vintage bruja wearable art

vintage bruja wearable art

i say wearable art, because no matter what idea i have for a jewelry piece, i get lost in the process, and the piece becomes it's own thing. over the years i have learned to just appreciate the process more than the outcome, because each piece takes on a life of it's own. i say, i'm going to make an 18 in necklace.... i literally ended up with the picture below...

anyway, at the grand opening of a local brick and mortar store, bauhausu, long beach, ca that is housing vintage bruja designs and my husbands handmade leather goods, cerdafied leather! it was an a great feeling of accomplishment! clients were asking questions about our jewelry line, leather, and illustrations. we were able to talk about the process it takes to go from hide to goods. i also was asked were i get my inspiration for jewelry and illustrations, and...i had stage fright!!! hehehe. 

i don't know when it's going to come on...but when stage fright happens, it can be debilitating for about 2 seconds for the average person, but in my world...it's...just way too long. after my eternity has passed...i was able to get my thought out and speak.

it's so embarrassing sometimes...and then my anxiety sweats take a toll for another 2 minutes....and then i can keep it moving!! crazy right? all that in a matter of 5 minutes of reality time.
