I am trying to show them on a model, and since I don&#8217;t have a  model in hand, I volunteered and my bro stood behind the camera.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In one of my many surfing trips in Frickr, I stumbled upon <strong>karmologyclinic</strong><strong>&#8216;s</strong> photostream &#8211; quite a few images there to browse.  I  liked her work and photographic style a lot .  So I decided I wanted to learn a bit more about <strong>karmologyclinic</strong>.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; *</p>
<p>1. <strong>Please tell me a bit about yourself, like name, location, some personal stuff.</strong></p>
<p>My name is Cristina and I live in a quiet place out of Athens with my boyfriend, our cats and our garden. I&#8217;ve studied stage and costume design at the Fine Arts. Then later I studied Photography too. Learning and mastering new skills is something disturbingly easy for me. So, now among other things, I design and sew clothing and accessories for my online shop. I never liked mass-produced items and I could never find what I wanted to wear in shops, so one day I started making them myself. Never stopped ever since (and it&#8217;s been almost ten years&#8230;) In my free time I like to crochet, knit, read, pet my cats and bicycle.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 343px"><img title="Vintage Kimono Scarf" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3547/3457472902_bf86d13802.jpg" alt="" width="333" height="500" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Vintage Kimono Scarf</p></div>
<p>2. <strong>What is your art  &amp; how would you describe your style?</strong></p>
<p>I make clothing, accessories and small pieces of material jewelry. I&#8217;m always driven by the beauty of the materials. I like minimalism but I&#8217;m chaotic by nature. I prefer simple and minimal lines with a touch of color and lots of handmade finishes. Many of my items are one of a kind because I don&#8217;t like to repeat ideas.</p>
<p>3. <strong>3 things that you mostly care about in this world</strong></p>
<p>I care about the people I love and my cats, who I consider part of the family. I want people everywhere to live free with dignity and pride. I want the wellbeing of all animals.</p>
<p>4. <strong>What inspires you?</strong></p>
<p>Materials. I always start from a material and go forward to what it wants to become. Rarely the opposite. That&#8217;s why shopping for materials is very important for me, time consuming and I always search for the best qualities.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img title="Summer Green Skirt" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3500/3457463802_0a6350d30d.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Summer Green Skirt</p></div>
<p>5. <strong>What made you decide to become an artist?</strong></p>
<p>Given the fact that I do not consider myself an artist but a creative person, I think I never had the choice. It was just an inner need to create, either in words, images, clothes, jewelry.</p>
<p>6. <strong>What is your favourite material and why?</strong></p>
<p>I enjoy working with soft materials, meaning fabric, yarn and fiber. I like the potential they have to form 3D objects with simple stitches and folds. I guess that&#8217;s why I like origami too <img src='http://www.kikidicreations.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>7. <strong>Could you tell me 5 words that describe you best?</strong></p>
<p>hyperactive, absent-minded, easily bored, curious, quiet</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img title="Fluffy Crochet Necklace" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3651/3554676662_1fac2e389f.jpg" alt="Fluffy Crochet Necklace" width="500" height="333" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Fluffy Crochet Necklace</p></div>
<p>8. <strong>Favourite movie?</strong></p>
<p>Persona by Ingmar Bergman</p>
<p>9. <strong>Favourite food, cuisine &amp; dish?</strong></p>
<p>I like food from all around the world, exotic flavors and I&#8217;m always eager to try new stuff. I like indonesian, Indian and chinese food, the homemade stuff of course. My favourite must be sweet and sour chicken with pineapple chunks in it! I also like ice cream, but who doesn&#8217;t?</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 343px"><img title="Reversible handbag" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3655/3500919329_d1733b3263.jpg" alt="Reversible handbag made of heavyweight cotton. Perfect for summer!" width="333" height="500" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Reversible handbag made of heavyweight cotton.</p></div>
