Bubbling with Love

Introducing the new "Focus" line of aspiration rings.

I have been working on a new line of “dream driven” rings, which are now available at Jewel Envy in Toronto, and soon online. This line is based on a simple idea – stay focused on your dream. Many of us have vision boards, or other ways to inspire us and remind us of the things in life we want to manifest. However, once those visual reminders are out of sight, they can be out of mind. My vision is two-fold. One, a beautiful, easy to wear ring that helps to stay focused when making decisions about time, money everyday, all day. Two, a constant reminder of love and support as a loved one works towards their dream. The rings follow a motif, but are elegant and subtle, leaving it up to the wearer to share the deeper meaning with those they deem worthy. Our dreams and goals are varied and individual as we are, but the Focus line has launched with three rings which look beautiful with or without the aspirations: Focus - Writing a Book: This is designed with the aspirations of some...

Inspiration Interview with Erin Groff of Pulpa Paper Products.

Artist Erin Groff of Newark, Ohio, creates with fiber that is cotton mixed with various recycled fibers, dyes, and botanicals from the garden. The cotton and additives are soaked, possibly dyed, and beat into a pulp. Once this pulp (slurry) is created, it goes through a screening and pressing process and then left to dry. Erin built on the education she received from Columbus College of Art and Design, played, experimented, and now sells her art and sculpture online. This is what she has to say about Inspiration... What insipres you? Ahhh, a timeless question, "what inspires me?" Sometimes it seems so difficult to find and other days I can find it in the way the sun hits the trees, the way a child plays, or even as simply as the taste of really good peanut butter and jelly sandwich. When have you had your greatest "A-ha" moments? Keep in mind artists, that sometimes it isn't about how GREAT your art is, it's about how GREAT YOU BELIEV...

Bgirl Maehem Pendant... Look what I can do!

What have I been up to? Here is what I've been up to: This is Maehem, bgirl/owner/instructor/awesome person, and now, pendant. She is doing a freeze on one hand while holding her foot with the other hand. She is made of Sterling silver and is suspended from a Sterling silver cable chain. To make mini-Maehem, I started with a sheet of silver, a few pics of the real Maehem, and her permission to use her image. Then, I released her from her paper prison... And glued her to the silver sheet. A-sawing we will go. Very, very carefully, the edges needed to be filed and smoothed with emery paper. No snags required or desired. Both front and back also got the emery treatment, and the front was polished to a mirror shine. After I pierced the pendant, I used wire to create tiny rings that could attach the pendant to a Sterling silver cable chain. The rings need to be soldered to ensure strength and du...
