UNICORN!

Bronze Unicorn Wire Wrapped Rose Quartz Handmade Necklace

So after being under the weather for a week, I finally had a chance to sit down this past weekend and get a little creative. 

When I was a young girl I discovered the majestic animal called the Unicorn. I used to let my imagination run away and always wanted to own one.  I was very disappointed when I learned they didn't exist.  I told my parents I would settle for a horse but that didn't happen either.  Anyway, I know I can't possibly be the only person who loved unicorns and thus I decided to incorporate the mythical animal into my jewelry.  This handmade necklace features a wire wrapped rose quartz pendant as well as a bronze colored unicorn charm accented by a crystal. Very cute. You can actually own this unicorn.  He's currently available in my etsy shop that can be found at www.LuvAlisa.com.

I also wanted to add I'm offering 10% off in my shop until November 16th, but the coupon code is only available on the shop's facebook page.  Click LIKE on facebook and get the code. The facebook page can be found here: www.Facebook.com/LuvAlisa. 

TRUE LOVE

Bronze Rose Quartz Wire Wrapped Pendant with Cross Charm Handmade Necklace

"There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." John 15:13 

The recent new of the events that unfolded in Libya on 9/11/2012 have been tugging on my heart  lately and it drew me back to the bible verse John 15:13.  The ultimate price one can pay is to lay down his life. Marinating on this verse made me think of the cross. I decided to create a piece symbolizing the ultimate love.

Rose Quartz is often thought of as the stone of love. Since it symbolizes love, I decided to use it as the focal point of this necklace. I wire wrapped the rose quartz stone and paired it with a small cross charm.  The cross symbolizes the ultimate price Jesus paid by laying down his life.  Jesus paid a debt he did now owe because he loved us (sinners) so much.  It truly is the ultimate sacrifice.  

This necklace is currently available in my etsy shop which can be found at www.LuvAlisa.com.     

THINK PINK!!

Pink Wire Wrapped Rose Quartz Pendant with Dove Handmade Necklace 

October is breast cancer awareness month, so I've decided to feature a pink item from my shop.  

When I sat down on Sunday to create new items for my shop like I usually do, I ran into a little thing I call beaders block. Nothing I did was really working to my liking. Anyone else suffer from it?  I did manage to create this beautiful piece.  The pink in the rose quartz just called to me. Paired the wire wrapped pink rose quartz stone with a cute silver bird charm and this necklace was born. 

This handmade necklace is currently up for grabs in my etsy shop.  Feel free to visit the shop at www.LuvAlisa.com.  

You are Special...

 Bronze Carnelian & Crystal Bird Cross Handmade Necklace

"Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?" (Matthew 6:26)

Yesterday I sat and sat staring at an array of beads on my bead board trying to figure out how to create something unique.  I felt as if I had an artistic block, trying to think of someone special to make. I picked up this bird pendant and something lead me to pair it with a cross. The result was this simple bird necklace being born.  

When I took a step back and studied what I had created the bible verse Matthew 6:26 just jumped into my thoughts. Always remember that you are special in God's eyes. No matter how insignificant you feel, you truly do matter. 

Aside from the bird and the cross charm, this necklace also features orange carnelian and crystal beads. Simple beauty. It is currently for sale in my etsy shop which can be found at LuvAlisa.com. 

Angel Wings....

ANGEL WINGS MOONSTONE EARRINGS

ANGEL WINGS....

Sitting here watching the Endeavour Shuttle on TV make it's final flight around Southern California Piggy backed on top a 747 is making me feel a little teary eyed this morning.  Such a beautiful sight in the sky and just knowing this is the last flight for this machine makes everything so bittersweet. 

As I watch this flight live on TV, I thought about which piece of mine to share on my blog today and it was clear to me that it has to be these cute Angel Wing moonstone Earrings are fitting for the mood. The space shuttle reminds me of a little angel in the sky. These simple earrings are bronze in tone and feature a simple pure white rainbow moonstone gemstone.  Something fun to spice up any jewelry collection. :)

Just a little bit about me

So I’ve never really blogged before. I’ve decided to give it a try and take the plunge tonight. Hoping I’ll be able to stick with it because I know this can get time consuming and time is very precious these days.  Anyway, just created this blog to bring brand awareness to my little etsy shop called Luv Alisa, which can be found directly on the web at www.LuvAlisa.com.  I make handmade jewelry, so feel free to stop by and check it out. I try to update it weekly. 

A little bit about me: I’m in my 30s.  Born and raised in the great state of Hawaii but now living in a crazy city called Los Angeles. I have been making jewelry only for a couple of years but mainly just for friends. I have never taken a formal jewelry making class in my life. I basically taught myself. I have no idea why I started down this path, but I’m enjoying it.

Things I like: chocolate, dogs and ice cream! My favorite music group when I was 12 was the New Kids on the Block, and all I can say is that some things never change!  :)

God truly inspires me and I believe that is often reflected in the jewelry pieces I create.  When I sit down each week to make my jewelry pieces, I’m often listening to a church sermon on my Harvest iphone app.  It’s one of those apps I have absolutely grown to love! 

I enjoy creating pretty things that bring smiles and warm feelings for others.  Each of my pieces are created with LOVE in mind.  

Anyway, that’s me in a nutshell.  I will try my best to keep this blog updated. Thank you for dropping by and taking the time to read this.

Luv,

Alisa