<p>10) <strong>Who is your favourite artist?</strong></p>
<p>I have favourite artists from many art fields. If I had to say just one name that clarifies the way I see the world, I&#8217;d say the <a href="http://www.masters-of-fine-art-photography.com/02/artphotogallery/photographers/harry_callahan_01.html" target="_blank">Harry Callahan</a>, the photographer.</p>

<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Μου αρεσει να κοιταω φωτογραφιες στο <a href="http://www.flickr.com/" target="_blank">Flickr</a> οταν εχω ελευθερο χρονο, και το κανω πολυ συχνα, σε μια απο αυτες τις φορες  λοιπον, επεσα πανω στις φωτογραφιες της <strong>karmologyclinic</strong>. Εμεινα αρκετη ωρα και κοιτουσα τα αλμπουμ &#8211; εχει πολλες φωτο! &#8211; μου αρεσε πολυ η δουλεια της αλλα και οι φωτογραφιες της. Και ετσι ζητησα να μαθω λιγα περισσοτερα&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">1. <strong>Πες μου καποια πραγματα για σενα, γενικα για την ζωη σου</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Με λένε Χριστίνα και μένω σε ένα ήσυχο μέρος αρκετά έξω από την Αθήνα, με τις γάτες και τον κήπο μας. Σπούδασα Σκηνογραφία στην Σχολή Καλών Τεχνών Θεσ/νικης. Αργότερα αποφάσια να τελειώσω και το τμήμα Φωτογραφίας του ΤΕΙ Αθηνών. Το να μαθαίνω και να τελειοποιώ τεχνικές είναι κάτι εξαιρετικά εύκολο για μένα. Ετσι, τώρα μεταξή άλλων, σχεδιάζω και ράβω ρούχα και αξεσουάρ για τον κατάστημα μου στο internet. Ποτέ δεν μου άρεσαν τα προϊόντα που παράγονται μαζικά και επίσης ποτέ δεν μπορούσα να βρω να αγοράσω αυτά που ονειρευόμουν. Γι&#8217;αυτούς τους δύο λόγους ξεκίνησα να φτιάχνω τα δικά μου ρούχα και από τότε δεν έχω σταματήσει (κι ας έχουν περάσει δέκα χρόνια). Στον ελεύθερο χρόνο μου μου αρέσει να πλέκω, να διαβάζω, να ασχολούμαι με τις γάτες μου και να κανω ποδήλατο.</span></p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 343px"><img title="Denim Blue Hat" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3579/3454147146_efaecfd1bd.jpg" alt="Denim-like blue linen and cotton" width="333" height="500" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Denim-like blue linen and cotton</p></div>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">2. <strong>Ποια ειναι η τεχνη σου, και ποιο το στυλ σου πανω σε αυτην?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Φτιάχνω ρούχα, αξεσουάρ και λίγα κοσμήματα από ύφασμα/μαλλί. Αυτό που με τραβάει κάθε φορά είναι η ομορφιά των υλικών. Μου αρέσει ο μινιμαλισμός αλλά είμαι εκ φύσεως χαοτική. Προτιμώ τις απλές λιτές γραμμές συνδυασμένες με χρώμα και χειροποίητες λεπτομέρειες. Οι περισσότερες δημιουργίες μου είναι μοναδικές, επειδή δεν μου αρέσει να επαναλαμβάνω τις ιδέες μου. Εξάλλου, έχω συνέχεια καινούργιες.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">3. <strong>3 πραγματα που νοιαζεσαι περισσοτερο σ&#8217; αυτον το κοσμο</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Για τους ανθρώπους που αγαπώ και για τις γατες μου που τις θεωρω μέλη της οικογενειας. Θα ήθελα όλοι οι άνθρωποι να ζουν ελεύθεροι με αξιοπρέπεια και υπερηφάνεια. Και ευημερία για όλα τα ζώα.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">4. <strong>Τι ειναι αυτο που σε εμπνεει?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Οι πρωτες ύλες. Τις περισσότερες φορές ξεκινάω από ένα υλικό που μου αρέσει και που μου “λέει”τι θέλει να γίνει. Πολύ σπάνια γίνεται το αντίθετο. Γι&#8217;αυτό και η προμήθεια υλικών για μένα είναι πολύ σημαντική και θέλει πολύ χρόνο, ψάχνω πάντα για τα καλύτερα υλικά.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">5. <strong>Πως αποφασισες να να ασχοληθεις με την τεχνη σου?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Δεν μπορώ να ονομάσω τον εαυτό μου καλλιτέχνη, αλλά δημιουργικό άνθρωπο. Ποτέ δεν είχα την επιλογή, ήταν πάντα μια ανάγκη για δημιουργία είτε με λόγια, εικόνες, υφασμα, χαντρες, φιλμ&#8230;</span></p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 343px"><img title="Blue Patchwork Linen Skirt" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3652/3457458468_3ec28d5660.jpg" alt="Blue Patchwork Linen Skirt" width="333" height="500" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Blue Patchwork Linen Skirt</p></div>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">6. <strong>Ποια τα αγαπημενα σου υλικα και γιατι?