My last Thank You Giveaway

This is the last of my THANK YOU giveaways I have done during this month. I liked celebrating my birthday's month sharing my work with the people who have been making me company in my blog and Facebook page.

Hope you all continue to keep me company and to talk with me by posting in my blog posts and my Facebook page, I enjoy so much having this contact with all of you !! ♥

The earrings I will be giving away are made with silver using one of my signature templates. I textured them with my own texture sheet and hand formed a rose and a swirl to add some extra details.

My Virgin is finished

Since I was invited to be the lead artist for Dia de los Muertos: La Ofrenda at SSA, I have been painting some pieces I will display during the event. 

I am planning in having some of my pieces of jewelry, paintings, figurines and folk art inspired in the day of the dead tradition of my country Mexico. All these pieces will be made by me and it will be the first time I will show more than just my jewelry.

Painting and making folk art is something I enjoy doing a lot. I have never taken classes for painting or learn how to create the folk art but I like it to be this way much better because all my work is 100% what comes from my heart.

One piece that will be the center piece for my altar is a painting I made in a hand carved wood tray of the Virgin of Guadalupe. It took me more than 5 months to finished it, I painted almost everything but I left the face plain until today that I felt it was the right time to bring her in my painting.

You can mixed and match different shapes to create unique pieces of jewelry like these samples I made:

You can add some extra details like the flowers or simple just use the shape and add a texture and patina (like Gilders paste) to them.
