Happy 2011!!!!

 

A new year has just begun, I wish this will be the most colorful, creative, kitch and successfull year ever!!!

To wish good things to me and to all, here's a pic of my Lakshmi pop necklace, that was a Christmas present I made for my friend.

Lakshmi protects everyone and give aboundance to all!!

I made the necklace with mixed media beads, both vintage than new. the pendant and components are silver tone and nickel and lad free, the image in the pendant is a traditional image of Lakshmi elaborated with Photoshop and turned in one part of a digital collage sheet.

After I cut out the oval I've attached it to the setting and finished with a magnifying glass. 

Hindu Gods and Goddess

In the past month I was desperately looking for a new theme for my resin jewellery. I wanted something unique and something I'm really interested in and so I've deceided to make some pendants with images of Hindu gods and goddess.
I love Hindu iconography,I love India, so I made a research of traditional portraits of deities and elaborated them with Photoshop, to make the colors even more bright, vibrant, almost neon.
In the picture you can see some samples of pendants of different sizes. All of them are finished with a resin layer except of the first one, that has a huge magnifying cabochone on top, I made the shocking pink setting with resin coloured with pigments, the mould I used was made by me out of a setting I bought long ago and never used.
They will be turned soon in new necklaces and brooches, but before the settings need to be a bit customized with crystals, beads or flower beads...let's see :)