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Μου αρέσει να δουλέυω με απαλά υλικά, ύφασμα και μαλλί. Διασκεδάζω με την ικανότητα τους να μεταμορφωθούν σε τρισδιάστατα αντικείμενα με την απλή βοήθεια μιας ραφής ή ενός διπλώματος. Γι&#8217; αυτό μου αρέσει και το origami άλλωστε.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">7. <strong>Περιγραψε μου την Χριστινα με 5 λεξεις</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">υπερδραστήρια, αφηρημένη, βαριέμαι εύκολα, περίεργη, ήσυχη</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">8. <strong>Αγαπημενη ταινια?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Η Περσόνα του Ινγκμαρ Μπεργκμαν.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">9. <strong>Αγαπημενο φαγητο/κουζινα?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Μου αρεσουν οι τοπικές και διεθνείς κουζίνες από όλον τον κόσμο και είμαι πάντα προθυμη να δοκιμάσω νέες γεύσεις. Ξεχωρίζω τις γεύσεις από την Ινδονησία, την Ινδία και φυσικά από την Κίνα. Προτιμώ να βίσκω συνταγές και να τις φτιάχνω μόνη μου, το αγαπημένο μου φαγητό είναι γλυκόξινο κοτόπουλο με κομματάκια ανανα. Και φυσικά το παγωτό!</span></p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 343px"><img title="Vintage Kimono Scarf" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3658/3456651135_fda30a85d3.jpg" alt="Vintage Kimono Scarf" width="333" height="500" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Vintage Kimono Scarf</p></div>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">10. <strong>Και τελος, αγαπημενος καλλιτεχνης?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Η λίστα με τους αγαπημένους μου καλλιτέχνες είνι πολύ μεγάλη γιατί έχω ασχοληθεί κατά καιρούς και διαφορετικές τέχνες. Αλλά αν πρέπει να αναφέρω έναν μόνο καλλιτέχνη που να εμπεριέχει τον τρόπο που αντιλαμβάνομαι τον κόσμο, τότε αυτός θα ήτανε ο φωτογράφος, Harry Callahan.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Presenting   <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-93" title="dtlogo" src="http://www.kikidicreations.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dtlogo.jpg" alt="dtlogo" width="199" height="91" /> a contemporary group of 3 talented women, offering an alternative to conventional thinking on jewellery design. As they say &#8220;<em>Our pieces pass through manual sensitivity and are innovative in technique, based on our long experience with ceramics and jewellery.</em>&#8220;<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-95" title="joia-a-la-terra" src="http://www.kikidicreations.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/joia-a-la-terra.jpg" alt="joia-a-la-terra" width="500" height="353" /></p>
<p><strong>Roberta Ferreira</strong>, <strong>Laura Jener</strong> &amp; <strong>Bárbara Sendino</strong> are the body and soul of &#8216;<strong>dterra</strong>&#8216;. In 2001 Roberta and Laura founded &#8216;Three Workshop&#8217;, a space where they develop their respective crafts, ceramics and jewellery. Over time they decide to merge the two disciplines and start experimenting in the field of jewellery, precious metals combined with ceramics. In 2007  they  took advantage of the incorporation of Bárbara Sendino also a  jewellery artist, to renew their  image and make themselves known outside the local area.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-97" title="5_ramo" src="http://www.kikidicreations.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/5_ramo.jpg" alt="5_ramo" width="450" height="450" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is my 1st interview in this blog, and I am very excited about showcasing <strong>Marina&#8217;s Lampropoulou</strong> work (aka <strong>tothemetal</strong>).</p>
<p>So this is Marina&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>1. Please tell me a bit about yourself, like name, location, some personal stuff.</strong></p>
<p>My name is Marina Lampropoulou. I have been living in the beautiful city of Thessaloniki for 5 years. I moved here from Athens with my better half and our two lovely dogs! I adore animals and nature, I like to cook and I admit I am addicted to the internet!</p>
<p><strong>2. What is your art? &amp; how would you describe your style?</strong></p>
