Call from Brighton

-
I received a wonderful surprise call from Brighton Friday night. Rachel received her bracelet. As you can see, it differs a bit from the other one. I decided to make it with all black and red, bone, crystals and silver. She loves it and it made it all the way to the UK in one piece, safe and sound. Three cheers for the USPS! It is so delightful to talk to her, I love her accent. We were at the local Irish Pub having chicken wings (yes, there went the diet) so I had to cut it short sadly. Thanks for the call! You brightened my day!

    Thanks for creating such a special charm bracelet for me Linda. It's really beautiful. I enjoy wearing this bracelet most days. I think of you and your love of skulls and it makes me smile : )

Skull Appreciation Day, June 4 th , 2011 This Saturday, June 4 th is a celebration of cranial proportions that not that many people really know about. It is "Skull Appreciation Day". According to Wikipedia , Skull Appreciation Day is a result of an artist by the name of Noah Scalin who created an artistic skull a day for a year back in 2007. The website has dubbed June 4 th as the official International Skull-A-Day celebration. http://skulladay.blogspot.com The website http://smearedandsmudged.ning.com is hosting a blog hop in recognition of the day! So to all my fellow cranial admirers, be sure to show your appreciation for that wonderful thing that rests upon the top of your body. This is my first blog hop so hopefully by the time it is done, I will have learned how to post the links to the next site to visit! Skull jewelry is a custom order. Please inquire at linjmarino@gmail.com if interested. Terra Tori Alison Kelli Jane Alex Judi Kathi Steph Lisa Feddie Heather Kapr...

The World Traveler

This is a custom piece of jewelry I made for a wonderful woman named Beverly. She fell in love with my "Dream" bracelet and wanted a version for herself with some of the same components. She brought me some beads and charms that meant a lot to her from her travels around the world that she wanted included in the bracelet. They truly dictated the theme and color for the bracelet. I know the beautiful brass color and cinnabar and ruby colored stones will look especially beautiful on her. When you look at this bracelet pay close attention to the face beads. They are glass beads with faces hand painted on the inside of them. There are Swarovski crystals all over the bracelet. A woman cannot have enough "bling".I am adding three photo charms to the bracelet but I never like to put someone else's photograph on my blog without asking. I hope you enjoy viewing "The World Traveler". Thank you for viewing this masterpiece.

After the wedding

I am still trying to get caught up with things but I'm so glad the wedding is over with and now their lives together begin. It is amazing how much you have to do at the last minute. I was lucky that my daughter-in-law's family did all the planning but there were still a lot of things to be done. Sadly they had rain on the wedding day but it didn't dampen spirits. Everyone had a great time and they got some great outdoor photos in spite of the rain. One of my favorites is of them under an umbrella looking over their shoulder. It is so nice to see how happy my son is and how much having Rachel in his life means to him. I don't think there is any greater thing a mother can wish for than the happiness of her children. This was his second marriage but in many ways it was his first. I can see the love and respect they have for each other and nothing was taken for granted. They make a great couple and I am so proud of him for putting his faith in Rachel's hands and taking ...
