Al Gravitar Rodando

Good Morning,

6:17am here and having a big cup of coffee to avoid passing out and to be found sleeping under my desk… and I wanted to show my latest piece.

I  was asked for a drop, or my idea of a drop and this is the result…

 I Love packing so much it gives such a difference, the pretty thing about this one is that as soon as you open it , a light smell comes to you and well it was a present for someone’s best friend had to be special.

This is the close up of the butterfly I made:

 The back of it has a bit of  a texture, I honetsly like matte textures and oxidized pieces more than super shiny ones..

There’s a small plaque with her initials that hangs on the side of the neck …

 And this is for me! … because I love thumb rings and well I didnt have any and people I hardly ever make things for myself but this is beginning to change.

 3 stackable rings.. the idea is that with every piece of wire i got left I will make me a ring to keep stacking it sort of like a memory of the materials used..  i hammered a bit and was more open to do things with them since i wasnt hoping they’d be perfect and did them so quick but I do like them a lot..

And yes well this is what I’ve done this past weekend.. have some halfmade pieces which hopefully will be finished soon.. I get so happy by people liking things…

Actually I received this email from a person that bought this piece  online., here’s an extract of the mail…

“Thank you so much.  The necklace arrived today.  It’s beautiful!  I love it!  It’s the perfect gift for my sister, who is graduating from university.  She will graduate about a week before her 43rd birthday.  She is married, a mother of 3, works full time, and still managed to complete her degree!  I am very proud of her and the necklace you made embodies the sentiment I’d like to express to her on this occasion.  “How high could birds fly….  I’m sure they can’t fly up to the moon, but what if one tried”

Am a happy Nat.

This woman was sublime..

“I’m one of those regular weird people. “

“I’m a victim of my own insides. There was a time when I wanted to know everything. I read a lot. I guess you’d say I was pretty intellectual. It’s odd, I can’t remember when it changed. It used to make me very unhappy, all that feeling. I just didn’t know what to do with it. But now I’ve learned how to make feeling work for me. I’m full of emotion and I want a release, and if you’re on stage and if it’s really working and you’ve got the audience with you, it’s a oneness you feel. I’m into me, plus they’re into me, and everything comes together. You’re full of it. I don’t know, I just want to feel as much as I can, it’s what ’soul’ is all about.”

“When I sing, I feel like when you’re first in love. It’s more than sex. It’s that point two people can get to they call love, when you really touch someone for the first time, but it’s gigantic, multiplied by the whole audience. I feel chills. “

“I gotta go on doin’ it the way I see it…I got no choice but to take it like I see it. I’m here to have a party while I’m on this earth…I’m gettin’ it now, today. I don’t even know where I’m gonna be twenty years from now, so I’m just gonna keep on rockin’, cause if I start saving up bits and pieces of me…man, there ain’t gonna be nothing left for Janis.”

 So the other day I met my friend Alejandro..he asked me to make him a cross for daily use.. and this is what I made for him. It’s pretty much the first time I make something like this and I like it it’s basic ..and it looks good  

 It’s a very classic design and well he wants it in white gold, I made it in silver first to get his approval..

I got this amazing painting from my friend Carlos , he was recently in Guatemala.. and well I can’t say how much I love it.

It’s all surreal and I love the leafs making the hair, the details of  the eyes..It’s just too good  (Terrible picture by the way)

People have a tendency of giving me paintings.. I just give jewelry and chocolate and thank yous….

yeeee

On days I feel so good, I don’t even know what to write about.. things are going well I have a smile in my face.. surprises come and go and music flows around here…and days like this one just feels like sharing this with the world and see if one can make a change for at least the clerk sitting in the other desk ..

Hope this song brings as smile to your face as it does to me…

 People saving whales,
And giving your thanks to our seas,
My respect to the ones in the forest,
Standing up for our old trees

Them giving food to the hungry,
Hope to the needy,
Giving life to a baby,
Giving care for free,
‘Cause there is freedom around us,
We have everything we need,
And I will care for you,
‘Cause you care for me.
And we all have opinions,
Some of them get through,
But there’s better people,
With more good to do.
Good to do

And what I have could be my search
Or just some words
From my heart
My respect to the ones making changes
For all the lives they’ll give their all

Like
Giving food to the hungry,
Giving hope to the needy,
Giving life to a baby,
Giving care for free,
‘Cause there is freedom around us,
We have everything we need,
And I will care for you,
[Better People lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

‘Cause you care for me.
And we all have opinions,
Some of them get through,
But there’s better people,
With more good to do.
Good to Do

When our world it keeps spinning round and round it goes
Human nature keeps spreading its disease
And our children keep growing up with what they know
From what they teach and what they see
And it’s only a question of the time we have
And the lives that our children need
Cause they can only keep growing up with what they know
And what we teach, and what they see

Like,
Giving food to the hungry,
Hope to the needy,
Giving life to a baby,
Giving care for free,
‘Cause there is freedom around us,
We have everything we need,
And I will care for you,
‘Cause you care for me.
And we all have opinions,
Some of them get through,
But there’s better people,
With more good to do.

Good to do
Oooo good to do

I’d squish so many people …

Oceans would be bathtubs and Whales my bath toys.

And I would have a gigant pug as a loyal companion…

I’d be in another continent with one big jump…to visit friends I cant see…

I would carry supplies out of rich countries for the poor ones to create a balance..

I would knit the branches of the biggest trees..

I would tame the animals in Africa for my brother to play Safari..

…. I would make a ring out of the moon…

Too many things come to mind.. but well..
