Mukado Jewelry



So I now have two pieces in a jewelry gallery in Wast Vancouver, Mukado Jewelry. I like the pieces chosen, I hope they sell. Finally, a gallery in Vancouver is representing my work. To0 view this gallery click here.

My work is the only vintage stuff she has, everything else in the gallery is ultra-modern and sleek. I think that may work to my advantage, being unique is a good ting. I also make one of a kind pieces, nothing mass-produced. We will see! I am optimistic!

Vintage Venus Jewelry turns one year old


Today is the anniversary of my business. It has been a great long year, and I have sold a bunch of stuff. Recently a person in the Mexico City gallery circuit started to distribute my work, and I am making pieces that I like a lot more, more crafted, more mysterious. I am also using a lot more semiprecious stones, real pearls and lots of swarovski crystals. I can't wait to see what this year will bring in terms of inspiration and creation. Wearable art!

Mysterious pieces




My latest pieces are more bold and mysterious than ever before, and this piece is my favorite. It is crafted carefully and has a beautiful doll of a slightly bigger size with a defined face. I have also used ribbons and wire, and lots of Swarovski crystal. I like the contrast of the cherry red and the green, and the doll's arms are branch coral.

Visit from Safi


My friend Safi came today to buy a present for a friend of hers that is turning 30, and she picked this beautiful piece. I was happy to see it go with her.

New work






This is some of my new work I have been making since coming back from Mexico. It is more romantic and elaborate than before, I think. I am using a bunch of Swarovski crystals and freshwater pearls. I will have a show soon!

Sales


Just posted some new items in my shop, and I sold this strange brooch today to a lady in France. My shop is doing well, and now I have an agent in Mexico who represents my work. I like this work a lot, it is creative and I love sourcing for my pieces. New stuff to come!

Jewelry in Mexico

I haven't written in such a long time. Well, I am in Mexico, and I came here for a gallery show. My surreal series with the German dolls was very well received here, as if Mexicans found weird jewelry more appealing. I am happy with the reception, and will post some images soon.

Naufusito and "Sun People"



I will be featured in a Venezuelan magazine with this photos of my dear friend Naufus and his piece "Sun People" necklace.

Great fits



Some times people don't choose their pieces; the pieces choose them!

Venetian baroque mixed media assamblages






Naufus said my new series with the dolls was Venetian, because of the crystal and the white figures. A little baroque, but contemporary. Some more pieces to view.

Cosmic child/ Inner child






Better pictures of these works made with antique bisque and porcelain dolls from Germany, un-earthed near the toy factory in Thuringia. These dolls were made in the 1890s and buried, and now people are selling them online. I am integrating them to my works and like them very much. Pushing the medium on jewelry a bit, I am very inspired to create a new series.
