The beauty of
Fall Colors shine in the completed Twisted
Sistah Choker made by my adorable friend
Sandy Navarro. Sandy & I met last February at a
Gilded Life Art Event called
HeArt of Communion (go
HERE to see that post). We were instant
soul mates (HERE)! She admired the jewelry I was wearing at that event & I told her I learned the technique from my friend & mentor
Diana Frey in a class I had taken from her.
I then took another class from Diana called Twisted Sistah which she taught at ADORN ME 2010 (which is a jewelry only Art Event held in Houston TX.). Again, Sandy was mesmerized by the beauty of the class. She contacted Diana & went to take the class in Diana's beautiful studio. She did this in early July just before I came out to California for
Kim Caldwell's event Les Sierens. Sandy & I were planning to meet for dinner the night of my arrival in Manhattan Beach & she wanted to show me her beautiful Twisted
Sistah Creation so, she stayed up
LATE a couple of nights to get it finished before our dinner.
IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO WORTH IT!!!
Sandy is a beautiful red head! She always looks for images of red heads & I can tell you there are not a lot of those beauties to be found. Diana had the perfect image for her centerpiece for this necklace. So Sandy chose Diana''s image & made her amazing bezel.
SANDY IS A BLING GIRL & had to add those special vintage rhinestone pieces to make it her piece
POP! 
And here's my
BEAUTIFUL FRIEND showing off her
MASTERPIECE at dinner that night. I'd be smiling from ear to ear too my friend.
YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB & I'm sure Diana is very proud of you!!!! By the way, Sandy is coming back to Texas to join me at another Gilded Life Event in October & to spend the week with me to shop around the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I CAN'T WAIT!!!! Have a wonderful week my friends.
