How I Wear MY PEACE of jewelry - Challenge

A CHALLENGE in two ways.
One is the challenge offered by the website Everybody, Everywear for one to dress  MONOCHROMATIC,
which is
"Choose your favorite color and wear it proudly"
Dressing MONOCHROMATIC is not a problem for me
but I wanted to make it a PERSONAL challenge, (which is the SECOND challenge)
SECOND CHALLENGE is
wear something-that-I-have-not-worn-because-I-was-too-scared-to-wear-it-outfit.
This is the outfit.
I purchased this dress from my favorite store
on sale for $20 bucks maybe.
It's been hanging in my closet for months
Don't get me wrong, I love the dress
with the lace, length and comfort
but I did not think I could WEAR the dress
because I dress a little tomboyish.
This is girlie-feminine!

glasses - Urban Outfitters


I make jewelry,
which is the reason I started this blog
as a challenge to wear and show how MY PEACE of jewelry can be worn
Here I paired these cute Lucite Earrings and one of my

I made a few of both and can be purchased on my site on Etsy

    You are so crafty. I'm a fan of long earrings the one's you've made go so well with that cream dress. Great pics

    You look great in your "girlie" dress and I love your sandals, too! But, I understand the feeling of wearing something that feels out of your own style.

MANNEQUIN - DIY

Image
UPDATE a/o May 2012 Because I love to work with my hands and create a variety of things. I thought I could make my own mannequins.  I used the paper mache' technique to make my mine. See below for step by step on how to make your own WO-MANNEQUIN Materials : Grocery bags, wallpaper paste and tape. Tools required: brush, box cutter, plastic wrap Grocery bags Bags from my local store Wallpaper paste (premixed) purchased from hardware store Boxcutter purchased from hardware store Method : Papier-mâché technique What is Papier-mâché? It's French for chewed-up paper due to it's appearance. In this case, torn-up appearance. I used a main mannequin as the frame to create MY PEACE of JEWELRY WO-MANNEQUINs.

How to Choose the Right Earrings for your Face Shape

Image
I love to make jewelry; earrings included. But I have to admit not every style is right for every Woman. Depending on your face shape some earrings types are better than others. The types of earrings you wear should depend on your FACE shape. The four basic shapes are highlighted below. SQUARE SHAPE What is a square-shaped face? - sides of your face will be straight - face will be nearly as wide as it is long - your jawline will be defined, with only a minimum curve                                                                        - strong jawline                                                                      Best EARRINGS for square-shaped face - earrings with rounded designs - elongated earrings, especially under the chin line - dangling earrings - hoop earrings These styles are considered excellent because they add a softness to the facial angles *avoid very wide, bulky, square earrings Famous square-shaped  face celebrities

Getting started...

Image
I've been making or stringing beads together for years. I am not exactly sure how I started making jewelry. Oh yeah! I got started because I've always collected beads. I liked going to bead shops and bought beads that appealed to me then would place in empty pickle jars and store them on my shelfs at home. After a while I had so many beads that I needed to do something with them, which was the obvious - make jewelry. I bought some how-to books and that is how I got started. A few years back, friend of mine, who worked at Fox, encouraged me to let her sell my stuff at their Xmas bazaar. I was pleasantly surprised - I sold quite a few items. My friend was so cool. Here is a photo of the display table that she put together. Since then, I have never actually tried to sell my jewelry. But now I want to start. I created a catalog and the name of my jewelry line is MY PEACE of JEWELRY - pretty catchy. I don't have a website. It's too expensive and there are so many websites n
