When Paul Vanzella told me he was shooting with Sarah, I bought, begged and stole my way into that shoot. And who could blame me! I was there as a second model and helping out with styling but I couldn’t resist firing off a couple of snaps while Paul and Sarah were doing their thing.

from Aesop’s Fables A Rooster was scratching the ground in a farmyard in search of food for himself and his hens, when he happened to turn up a precious stone. “You may be a treasure to your proper owner,” he said, “but for me I would rather have a single barley corn than all the jewels in the world.” Moral: The value of an object is in the eye of the beholder.

History of Jewelry As decorative objects, jewelry is usually made of platinum, gold, silver and other precious metals often set with precious and semi precious stones. Jewelry is also made from various non-precious materials like glass, corals, wood, enamels, ceramics, bronze, copper, lead, gun metal, fedders and bone fragments. Since prehistoric times, jewelry has been worn by women and men on many parts of the body including the neck, head, wrists, waist, fingers, ankles, nose and ears. Archeology provides us with significant information on the jewelry of ancient times. For ancient Egyptians the most popular ornaments were signet rings, elbow bracelets, diadems, necklaces and bracelets made of stone or glass beads. The jewelry articles found in burial tombs provide us with vast information on the history of jewelry making in ancient times. The most important finding – Tutankhamen’s tomb discovered by Howard Carter – was filled with hundreds of priceless objects of egyptian art. In the burial tombs of Mesopotamia and the Near East, dated thousands of years BC, archeologists have discovered large quantities of jewelry made of gold and silver – rings, earrings, pendants, crowns and diadems. The similarities in design and style to Egyptian art, found in different parts of Mesopotamia and Persia, points to undeniable evidence of the interaction and trade between people in this part of the world.In the same period and until 400 BC Greek and Roman jewelry showing striking similarities – rings, earrings and necklaces were made using chains or wire links, with thin foil formed into leafs and ornaments. Stampato was often used as well as enamels. In later periods, mosaic was widely used in jewelry such as brooches, pins and bracelets. Gold coins connected together to form necklaces were common in Greece and Italy, as well as cameos of sea shells and corals. During the Etruscan period 700 and 500 BC, most of the jewelry was imported by Mediterranean merchants. Stampato articles were the main element which was later refined by Etruscan craftsmen to a higher degree.During the medieval period jewelry continued to exhibit the Roman artistic tradition with some regional variations. Articles made of precious and semi-precious metals were often inlaid with thin sliced colored gems, especially garnets. Enamels, the animal motif and the cloisonne tradition began to reappear in various parts of the continent. The most popular types of jewelry during this period were brooches, pendants and pins of religious motifs, mainly crosses inlaid with gems, enamels and pearls. Emblems increasingly became an important addition to a woman’s dress. Jewelry continued to evolve during the Renaissance period of the 15th-17th century and began to establish itself as one of the most important parts of fashionable clothing. The jewelry of this period is characterized by rich gamma and distinct classical architectural elements. Enamels, pearls and precious gems of different shapes began to play a much more important role in jewelry fashion. In the 17th and 18th Centuries, diamond jewelry became popular and jewelry began to express changing trends in fashion. The popularity of diamonds was on the rise thanks to the invention of a revolutionary new stone setting technique – the prong setting, which multiplies the brilliancy of a diamond. At the same time, along with precious metals other metals such as gun metal, cast iron, copper or melhior (german silver) were used in jewelry manufacturing. Engraving and stampato, along with gems and multicolor inlaid gold, were often used in mass production. Sets comprising a tiara, ring, earrings, and necklace or pendant became an important part of a woman’s outfit. At the end of the 19th century, jeweled accessories became very popular. Small snuffboxes, jewelry boxes, perfume bottles, watch cases, dresser accessories (combs, mirrors, brushes, scissors, etc., often finished with enamels), mother of pearl and egg-shell pieces were manufactured in Europe by artists such as Carl Fabergé. The beginning of the 20th century was characterized by the beginning of a new era in jewelry making. René Lalique, the French glass and jewelry designer, perfected the art nouveau movement first invented by Louis Comfort Tiffany. René Lalique’s stunning creations which featured nature themes using semiprecious gems, plick-ajour enamel, carved ivory and colored glass, are displayed in many museums throughout the world. At the same time, state of the art objects made of sterling silver began to emerge throughout Europe and the United States. In the 1920’s, Art Deco, another popular movement, was introduced in France. Art Deco incorporated geometric shapes not only in jewelry, but also in many aspects of decorative art.

