BOW ADDICTION

It's been a little since I came to my blog. It was simply because I was crafting bows! Yes and i love it! Despite the fact that is very complicated doing very small bows well, I like the results!


I've been quite busy, Ok I've been keeping myself busy! Summer vacations are sometimes too short and sometimes too long... I finaly found the right balance!

Answer to some questions!

HI!
I received some questions from people who like my art and wanted me to explain the name that I use. My name is Loly (short way for Lolyta) and Quetzal is not my last name either my middle name. Im mexican and I tought that having a mexican name will be representative of who I am. Xochiquetzal is an aztec  Godess for art and artists, she has a lot of roles but that is the one that inspired me. Second, a Quetzal is a magnificient bird from Guatemala, that the aztecs consedered as sacred. I tried to mix my name with some cultural background and I came up with Lolyquetzal (Xochiquetzal). There is a picture from a quetzal I took it from an photograph here is his link: http://s291.photobucket.com/albums/ll319/benchilada/Animals/

Also I've been intrested in art since im young. I just love to create stuff when I see something pretty I think it will be a challenge if I can do it too and if I can't well I just admire the person who did it and try something else!

That's for me tonight, I go to take a walk with wonderfull Balthazar the most amazing dog in the planet!

Penny Jewelry and strawberry necklace

I created a strawberry bracelet that became my sister's dog Frida necklace. She is such a professionnal model! I made it with polymer clay. Never tried that material before but i just love it! It's like playing with modeling paste like a child!

I also edited some pictures of my new jewelry made with pennies. You can see them at www.lolyquetzal.etsy.com

I am working a lot right now on something new that came to my mind when I was procrastinating again... I love working with copper. It's sunday, and I will go visit my parents with Balthazar (my westie)... He will play all day in the garden. :)
