Love Las Muertas Jewelry by Danielle Spires

Glass Crystal Cherry Earrings

"Big sparkley glass beads and silver leaves create these luminous Crystal Cherry Earrings. I love the idea of actually 'creating' the cherries, instead of using cherry charms straight out of a package."

"After making a pair for myself, people continually compliment me on their uniqueness and the beautiful way the light catches them, creating a luminous glow. Something you will never find with charms!" ($24 value)

I.M. PURE LIP BALM by Irena Murphy

Tea Tree Oil/Eucalyptus 100% Natural Lip Balm
"Tea tree is a miracle healing ingredient! It is a natural antiseptic , antibacterial and germicide that has been used to treat a variety of skin problems for centuries. This in combination with the soothing lipbalm base ingredients of jojoba oil, olive oil, grapeseed oil, apricot kernel oil, and vitamin E, was my first chapped lip cure!" ($4 value)

He was this tall drink of water, a real hot indie guy, muttonchops and all, but that shirt had to go. BUT ANYWAY, there are only 2 good things about Styx.

Day of the Dead Owl & My Aching Bones

It's been a while since I've written, but I'm excited to write a little post tonight! I'm excited about all the new jewelry I've made lately. I started noticing that all I ever create now is resin jewelry. So I'm going back to my roots and using a ton of fantastic, fabulous and phenomenal vintage charms & pendants.

This one might be my favorite so far. It includes a beautiful lucite pendant, a little mustard seed encased in a glass ball, a gold leaf, little brass key, rhinestone, a pearl deco pendant, acrylic green leaf and my fave, a PET Milk can! And all of these, including the chain, are 100% VINTAGE!




But I don't want to just talk about jewelry. I always want to give a bit of insight into my life and what gets my creative juices a flowin'. So when I sit down to write an article (my recent is from Cut Out + Keep), I have a couple things that I ALWAYS do.

THE CREATIVE PROCESS:

1. I heat up a cup of Chamomile tea with a drop of organic blackberry honey from Atlanta
2. Get in my favorite ultra-soft Puma pants + Gamma-Go bullet belt hoodie
3. Slide under a light grey Alpaca blanket from Dwell bedding
4. Cuddle up to Gucche (lil' guy on the right) on my 1960's Danish modern sofa.
5. Finally I get out the 'ol lappie and check emails, myspace, blogs, prjobslist.com, love las muertas, hellokittyhell.com, and then enter my favorite HGTV 'dream home' contest (i really want a giant beautiful free house that I could fill with beautiful vintage goodies).
6. Time to work, right? Ok I do a little shopping, fuck around on myspace, read more blogs, post on my blogs, post stuff on ebay, and generally waste time.
7. Then I put on a Netflix (my queue is 10 pages long) and get a snack (yogurt + apples, cheddar cheese popcorn, walnuts in the shell, and red peppers w/ cream cheese, but not all at once!!), and I think I'm ready to write.
8. Now I write and let it flow. Then I reread it. Edit. Reread. Edit. Fuck around online. Reread. Add/Remove & edit. Then I go to sleep, wake up and reread.

You can see why I love the creative process. ;)