“Ọṣun (or Oshun) in Yoruba african mythology, is a spirit-goddess (Orisha) who reigns over love, intimacy, beauty, wealth and diplomacy. She is worshipped also in Brazilian Candomblé Ketu, with the name spelled Oxum. / Oshun is beneficient and generous, and very kind. She does, however, have a horrific temper, though it is difficult to anger her. She is associated with the color yellow, metals gold and copper, and anything of beauty; her favorable day of the week is Saturday, and the number she is associated with is 5. / Her symbols are mirrors, jewelry, honey, and golden silks. / She is the Yoruba understanding of the cosmological forces of water, moisture, and attraction. Therefore she is omnipresent and omnipotent. / Oshun is the force of harmony. Harmony we see as beauty, feel as love, and experience as ecstasy.” An original cinema4D render.

Rio 2009 – as featured in Issue 57 of Advanced Photoshop Magazine! I went head to head with another artist, after being given the same basic model shot to work with. This was the outcome for me! You can see both of our work in this issue, along with a simplified tutorial on how I achieved this look. The reason this is called “Rio 2009” – is because of my original inspiration. Remember that classic 80’s album by Duran Duran called Rio, with the fantastic Patrick Nagel artwork on the cover? The raven haired beauty with the ‘cherry ice cream smile’ – who looked exotic and edgy, with that supermodel gleam? Well I wanted to update that picture with a fresh approach. No longer trapped in the graphic art lines of Nagel, Rio has broken free, and is a bit more exotic and fierce now that it is 2009! I love blending cultural styles and colors, and this piece was a real treat to work because of that!

‘Lady Australia’ is my first collaboration. Eugenia Bacon of ‘Myslewis’ is my Australian friend. I have known and admired her for amost two years now. When I first got on the web at greeting card universe I had only been on the computer for a couple of months and she kindly took pity on me :-D, [ I was making one snafu after another ] she lead me through the trials of learning Photoshop, [ advantage of having an Australian friend, I work at night and she was up to answer my questions no mather how silly they were ]. I have always loved her work. She is the first to encourage me to explore color and here are the results. I hope you like it. I have used her line drawing, ‘Venetian Style Mask’, you can see it as a birthday card here on Redbubble. / When I was decorating this, the song ‘Waltzing Matilda” kept running through my head. I had always heard the upbeat versions. I was looking on You-Tube and found this version. I warn you this will tug your tear ducts, I hadn’t really listened to the words before. / Waltzing Matilda FEATURED the Demensions Group / FEATURED the Fantastic Primitive Art Group / I am especially honored that this design has been featured twice. You have a Yank that thinks Australia, it’s people, and redbubble are pretty special. As you can tell I have been influenced by that dramatic sense of color that are a trademark of all the Australian artist that I have met on the web. I have put this design on a T-shirt now so you can not only look at it, you can wear it :-). Note: I just got a reproduction back, the color is outstanding. The brilliant color you see on screen is what you will get This is Eugenia’s ‘Venetian Style Mask’, I elongated it [an old fashion artist trick] then took quite a bit of liberty, but made sure I left the wonderful bones intact.

This is a variation on that wonderful little art deco piece from Dover Publications copyright free archives that I used for ‘Hollywood Nefertiti’. I watched an old Charlie Chan movie the other night and it got my imagination going. I’m an old ‘B’ movie junky. I love them. So Charlie Chan eat your heart out. This is a vamp in the old Hollywood tradition only this time around in living color. / I have gone back and looked up the music I was listening to when I was designing this. The music was on one of those info-commercials. I found them on ‘YouTube’, my son told me you can find anything on youtube. The name of the group is ‘The Twelve Girls Band’ a group of super beautiful very talented chinese musicians using traditional instruments. This selection doesn’ emphasize the traditional instruments but I think it captures the elegant feel I was trying for with the artwork. I’m a fan. / link below, take a listen The Twelve Girls Band FEATURED ‘Music Inspired Art Group’ / Top Ten-- ‘Signature Style’ challenge, Painted Ladies group For that bright flash of color or as a conversation piece in your decor use a small ‘Mounted Print’ on a plate easel, chic.

18×24 acrylic on canvas I painted this one for The Divine Feminine’s challenge “Loving Ladies”. This is my favorite goddess of Love, Lakshmi. This is not your traditional painting of Lakshmi, for instance, I didn’t give her 4 arms. But I think it captures her beauty and femininity. Lakshmi is also the goddess of beauty and wealth. She is kind of like the goddess of the law of attraction. In truth, Lakshmi teaches us to accept our beauty and to find true happiness in the realization of the abundance of our soul.
