Time for a change...

We are changing things up a bit!! Agape Gifts will have various ways to view our work both in a piece of the day and a shot of a work day - or works in the working! The piece of the day will be a brief feature image on facebook, twitter, google plus and linked-in, however if you wish to learn more about the inspiration or materials of the piece the Ag blog is where I share the personal side of the work. The shot of the day will be generated from Instragram - so join that to see works in the working. Please feel free to check out these other avenues: www.facebook.com/AgapeGifts and or www.instagram.com/agapegifts/

of course we are on twitter, google plus and pinterest and don't forget our website  www.AgapeGifts.org

Enjoy!!

Hear the water?

Enjoy this conventional full rosary depicts the ocean waves... love the colors!

As I was waiting for the sun to rise I was fixated on the waves... the mixture of color and swirl. Sometime greens, blues and even pearly white. I took that color combination and wrapped it up into a rosary... again bringing the person back to a 'happy' place. I know for many listening to the crash and lapping of the water is quite soothing... I have grown to appreciate it's amazing-ness.
The stones used to capture that moment are faux pearls, green fiberglass, serpentine, amazonite (one of my all time favs) and moss agate. When opened up it looks beautiful. I have fun with my bead-scapes asking people what they see or feel... this one was a winner hands down... W A  T  E  R !!! Yeah!

St. Michael defend us!

Enjoy this sterling silver filled family bracelet - each panel holding a special message. This piece took some time in the making. Lots of brain storming to figure out the best images, words to represent the family - including the wearer, the mom, wife... It is always a pleasure to design such a cherished piece. St. Michael pray for us!

Elegantly put...

More colorful words of joy in the wine topper... reminding you to celebrate not commiserate! All hand painted parts... stone clay on top with cork clay on the bottom portion. Enjoy!

I just have to vent...

I get so frustrated trying to keep up with social media AND create pieces... I wish I could find the magic combination. Unfortunately, social media is a must (so I am told) to keep current with the virtual population... whom I love and I am grateful for... but my dilemma? It takes serious time away from my design and creation work. Regrettably, (not really) God only gave me 24 hours like the rest of the world in a human day and I do need sleep.... otherwise I get a migraine and then I lose more days... *sigh* Soooo, please forgive me if I miss a day or check out the other social media outlets where they may have an art piece that the blog missed.

Ok - I guess I am done and I need to get back to my social media commitments and then onto the day and the life of  Laura...
