The Passion of our Christ...

Great Friday earrings... I just love this beautiful interaction w Mary and Jesus - the pieta! The blue crystals hanging below the image representing the tears of our Blessed Mother. Just think Mary holds us this way when we are down and out... and Jesus's death is also a warm hug to wipe away all of our transgressioin. Mary pray for us, Jesus on mercy on us. These earrings are available - check out other Christmas ideas at our website. www.AgapeGifts.org

Angels watching over me

Brass Angel image earrings. This is one of my favorite angel pictures. I like the settle imagery on the metal - almost ghost like. From far away it looks like scrolls but when examing it close up you definitely see the angel's face. Angels watching over whoever wears them. This piece is available - check out our website for other gift giving ideas - perfect for Christmas! www.Agapegifts.org

Sweet Mother and Child

A fun whimsical pair of earrings - owned by a joyful prolife teacher! I like the color on the metal medallion, it is drawn out with the orange-reddish beads on top with the twisted wire encompassing Mary and Jesus. Another great way to settle evangelizing!

Great Anniversary present

Good Monday Morning to the Ag Blog family! I pray everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving - I did! Great to have family together! Especially those you haven't seen in a while! I will finish the month (the last week) with earrings then switch up even though there are more earrings to see - I am sure you are bored with just earrings, yes I know they are all different but I will try to be more creative in December with show and tell! :) These earrings are made w/ polymer and the image of St. Raphael, who I found out recently is the patron saint of marriages. They are post backing with a twist. Wonderful reminder to ask for intercession of St. Raphael for your marriage and or the marriage of others. You never know who God will put in your path to question your earrings, they just might need those prayers!St. Raphael pray for us. This piece is available.

Tender Earring... ones that hug!

A wonderful proclamation of our devotion to Our sweet Lord. Blessed Mother, Mary of the Streets, one of my favorite images... Baby Jesus trusting his restful sleep in her arms.

PRETTY!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! THANK GOD FOR OUR FREEDOM! Sterling silver hand cut & textured w blue Swarovski earrings. This design fasnicated me because the earrings are reverisable depending on which ear you wear it on. I am really focusing on making my pieces beautiful on either side. There truly is nothing like sterling silver - the weight, the shiny reflection after polishing and buffing, the way the texture bits into the silver... all a delight!! This piece is available.

engineering earrings?

I was very excited when these earrings fell into place - literally. I was placing different pieces of metal to get a feel for the design and poof - inspiration occurred! I am very excited about how I executed the design. Just to let you in a little secret... I enjoy the problem solving on how to execute the design as much as creating it. It is exhilarating to make a vision come to life with new engineering ideas. This piece is available. If you would like this piece, a similar piece, or any unique piece of jewelry; contact us!

A rosary bracelet w a twist!

A two sided rosary bracelet! I am very intriqued in making pieces two sided for versatility. This is a hand stampled multi metal rosary with different colorful dots on one side and metal sheen on the other. It has an adjustable clasp to fit any wrist and adorn any outfit. Each circle was individually cut out (inside and out!), fun piece to wear - with a great message, in case anyone asks. So what do you think of this art wear piece?

GOOD SUNNY MORNING AG Blog FAMILY! We are gearing up for this Monday morning... lots to do after this weekend's event and moving to prepare for Thanksgiving weekend at Sacred Heart of the Hills (Nov 24 & 25) We will reveal completely all the new pieces that were made for this upcoming year; so all the pieces for the next 70+ posts will be new pieces unseen (except for the guests that came this weekend). Please feel free to comment, let me know what you like and what you don't; what you would like to see or any suggestions... beecccaaause I will be getting ready to start the new line for next year! I have several ideas brewing but always looking for new inspirations and directions! I am hoping to really celebrate our ten year mark by coloring our charity donation heart to reach our $10,000 goal - making the heart completely RED filled to the top! (check the website www.AgapeGifts.org) Again - thanks to numerous amount of people that have generously supported us with their time, talent and treasure! Especially my family. I hope in the beginning of the year to compile a historical timeline of the past ten years of our artwear... it should be interesting to see the progression of design and material. THANK YOUR FOR YOUR CONTINUED PRAYERS FOR OUR MINISTRY! May God bless you with a glorious day!

HERE IS ANOTHER PEEK...

Can you figure out what this is?

TAKE A LOOK!

The top item is a zipper pull - reminding us of our daily mercy given to us by Our Lord. The second piece... well, what do you think?

Get the full picture... and then some

The top image is a three part necklace that can be worn single strand, double strand or triple strand... as well as wear as bracelets - they can be interchanged and the Blessed Mother can be worn on any of the strands switching out for another focal piece. The owner is thrilled with this commissioned piece! I was too! So can you figure out the image on the second close up?

Get a glimspe!

Guess how all the pieces will meld together on the top one... What is that second piece? hmmm

Sneak Peek!!

The top piece is a metal mixture riveted together to make a scarf ring. Fun and kinda steam punky... all hand cut and puncture. Guess the second piece - give you a hint... it six things in one!!!
