hey all! I just wanted to post a new photo and update. I have been getting ready for a recent art show I had. GREAT SUCCESS! photos to come. :-) until then....




I love the vibrant colors of these designs.n i know its getting cold...but im thinking, what an addition to brighten up winter drab. It reminds me of the BRISK and CRISPY feeling that winter has when the sky is just as vibrant blue as you can imagine. almost a COOL MINTY feeling... funny since these earrings remind some of lifesavers candy.  I love how the wiring on the earrings finishes off with a bow. kinda of like a christmas present. So even though some might suggest the colors to cool for the season, I challenge you to brighten up your wardrobe and warm the spirit with some of rubys slippers custom designs. ;-)

everythings just beachy....



This pendant and earring set is inpired by my recent time at the beach in Florida. I would go to the beach at around 6:00 a.m. to watch the sunrise and pick through the abundance of shells on the shore. This is prime time for shell hunting!  Isnt it neat how nature provided a coordinating set of shells for this one of a kind set!  I picture this being worn in the fall/winter season; paired with a black ensemble. Perect for an evening out.

Perfect Imperfection

these were and accidental success! thats usually how it happens right? i hammered these sterling circles, and did not like the off balance essence they produced. one day, in a light mood and craving a freedom, i wanted to use the shells. I did not think that the lack of perfection in the 'circles' would be accepted by customers, so I used them for myself.

Since then, more people have asked me to reproduce these than i could imagine!

Not only was this a creative success; but it was a life lesson. Often times I feel as though we see all of our imperfections and dont consider ourselves "balanced" or "flawless" enough for others. feeling unworthy we tend to sell ourselves short; and not put ourselves out there. 

Life Lesson: God showed me that as others saw the earrings as amazing and desireable (not noticing the 'flaws' I did). This is how others see us and most of all how he ALWAYS sees us. as his perfect children. 

Thank you: ...for letting me share with you, my personal growth as well as my gift of design. I share these things; because I feel as though  we all desire to grow and be seen as special and inspiring. And I find Joy in sharing these epiphanies of my own with others. even if its just meant for one person to receive; its worth it.  I know they are 'just earrings" but the are my way of learning some simple lessons. 

Thats why I think its so neat that we are all different

anywhoo; they are fun and free earrings; regardless of the depth you get from them.
