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...



a different view!

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

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.


Growth...

When I first started my company, my beautiful customers began to send me photos of themselves wearing my art. It took me a minute to realize why they did it. It was because what I created for them made them feel so good, so proud, they wanted to share it with the world.

Beautiful.

Check out Candace, Tosh, Christi and Onika, all rockin' one (or more) of my "peace."

Peace STL...



our going away party...



so many folks came through to send us off with good energy and well wishes..



Rockwell Knuckles, Tef Poe, Corey Black, Family Affair, Teresa Jenee, Vandalyzm, Blackspade, and so many others performed.



All for that white guy in the middle. In the 10 years he spent in STL, I'm not sure there was a DJ who supported and loved local hip hop music more than he did.



I love him and I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful potna in crime.



What a night.
