New "Pajaritos" designs for 2014

I have been making little sculpted birds since I started creating my jewelry and this year I decided to come back again and design new pieces. I can honestly say I enjoy very much sculpting the tiny birds with metal clay. Sometimes it gets a little difficult because they are super tiny but these miniature birds are the ones I enjoy making the most!

This time I created 2 sets of earrings and a necklace with the same bird motif, I managed to add a mini butterfly (one of my new elements in my work) into the necklace design.

I can not wait to show all these pieces in my show in April at SSA, Fiesta Arts Fair.

My First "Nicho" is Finished !

A couple of days ago I started painting some wood boxes to make new homes for my figurine rings I made last year.
They needed a perfect display for them and instead of looking for something made already, I decided I will make them their perfect home.

I forgot how much I enjoy making folk art, painting the boxes made me realized my big love for this form of art. Every minute I have spent making them is full of joy and wonderful memories of my country.

I will be making more than eight nichos in total but I may make more. This is the first one I have finished and it was inspired in my Angel ring.

I first painted the wood box in red and started drawing free hand some flowers and leaves.

While I was painting my box I started talking an online workshop with the amazing Keith Lo Bue to learn how to work with steel wire. I took a class with him in Houston already but I knew this new workshop will be incredible and I am having a GREAT time.

During the first couple of videos, we had to start playing with a piece of wire to practice and when I saw the piece of wire I knew what I could do with it, instead of just leaving that in a box of "practice" pieces.

I grabbed my stamping tools and added some stamps in my piece. I played a little more with it and adapted the design to my box.

Yes, I added some metal into my "Nicho" and I am super HAPPY at how it makes my nicho more ME !!