<p>I am jewelry maker/designer. I studied metalsmithing and jewelry design in Thessaloniki. I work mainly with silver often combined with titanium and various other materials.<br />
I would describe my style as minimalistic. Simple organic and geometric forms intrigue me and I try to adapt them into my work.</p>
<p><strong>3. 3 things that you mostly care about in this world.</strong></p>
<p>My family and my friends, who have stood by me over the years, through thick and thin. Our planet and all the creatures on it. Recycle, don’t waste energy and water, respect animals and be kind to them.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><img title="Wing Earrings by Marina Lampropoulou" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3004/2453447047_d3d88b0a31.jpg?v=0" alt="I have a set of these myself, really elegant design" width="500" height="483" /><p class="wp-caption-text">I have a set of these myself, really elegant design</p></div>
<p><strong>4. What inspires you?</strong></p>
<p>I am fascinated by nature. Ever since I moved to Thessaloniki I have had the chance to be closer to it and observe it. Its perfection is miraculous, from the tiniest insect to the tallest tree. It is pure beauty.<br />
I am also inspired by architecture and industrial design. From Antonio Gaudi to Frank Gehry and from Le Corbusier and Alvar Aalto to Zaha Hadid and Tadao Ando to name but a few of my favorite architects.</p>
<p><strong>5. What made you decide to become an artist?</strong></p>
<p>It actually came as a surprise to me; I didn’t always know I would become an artist. I studied accounting and worked for a period of three years as an assistant accountant. Along the way I discovered I wasn’t satisfied with the nature of the work and its pressure. So after some soul searching and a lot of support by my better half and my family, I decided to resign from my job and study metalsmithing.</p>
<p><strong>6. What is your favorite material and why?</strong></p>
<p>At the moment I would have to say my favorite material is silver. I have experimented a great deal with it and I find its possibilities numerous.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Silver Cuff" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2350/2476716296_6ef61d1403.jpg?v=0" alt="" width="500" height="388" /></p>
<p><strong>7. Could you tell me 5 words that describe you best?</strong></p>
<p>It is very difficult to describe oneself in only 5 words because ones personality is very complex but I’ll give it a shot! I am a very caring person, always considering other people’s feelings, sensitive and kind, optimistic but I tend to keep to myself.</p>
<p><strong>8. Favorite movie?</strong></p>
<p>The Fountain by Darren Aronofsky</p>
<p><strong>9. Favorite food, cuisine &amp; dish?</strong></p>
<p>My favorite food is spaghetti by far! All kinds of it with any kind or topping! I am a big fan of the Greek cuisine and my favorite dish is stuffed tomatoes and peppers with rice, cooked the Cretan way!</p>
<p><strong>10. Who is your favorite artist?</strong></p>
<p>There are so many artists I admire but my all time favorite artist is Gustav Klimt. Gustav Klimt’s work was love at first site!</p>

<p><span style="color: #483d8b;"><strong>1. Πες μου καποια πραγματα για σενα, γενικα για την ζωη σου?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Λέγομαι  Μαρίνα Λαμπροπούλου. Ζω στην όμορφη Θεσσαλονίκη τα τελευταία 5 χρόνια. Μετακόμισα εδώ από την Αθήνα με τον σύντροφό μου και τα δυο πανέμορφα σκυλιά μας! Λατρεύω τη φύση και τα ζώα, απολαμβάνω τη μαγειρική και ομολογώ πως είμαι εθισμένη στο internet!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;"><strong>2. Ποια ειναι η τεχνη σου, και ποιο το στυλ σου πανω σε αυτην?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Σχεδιάζω και κατασκευάζω κοσμήματα. Σπούδασα αργυροχρυσοχοΐα και σχέδιο κοσμήματος στη Θεσσαλονίκη. Στη δουλειά μου χρησιμοποιώ κυρίως ασήμι σε συνδυασμό με τιτάνιο και διάφορα άλλα υλικά.<br />
