Despite my love of Halloween I never could bring myself to make Halloween inspired jewelry. I guess pumpkins and black cats are not my forte, but then...I just love skulls! Especially Tibetan skulls in rosaries.
A couple of days ago I also watched "The Book of Life", and my only regret is not watching it sooner! This animated movie is spectacular and absolutely creative! I especially loved the depiction of "La Muerte" or Death...so pretty! I went home and wanted to make sugar skull jewelry!
Oh wait...I don't make sugar skull jewelry..but I do make other jewelry...so this is what I came up with, something so colorful and not my usual I almost punished myself and took it apart....well then I said screw it! I actually love the results and I will wear this stuff if no one else wants it! Especially the necklace...
Aren't these cute? I found these at a flea market and I've been itching to use more milagros in my jewelry. After all I am half hispanic and I love Frida Khalo, so these are sort of a tribute...
Then I went totally nuts with carnelian, topaz and all sorts of candy colors...sort of a medley of the spirit of Mexican festivities and well...the candy that you get on Halloween ;-) Yum...
'Tis the night...I wonder if I'll get trick or treaters...
I'll be concentrating more on metal-smithing and painting for the next couple of weeks, so I might take a little break from Etsy, since I've been working on it constantly.
See you ghouls! ;-)
