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.     

THINKING OF HOME

 

Sterling Silver Aqua Blue Chalcedony Handmade Dangle Orchid Earrings

A little fun fact about me: I grew up on an Orchid farm.  So every time I see an orchid, I think of home. In my teens I was constantly surrounded by the beauty of the majestic flower known as the Orchid. It's funny, when you're constantly surrounded by such beauty, you take it for granted.  Being away for so many years has given me an appreciation for the flower.  When I recently stumbled upon some orchid components, I just had to make something with them.

  

This is a pair of sterling silver earrings feature wire wrapped Aqua blue Chalcedony beads paired with a fresh water pearl.  Each earring features a orchid flower.  Simple and elegant.

You can add these orchids to your garden of jewels by picking them up in my etsy shop.  You can visit them shop at www.LuvAlisa.com.

CREATIVE KITTY!

Pink Kitty Cat Crystal Lampwork Handmade Necklace

I have a tendency to buy cute beads then figure out what to do with them. This piece is a prime example of my horrible habit of doing just that. Several years ago I found these cute kitty glass beads that I absolutely fell in love with. I purchased some and then stashed them away for a rainy day because I couldn't think of a creative way to use them. I stumbled across the beads recently and decided I needed to change that, thus this necklace was born.

This cute necklace features a glass kitty resembling Hello Kitty dangling in the center of an affirmation pendant accented by crystals and a fresh water pearl.  If you wish to adopt this little cute kitty, she's currently available in my etsy shop that 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.  

SIMPLY LOVE....

Please check out my friends non-profit at Samoalyn.org. 

With the little time I did have, I was able to come up with a couple of new pieces for my shop. I have been staring at this little "love" connector bead for weeks and finally came up with this simple bronze bracelet.  The bracelet features blue and crystal beads meshed in with bronze chain.  The bracelet secures with a lobster clasp.  If you're interested in purchasing this bracelet it's currently for sale in my etsy shop, which can be found at LuvAlisa.com.
