Fearless..

I draw strength from the ocean.

This was taken 7 days before Xmas, 2009. It was 77 degrees. I miss St. Louis, but I'm glad to be home.

a throwback....

The Holidays Are In Effeck Mode...

...and I am feeling it. I sent out (well, my fiancee did. ladies, a tip.. get a good supportive man) 10 orders this morning!!

I've got some new jewelry "peaces" to post...

I was also commissioned by sister of mine to create for her an unconventional engagement ring, using certain elements she'd requested.

I hope she likes it.








The Akua'ba fertility charm ... Vintage findings to complete the look.

I LOOOOVE MAKING NEW "PEACES!!!"

arm cuffs w/ chain... a beautiful, subtle way to bring attention to our feminine curves...
sterling silver chain, vintage bangles



a handwrapped, faceted candy jade ring custom made in YOUR size :)
this ring rises almost 1" off of the hand... it's made to be seen



gorgeous onyx chunks, pewter spacers and a toggle clasp. the onyx has tons of movement.
some chunks stand straight up, some lay flat, some alternate in position...

i love jewelry that appears to be alive.



a view of the gorgeous chunks of pure black onyx.




an updated photo of my "swords n' feathers" 'peace'
...each time I make them, they are different... i love art.. no piece is ever the same.
these are about 4.5" in length, asymmetrical, lightweight and funky!



an upper arm cuff w/ sterling silver chain and vintage bangle.
this can also be worn around your wrist.



a brass version of my arm cuff w/ vintage brass chain and African brass
barrel beads.



tiger/bronze feathers, brass ankh, African brass, turquoise, hand-wrapped coral
and gold ear wires. i absolutely LOVE this pair of earrings...

I Am Not My Shortcomings...

Try not to see yourself through the eyes of others...

All Chained Up..

This is 1 of my most detailed "peaces" to date.

It can be worn over a tube top, as I have it worn here, a camisole, a tank top (wife), a sweater, or nothing at all to show your man a great time :) (giggles)

It can be ordered from my etsy site, or by contacting me personally: photosbypeace@gmail.com

It's All I Do...

Got My Groove Back.....

• A chunky singapore chain boasts a HUGE black, faceted glass bead and cowrie shell
• 1 loooooooooong sterling silver earring w/ sterling, silver and gunmetal chain, jade and a pewter Om symbol
• A lovely vintage brooch that I reinvented w/ brass Makeda face, ankh, small locket and vintage chain

All of these "peaces" can be purchased here ... or by emailing me, Camille, the creator @ photosbypeace@gmail.com

I am so thankful I get to wake up everyday and create... I am truly blessed.

The Science.

"If you can control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his action. When you determine what a man shall think you do not have to concern yourself about what he will do. If you make a man feel that he is inferior, you do not have to compel him to accept an inferior status, for he will seek it himself. If you make a man think that he is justly an outcast, you do not have to order him to the back door. He will go without being told; and if there is no back door, his very nature will demand one."

— Carter G. Woodson (The Mis-Education of the Negro)

Cali....

What can I say.. it's treating me well.

It's been a hectic past few weeks. We packed our place on our own and sent it to the shipper... all in the rain.

We were DETERMINED to get outta St. Louis.

Something about that city... it's a void. It sucks you in and you forget the rest of the world exists. Not good for perspective, growth OR business.

Since being in California, the man and I have given ourselves no downtime. I have shopped, and will continue to shop, several boutiques; my man already has DJ gigs, and I have a couple of trunk shows in the works in L.A.

My style is changing, as are my influences.

My jewelry will be featured in many shoots soon... and the list goes on and on.

Constant forward movement.

And remember, what others do is meaningless. It should not affect how you live your life. Stay focused.

Great news to come.. stay tuned.
