Handmade gift boxes & revamps

by Delisa on December 28, 2011

I just learned how to make these awesome little gift boxes out of scrapbooking paper. I wasn’t really diggin’ the jewelry boxes I was using before.

From now on all jewelry comes in one of these little boxes!

Scrapbook paper gift boxes

 

I hand fold each one. I use different scrapbook papers that I feel reflect the vibe of my jewelry.

I have also been working on rewriting my jewelry descriptions to give you a better idea of each pieces energy. I’ll admit that it has been awhile since I was excited about my jewelry, but after working so hard on other projects, I feel renewed and energetic again.

I’m also shopping for a new look for my etsy shop since I will be adding paintings, prints, and maybe some other handmade items to it.  I’m moving toward something new and I think it is going to be good. I make so many different sorts of things that it seems silly to have a bunch of different sites and shops.

I want to be able to share whatever I make with you when ever I make it.

The Whispered Girl & a multi-passionate me

by Delisa on November 24, 2011

I have been working on some new art pieces! Spiraling Elements Studio started out as the lasted renaming of my jewelry business. At the time I also had envisioned a place for me to share all of my work. I don’t want to have a separate website for each type of art or craft that I make.

I’ve tried it. It is insane.

I already have a soap blog and The Creativity Rebellion site. The purpose of the soap site is obvious. The Rebellion focuses on creativity coaching (I don’t like that term). I do art things there, but it isn’t about my art. It is about helping others make their art. It also has been over run by faeries.

The studio is more about my art and sharing the pieces I making and selling. I don’t sell art work from the Rebellion. I probably post about non art or craft things that don’t fit over at the rebellion. We’ll see how it goes.

Anyways

Here is my newest piece: The Whispered Girl

The Whispered Girl

 

The wind caressed her face

Twisting twirling in her hair

Licking whispered words

Across her ear

Secret longings wrapped

Tightly around her soul

This isn’t the best pic. I took it with my phone because my camera is on the blink. This is the second painting I’m working on. The first one called The Sunken Girl is posted at the Rebellion.

Haunted by the Himself card

October 5, 2011

This is a re-posting of an earlier article.  I have owned  The Faeries’ Oracle by Brian Froud for a few years now. It wasn’t the first tarot or divination deck I owed. It did instantly become my favorite. The art work is beautiful and the card definitions are wonderful, but that isn’t why I fell [...]

A little broken Ammolite

August 17, 2011

I bought this Ammolite stone at a gem show that had come to town. I was very excited when I saw their ads. When I got there my heart sank just a little at the prices. They weren’t bad, I just didn’t have that much money at the time. I bought this, a strand of [...]

Welcome to the studio

August 16, 2011

Cuz I needed another website like I needed another hole in my head. I have been going back and forth on starting a site for my jewelry making and things like that. I tried having everything crammed on the Creativity Rebellion site and it didn’t seem to be working well. It felt overwhelming and confusing. [...]

The Morrigan Speaks, playing with oxidized copper

August 16, 2011

This is the bare stone after I stripped it of its former cage. I didn’t like the wrap I have given it years and years ago. A stone this delicious deserved something better. This is the finished pendant. It is dark and mysterious. The flash is hard to catch. It hides in the dark depths [...]
