Illusions...

change is in the mind.
a new year coming means nothing.

my 2009 was crackin', my 2010 will be, too.
know why? cuz i will continue my present momentum AND increase it.

ya'll don't get it.

you have to get down and get dirty.
making change? glamorous, the shit aint.

it takes constant work and constant building off of mistakes.
it takes having great people around you, and having faith in yourself.

...and ya don't stop.



faux moss agate handwrapped into brass wire, by me.
the chain is vintage brass and hangs 24" in length.

there are also matching earrings! please check my boutique



another view of the beautiful necklace showcasing how the
pendant catches the light.




after skimming through "hip hop ya don't stop," i felt inspired
to create my version of chunky cuban link earrings.
these lightweight links are connected to sterling silver ear hooks.
3" in length and not nearly as heavy as they appear.





there are 7 links in total.

thank you.. and you can always find more of my art here.
