Damdesign

Today I am featuring the lovely artwork of Damdesign. Please read her profile below.

"I have grown up living on art. I have always been a crafty person and my mom always tells this story from back when I was 3 -- I used to get up in the morning and watch the art programs that used to play on T.V. One day I was watching and I brought to my sleeping mom a basket I made all by myself. She said it was cut, there was glue, and it was woven together...and I was only 3. She always tells me that she wishes she had kept it. Well the passion for art and crafty things has been with me my entire life, and I finally decided that it was time to sell my art. I put a lot of time and heart into the pieces of art I create, and I love doing it. "

Wedding Day Jewels

Before you know it, June weddings will be the focus for young couples ready to take the plunge. One of the many decisions that needs to made is wedding bands and what the bride will wear with her gown. This stunning handmade14k gold band by Giftbearer will be a symbol of love for years to come. Perfect for the bride or groom, the braided bands symbolize the intertwining of love, hope and dreams. This ring which measures 7 and 1/4" wide can be given for other occasions as well.


The necklace below is made by Elektra Jewelry Design with top quality freshwater keishi pearls, a crystal studded magnetic clasp and vintage swarovski beads. the pearls have amazing sheen and luster. It measures 18" long and can be worn with the clasp in the front, the side, or in the back. It will compliment a scoop neck, v neck or strapless gown and can be worn again and again with many outfits due to its classic design. Either one of these pieces is sure to become a family heirloom.

Winter Solstice

The winter solstice will arrive this year on December 22, at 1:08 AM. At that point the hours of daylight will increase and night hours will decrease. That is a happy thought for those ,like me who long for warmth,sunny days and flowers. Deabusamor's winter solstice photo seems to depict that longing for spring with the sun behind the icicles reminding us of warmer days to come. Deabusamor's talent is evident not only in her amazing photos but in the stunning polymer bead set below. Check out her exciting etsy shop.

Have you Ever Been to Spain?

I have never been to Spain, but when I looked at this magnificent landscape photo of Navarra, Spain in Kathryn Short's etsy shop, I decided to add Spain to my list of "must see"locations. Besides taking wonderful photographs, Kathryn also knits adorable hats like the child's hat shown below. I love the bright colors and design of this hat.
