Indie Scene: Lets run with Scissors in our hands!

Hello Lovelys =]



Ive been in a very positive mood lately. Ive always been one for positivity. I always look on the brighter sides of things. My bf reminded me of this today. I suppose i was having such a stressful day he had to remind me of my own beliefs. lol But im glad becuase sometimes we tend to stray from our own paths.

Ive been in such a wonderful mood lately, with a strong name is N.E.E.T. =] Im soo happy i found this magazine. exploring new things. Something that has been a great love of mine is the whole Indie Scene in todays society. I love the passion and artistic nature to those who utilize craft to do what they love. Im speaking more strongly towards fashion here tho. I have come across soo many wonderful and amazing Indie Magazines. One of my personal favorites which has been slowly establishing itself.

It has given me passage to a vast number of eurpoe and national sites that sell amazing pieces of jewelry. One necklace which inspired me to seek out other interesting jewelry was a door necklace i had found on a trip up to Sedona when we stopped by a thrift store next to a small restaurant we had eaten lunch at. This is my all time favorite necklace! I use to leave the door open as a joke with my friends to say i was open to love and find the right person for me..I misplaced it somewhere in my room earlier this year and around that time i ended up finding my bf whom ive been with for nearly 6 months and still going strong. Funny how things work out sometimes. =] But yes i just loved the detail used in this design.

On other indie type sites there are such creative pieces of jewelry. Another of my favorites is a heart locket with a dove which is featured on Hannah Zakari site. If your like me you love your lockets, but the new twist with the dove adds to the entire classic design =]

Another site called Waxing Poetic features a beautiful and interesting necklace with a "Best Friend" theme. I love the unique twist of it. The two hands reaching out to one another is a perfect definition for best friends.

My VERYYY FAVORITE necklace is won over by The Yellow Goat Etsy shop =] They have the most creative and sweet necklace i have come across. It is that of a matchbox which opens to reveal two matches nestled together. It is appropriately called, "The Perfect Match" =] I would love to call myself an owner of this marvelous necklace but it is priced at a steep $108 for the brass and an even steeper $175 for the silver necklace! Many may not be willing to pay this price but those with an eye for nostalgic and interesting items will certainly shell out the cash! I know i usre would if i could! =]

These are only a few of the amazing necklaces I have come across in this amazing world of Indie and self owned businesses. I have plenty of otehr like the sweet "I Love You" postcard, or the "C'est la Vie" necklace. So many beautiful and unique designs have been created and Ihope to discover many more! Hope this blog provided a different bit of fashion Jewelry then your use to. I love my accessories and I wanted to share some Ive come across lately. =]

With Hugs & Kisses, HELLO ANNE

& The Beauty Continues to Pour!

I've felt extremely out of sorts lately...i have felt to caged up and hidden from this world around me. I think i was so frustrated in my own mind wanting to create this world around me that I wont be able to have until i can move to it and experience the rest of the world. I realized i cant change anything around me to be like what i want in my future...but i CAN see the beauty in what i have now. I dont want to keep overlooking the lovely parts of this world around now because in time i wont be in this same place. I want to make the msot of my life...i want to express my feelings and emotions through my artwork. I kept thinking that this "artistic block" id hit was something i couldnt really control..but had to wait until it ended itself. I realized...thats completely wrong!

I am the the only one who can come out of this rutt! I dont want to feel like ive had a lack of inspiration anymore. I miss feeling like the moment i have inspiration i can just express it! I kept driving by beautiful, interesting, and thought provoking places all over Phoenix and I took mental notes of each to remember I wanted to go shoot there or utilize it in a painting. I didnt realize i was sut filing them away! I want to get out there and snap pictures of the world that i find so interesting. I missed this feeling....i missed feeling like i could express my emotions not simply in words but in photographs, and drawings, or paintings.

Ive wasted away a good portion of this Arizona Summer making mental notes waiting for things to happen...im done..ive got 2 1/2 weeks left to make the most of it!

My boyfriend actually wants me to photograph him =] Im excited...hes one of my biggest inspirations! He works his butt off and hes torn down every wall that has ever stood in his way. Hes the strongest person i know and Id love to capture this person he is in my own work. I have been with him for nearly 6 months now..we fell for each other the moment we met..and well i suppose ill save that lovely story for another post. Hes my fairytale Prince Charming =]

I just want to do him proud because Art is my passion. It is the one thing i am good at and i want to better my work with more emotional and real things!

I live with Passion everyday..and i never ever wanna forget that again.

XOXO--Hello Anne

"What if i built a raft? To sail away on this river? Where would it lead? Would the current sweep me away to my wildest dreams? If i sail away will you put your hand in mine and sail into the sunset with me? Could our love be enough to hide the risks that may come at the other end?

Will you hold your hand in mine and sail into the unknown?"
