is the unique golden heart bead on the side and an amber foil bead opposite side.

What's even more surprising is that it is affordable at $16 a piece with free lovely pink gift box. I searched online for similiar items and a bracelet or earring like this would cost you at least $50...
To buy this item, simply go to my shop at Etsy : http://www.crossmyheartjewelry.etsy.com/
