I found the moss agate stones and loved the color and shape. I wanted to show the stone as the focus. I then liked the idea of showing the semi precious stone in a regal manner. I came up with a collar idea, which gives it an antique yet cultural feel. I also used silver wire to wrap stones along with silver chain and cut carnelian beads as accent. And earrings to match

Fashion
My favorite resale shop in Chicago. Is Savvy Seconds and 1st. Here I can bring in the clothes I no longer want and either get cash or if I get credit I get more bang for my buck and basically trade my unwanted wears for wanted and I have scored some incredible finds!!! Everything from new with tags to vintage, designer, jewelry, purses, shoes, glasses. You name it. Every week there is something new!!!! Love it!!!!
Faux painting
This faux finish I painted on an older piece of furniture. Originally it was a blonde wood color and had some scratches. So Ta DA!!!! Slap some paint or a faux finish and it can take on a new look!!! From distressed to antique. Also can look like a Million Bucks!!!! No need to get rid of something you may have that no longer works, just give it a facelift and you have a new piece of furniture.
Interior Design
Here is some of my interior design work.
When the building was gutted I went back in and used Vintage doors . I also found a combination of art work that was garage finds and vintage collectables, along with new influences. I also had the walls ragged so they had more of a stone look.
