How to Wear MY PEACE of jewelry - Ruffles

Yes, ruffles
Usually me and ruffles don't mesh
But I loved this dress
It's a thrift store find.


This particular photo session, I call my "hard & soft" shoot.
Me wearing a feminine dress and 
photographing myself in front of metal sculpture







With my ruffle dress I wore MY PEACE of jewelry Chandelier Earrings


These earrings I made using Turquoise heishi beads, silver metal gypsy beads and silver metal wire.
I call them my "House" earrings because they look like the front of a house
Similar earrings available on Etsy



I took these photos on UCLA's campus, Murphy Sculpture Garden.
The "Gardens" spans nearly 5 acres of UCLA'S campus and has over 70 sculptures.
This sculpture is only one of many that I plan to photograph.

    This is one of my favorite colors to wear because it's almost universally flattering - and it looks terrific on you! I wish I still had pierced ears because I would buy those earring in an instant!

      Danke, Annette.

      Ich habe nie die Ostkueste besucht. Ich besuchte die Stadt von New York, aber nie das Kueste.

      Oh! Du meinte die Westkueste. Los Angeles und San Francisco sind am Westkueste. Ich mag San Franscisco. Es ist ein nette Stadt. Man braucht kein Auto.

    Beautiful you in your blue dress ... so gorgeous on your skin. On a pale girl, it wouldn't have been half so beautiful! Lovely environs, but they only serve to show you off to fabulous advantage. And, turquoise ... of course!

      Hi Jan:

      I think you'd look great in the color. It's not as bold as you think.

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.

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
