Handmade sterling silver hoop earrings with gold an golden freshwater pearls
You had to know I'd find my way here! Me being the Ascending Butterfly and all! Very nice! I love that it's bold, I love the colors and the way the focus is centered on very much on her face. It's somehow bold and serene at the same time, very much…
Lovely!
These earrings are amazing!

- Wink Artisans is a team by Christina and Sol and together they design eclectic, award-winning, handmade jewelry and other crafts in their bohemian North Park studio in San Diego.
While they work with varied materials such as precious metals, glass, beads, wood, fabric, found objects, leather, etc.,their work is quite different. Christina works with beads and designs jewelry and home decor items in glass and is known for her pearl and Swarovski crystal designs. Sol, a photographer in a former life, is more into metals and image transfers. She is known for her Latino-themed items such as Day of the Dead, Lady Guadalupe, Corazones, and Fridalicious.
In 2008 Christina's piece Turquoise Delight won the second place on Bead Jewelry; Gems, Mineral & Jewelry Exhibit, 2008 San Diego County Fair and most recently, Sol's jewelry designs cleaned house by bringing home three awards: Day of the Dead Necklace got first place in the Fabrication All Metals Amateur category, Roses earrings got second place in the Student Jewelry Class category and Reina Azteca Earrings got third place in the Exhibitor's Best of Show Amateur category at the 2009 San Diego County Fair; Gems, Minerals & Jewelry Exhibit.

Wink Artesans,
In March 2010, there will be a series of events in Mexico City, Mexico, Los Angeles, California, and other cities, meant to be a ritual of mourning for the femicides in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua: Art as a pathway of opposition and resistance to violence.
We invite you to be part of this initiative of art activism. Below is the link to the blog we have dedicated to this and where you will find the Call for Entries. This invitation is open to all individuals, groups, organizations, artists and activists. The events in March 2010 will include awareness raising creative workshops, intervention actions, plays and performances and the exhibition of the art work received through the call for entries and the resulting art from the workshops. http://unaoracionporjuarez.blogspot.com/
For those who do not live in Mexico City or Los Angeles metropolitan areas, we invite you to organize your own community activity during the same month of March, 2010. It could be an Art Exhibit, a book discussion, a movie screening, a poetry reading, etc. We ask you to include the original title of this event “A Prayer for Juarez,” and to send us your schedule, and later on, photos and documentation, to be included in the blog.
To include your event, or for any kind of issue related, please write to us:
In the US: aprayerforjuarez@gmail.com
In Mexico: unaoracionporjuarez@gmail.com
Creating protest art transcends culture and gender. We are united in a larger community of like-minds and humanitarian goals. We thank you in advance for your dedication and your prayers for the women of Ciudad Juarez. NI UNA MAS!
PLEASE FORWARD THIS DATA TO PEOPLE YOU KNOW
WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING

I must feel safe and secure enough to express my art in a way that will not be suppressed by my environment; that is when I feel safe, secure; when I feel as though I can produce anything. Memories, peace of mind and strong emotions also help. My ar…
