"Creating art is my passion, and I create it daily.
I want to express my voice through my art,
in hopes that one day, I can make some small difference.
I show you what I see and what I feel in what I create,
and hope that my art becomes the story of my life.
That is what drives me, and inspires me.
~ SIMONE YVETTE
NEWS
SOMETHING NEW.... 21 NOV 09
In the neverending pursuit of trying to learn new techniques and skills, I've decided to try making jewellery.
I'm trying to create pieces that either take the idea of recycling or re-using into consideration, or are nature-inspired.
Recycling:
* rolled paper beads
* found objects
* vintage jewellery
Nature-inspired:
* shell
* gum nuts
* wood beads
* coral
* crystals and semi-precious
stones.
I hope you like them!
These are available to buy
on my ETSY page.
