it's this

It wasn't that easy to guess after all.

I didn't post the answer yesterday to give you more time to guess, also because I got a box of tools that caught my attention for a long time and because we were celebrating Diwali so I spent a lot of time looking at the flames and laughing.

Next week a new mystery.

What's this?

Hello.  Who is going to guess what this is?   This week is really easy to get it right.

Last week they guessed at Lirio y Lili.    I will post the answer tomorrow.

I think in forms of coral

I am drawing a ring. A friend of mine is planning on making a special gift ;) and when he saw the little seeds ring at my Etsy shop, he asked me to design a ring in that style.

While we were talking I showed him the Neptune and Neptune 2 rings and we decided it would be interesting to mix the seeds and Neptune styles for the new design.

So I got back to the object that once inspired me to see what it would say to me now:

Soft forms shaped by water and time. This cavity fills the inner structure with air.

Another interesting space. This could be the place to set a stone or a pearl.

This orifice is a window to the inner structure. Negative space, air, light and shadows.

And this light mole inside the cavity. I would like to get this effect.

Object of inspiration: pieces of coral I gathered on the beach at El Calao / Colombia

We'll see what comes out of this.

it's this

TOMATO

From the Nahuatl Xitomatl: plump thing with navel.

Those seeds like ships from another world suspended inside the red gel. Walls made of miniature globules: rich red, yellow and white, shining like crystal sand on a crimson planet.

Next week.... another challenge...

What's this?

What's this? Guess... This one is easy, something very familiar, something you probably see every day. Close your eyes and remember where have you seen this.

Last week there was no What's this?. I was opening one online store, and then another and then preparing for the store on my own web page and so time went by too fast.

Do you already know what this is? The answer comes tomorrow.

For now,  happy Friday. I'll take a walk.

Oh tumn!

Lirio Jewelry opens an Etsy Store!

Lirio is pleased to present the new online shop at Etsy!!!

               < to my shop!

I will be listing more jewelry in the following days so please keep on visiting the store or subscribe to the shop feed (last button on the right).

Opening a store with the Etsy community is something I have been wanting to do for a while to allow Lirio a wider exposure. It will also be fun to participate in forums and virtual labs with other fellow goldsmiths there.

          

To celebrate the inauguration of the store shipping will be free to any country until the 29th of October!

And very soon: the special Christmas Collection!

             < to my store!!!

So, did you like the shop? Any comments? What kind of jewelry would you like to find at my store for Christmas?

it's this

 

Frozen peas under a lamp light. They made me think of pollen grains.

Well, at Lirio y Lili they almost got the right answer.

A new image riddle next week.

When did this happen?!

How come the summer is over?!

If these begonias are still blooming on my balcony

and I want to bake again one of this with those magic berries

and I am waiting for another like this to bloom

and this little friend at the river was having such a good time!

Ahhhh, the warm perfumed mornings

the refreshing breakfasts

the slow walks with him

through wild gardens

and violet lakes

I will miss the sunsets with crickets singing

and the nights of magic.
