Love them all. :) So beautiful and divine.
As for your decision to stay or not, I think in your heart and soul, the answer will be there. Maybe not in the next few days, but soon. Whatever the decision, I'm sure you'll be happy wherever your journey takes you. You seem like that kind of person. I wish you the very best with whatever decision you and Rico make.
Once again love the Jewels.
Big Hugs and Love,
Toni
I can absolutely see why you want to fully devote yourself to designing jewelry...you are incredibly talented. I hope that your path becomes clear to you as you progress (I have no doubts that it will!)
Very, very pretty. I hope so much that this works out for you.
I kept scrolling down saying to myself, "Oh that one is my favorite." Then repeating it again and again...your work is really evolving and it is just beautiful.
Love,
D.
Perfectly beautiful, as always, Ali! Great work, keep it up, it is simply wonderful!
Beautiful work! You seem to be branching out in your designs :)
These are incredible! They made my day! Sometimes I will see something and I simply feel overwhelmed with inspiration. That's what seeing your work did for me today!
Very nice indeed! :)
In Moz you'd have an incredible opportunity to make a living out of it... You know us Southern Africans, so very Ethnic-chic-oriented :) They are very nice and you're talented. And you should do something you're passionate about!
So... when are the rings coming? :PPP
~Toni - I like to think I'm the kind of person that is happy no matter what the circumstances...but my whole experience here has made me realize that I am capable of having a shamefully negative attitude, too. Just human like the rest! :) Thanks for all the support with the jewels and the decision. I know it will be okay, deep down, whatever happens.
~Telfair - I hope the path comes clear, and I hope along with it a definitive style for my jewelry becomes clear, too. Right now I'm just trying on a dozen different styles on for size trying to find my own unique expression.
~Safiya - Thank you so much. I hope it works out, and feel that gut-level intuition that if I want it enough, it WILL work out!
~Left-handed trees - I'm so flattered. Thanks for all the support, you are really a wonderful cheerleader. :)
~Alina - Can I send you a tape so that you can simply record all this great encouragement as a video and then send it back to me for the moments when I am feeling doubtful? Really, you are great!
~Jane Poe - Yep, trying out different styles and on a mission to use all of the supplies possible since sourcing is such a problem. I've still not figured out "my style" but hopefully it will come with time.
~Kristine - Now you just made my day!
~Jo Ann - Girl, tell me about it. There is huge potential here. Rings will come in June as I am going to take metalsmithing and casting classes in the US!!!
Goodie!
These are all so beautiful! I would want each and every one. Great.
:)
Hey just stumbled in from sunday scribbles.. I love the jewelry... fabulous!
LOVE. Jeez, the one at the top is the most beautiful.
If there's anything I would suggest it's that you should learn how to work with silver and gold posthaste because you could make some stunning fusion jewellry.