Το στυλ της δουλειάς μου είναι μινιμαλιστικό.  Με ελκύουν οι απλές οργανικές και γεωμετρικές φόρμες τις οποίες προσπαθώ να προσαρμόζω στα σχέδια μου.</span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Geometric necklace" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3131/3487678071_c627b3c64d.jpg?v=0" alt="" width="500" height="465" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;"><strong>3. 3 πραγματα που νοιαζεσαι περισσοτερο</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Η οικογένειά μου και οι φίλοι μου, που είναι κοντά μου στα καλά και στα άσχημα. Ο πλανήτης μας και όλα τα πλάσματα που τον κατοικούν. Ανακυκλώστε, μην σπαταλάτε νερό και ενέργεια, σεβαστείτε τα ζώα και δείξτε τους αγάπη.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;"><strong>4. Τι ειναι αυτο που σε εμπνεει πανω στην δουλεια σου?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Με συναρπάζει η φύση. Από τότε που μετακόμισα στην Θεσσαλονίκη είχα την ευκαιρία να βρεθώ κοντά της και να την παρατηρήσω. Από το πιο μικροσκοπικό έντομο στο ψηλότερο δέντρο η τελειότητα της είναι μοναδική. Είναι η απόλυτη ομορφιά.<br />
Πηγή έμπνευσής μου αποτελεί ακόμη η αρχιτεκτονική, καθώς και ο βιομηχανικός σχεδιασμός.  Μερίκοι από τους αρχιτέκτονες που θαυμάζω είναι οι: Antonio Gaudi, Frank Gehry, Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto, Zaha Hadid, Tadao Andο.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;"><strong>5. Πως αποφασισες να γινεις σχεδιαστρια κοσμηματων?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Ήταν έκπληξη για εμένα η ενασχόληση με το κόσμημα. Σπούδασα λογιστική και εργάστηκα ως βοηθός λογιστή για διάστημα τριών ετών.  Κατά τη διάρκεια λοιπόν αυτών των τριών ετών συνειδητοποίησα ότι η φύση και η πίεση της συγκεκριμένης δουλειάς δεν με ευχαριστούσε. Έτσι, μετά από αρκετή εσωτερική αναζήτηση και με την υποστήριξη του συντρόφου μου και της οικογένειάς μου, αποφάσισα να παραιτηθώ από την θέση μου και ξεκίνησα τις σπουδές μου στην αργυροχρυσοχοΐα.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;"><strong>6. Ποια τα αγαπημενα σου υλικα και γιατι?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Αγαπημένο μου υλικό αυτή την περίοδο είναι το ασήμι. Έχω πειραματιστεί αρκετά με το ασήμι και οι δυνατότητες που προσφέρει σαν υλικό είναι πάρα πολλές.</span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Oval earrings" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3407130634_bea7f51e6b.jpg?v=0" alt="" width="500" height="432" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;"><strong>7. Περιγραψε μου την Μαρινα με 5 λεξεις</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Είναι πολύ δύσκολο να περιγράψει κανείς τον εαυτό του μόνο με 5 λέξεις, γιατί θεωρώ ότι η προσωπικότητα του καθενός είναι πολυσύνθετη. Παρόλα αυτά θα το προσπαθήσω! Ενδιαφέρομαι πολύ για τους άλλους, πάντα λαμβάνω υπόψη μου τα συναισθήματά των γύρω μου, είμαι ευαίσθητη και ευγενική, αισιόδοξη αλλά ιδιαίτερα κλειστός χαρακτήρας.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;"><strong>8. Αγαπημενη ταινια?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Πηγή ζωής του Darren Aronofsky</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;"><strong>9. Αγαπημενο φαγητο/κουζινα?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Αγαπημένο μου φαγητό είναι μακράν τα μακαρόνια! Όλα τα είδη με οποιαδήποτε σάλτσα! Είμαι λάτρης της ελληνικής κουζίνας και από τα αγαπημένα μου πιάτα είναι τα γεμιστά, όπως τα μαγειρεύουν στην Κρήτη!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;"><strong>10. Και τελος, αγαπημενος καλλιτεχνης?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #483d8b;">Είναι πάρα πολλοί οι καλλιτέχνες που θαυμάζω, αλλά από τους πιο αγαπημένους είναι ο Gustav Klimt. Τα έργα του Gustav Klimt ήταν για μένα έρωτας με την πρώτη ματιά!</span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Purple flower brooch" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3441/3233266817_9aa4231e5c.jpg?v=0" alt="" width="500" height="405" /></p>

<p>I have been working on these lovelies for a week now, I have used the last two turquoise cabochons from my stash. I love turquoise in the summer, its like the sea and the sky all in one. Reminds me of vacations in the Greek islands.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-73" title="rustic turquoise earrings" src="http://www.kikidicreations.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/rustic_turquoise_earrings02.jpg" alt="rustic turquoise earrings" width="500" height="417" /></p>
<p>I gave them a short of rustic feel and oxidized them for an antiqued look. I will upload this set into my shops in the next couple of days.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s  so amazing when you wake up on Saturday morning, you have no work and the weather is absolutely perfect for a walk.  So I drove into the centre, traffic wasn&#8217;t so bad, I even found car parking easily.
