Tree of life pendant

A new pendant!

'A tree of life is variously,
a) a mystical concept alluding to the interconnectedness of all life on our planet,
b) a metaphor for common descent in the evolutionary sense, and
c) a motif in various world theologies, mythologies and philosophies.'(Wikipedia)

Black Obsidian is a gemstone of volcanic composition attributed with the mystical powers of prophecy and visions.

Painting,making dolls,creating jewels...smiling!

I had been tagged awhile back by Sandra Mucciardi from Canada http://sandramucciardi.blogspot.com/ to list 5 things I do to keep my mind healthy and my life balanced.
first of all..smile, smile, smile, people don't smile...a smile is a precious gift! smiling...Sandra says 'we need to smile!'

( 'Smile', 1987,This is my old friend Mariella, She was so smiling...)

2) making jewels, creating jewels, drawing jewels, thinking of jewels...rings, necklaces, pendants...It's a little obsession ehehehhe (see my etsy store, left side of this blog)
3) Painting...my old passion, my future passion, This is my passion!
4) creating dolls...dolls are my other passion, my obsession
5) listening to music...sometime I create with Enya...or Bach, or Mozart or contemporary music, I love music!

It is now my turn to do the tagging...

Silent Night....

IS EVERYBODY SLEEPING SINCE HOURS? Strange Sunday, silence...silence, quiet, without cars or childrens, only the sound of wind and dark sky. I love it! I'm drawing, but I want to post these pendants, good night!

Christmas's Jewels

Everything shines when it is Christmas...and I love the cold days, the dark, the little lights on the windows...inside our mind...I'm creating little jewels, for the moment only pendants when people sleep, The rain falls impetuous on the roofs.

For me a pendant is like Rubik's cube: If I am tense, nervous, or stressed I like very much to interweave silver wire with precious stones and charms

yeah It's Christmas, jewels into precious envelopes!

..to my customers! (and to my etsy page http://www.gufobardo.etsy.com/ )
