I met Johanna at Bazaar Spark last year when I was perusing all the fellow artists that had been involved in Spark Con. For those that haven’t been, if you are interested in seeing what local artists are doing and getting a chance to talk to them, check it out every fall at Sparkcon! I remember as I was walking, I realized that I am a ABSOLUTE TERRIBLE judge of accessorizing my pieces(and my excuse is every time is ‘OH It’s ALL ABOUT THE GARMENT, WHO NEEDS JEWELRY’) and I need to find somebody that can direct me towards something. Now when I buy jewelry, I don’t even really consider it jewelry buying. More like Art shopping. I end up going and getting the most elaborate looking pieces that I have no intention of ever wearing, and I’d rather put it on the wall or put it in a glass case cause it just looks so pretty. I Adore Johanna’s work. Everything is a work of art, and if you check out her Etsy Store, she even has romantic stories attached to each piece(I dream of being a princess/faerie everyday, I need that constant encouragement you know). She describes her studio as creating “Eco-Conscious Statement Jewelry” where she scourers for vintage jewelry pieces and accessorieses to remodel into a new piece. I think it’s brilliant and Johanna’s exquisite eye for attention and detail really comes through in each piece. Please check out her Etsy site and her Blog, and if you want more background on her, check out this spotlight she got on Etsy! Hope to work with her soon, It would really be a honor.

Adri is sexy ^_~ Adriana used to be on Fusion with me back in college(eew, the way I just said that made me feel old). I always enjoy doing pieces more for show, costumes, dance etc. I feel like you just get to work with a wider range of mediums. I linked up with Mambo Dinamico through Adriana last year and was thrilled with working with Betto and the crew. What can I say, I will always have a soft spot for my latin side(nope, don’t have a single drop of latin blood in me, but I can dream I’m back in Buenos Aires anyday). I enjoy working with their group because they give me a lot of creative freedom. The first dance I had to design for was for what Betto called “The Break Up” Dance(a.k.a the night after a one night stand, oh me oh my). Here are some in-progress shots I recently found on my computer. Thanks Betto for giving a chance to work with them! I can’t wait to work on more. For those interesting in Salsa/Mambo Classes in the Raleigh/Durham Area please go check out Mambo Dinamico’s site!
