Models & Fashion on Etsy
Here's a compilation of things I love on Etsy composed into a Treasury list, which is somewhat like viewing a magazine page with all of my loved things on 1 page.....available at 1 place!
I am busy designing and creating my new line of Leather Belts which will be ruffled and somewhat like a bustle.
They are coming out beautifully and I should be launching them along with photos to my etsy shop by week's end.
In the meantime, here is a new necklace design featured recently in my "Flowers Collection".

Mano Bello designs now in limited production
Here in fabulous and luxurious goatskin. Unmatchable softness and texture. Rare in red. I have found that finding the right skins for the "Flowers Collection" is a difficult and time consuming task. Going overseas is a must for quality and color. I am getting ready to incorporate a "Volume" for limited productions of my leather wrap obi belts as a result. Each belt will be numbered and available in limited quantities.

Being featured on Etsy
Until I figure out why I can't upload photos to my blog right now.....I will at least provide some entertainment for your eyes by providing links to colorful "Treasuries" featured on Etsy. These are handpicked items researched and chosen by designers with a theme...usually a color theme. It's a nice way to see some beautiful creations from a handful of designers at one time. Also an honor to be one of the chosen!
Enjoy the view!

Coming up roses!
Sometimes while deep into the creative process of a certain line, the re making of various repeat items will sometimes evolve into a new idea, which becomes the next design.
Such happened here while carefully sculpting and stitching leather roses and flowers into various wrist cuffs, brooches and rings, it came to me that a few different cuts with my scissors could provide a whole different look to these blooms. Pleased with the results, a new line is born.
I love leather and I love flowers.

Using antique glass or rhinestone buttons, combined with leather that is hand sculpted to ruffle into "petals", these rose pins,cuffs and rings have become one of my best loved lines this fall. Seasonless for wear through Fall, Winter, Spring or Summer. Pin these brooches on your purse, scarf ,shawl, headband or blouse for an instant finishing touch to whatever you're wearing. Available at www.manobello.com .

Anthropology invite
I see the makings of a job position here. Growing from the ground up is a process which sometimes requires jumping over the edge without any time for thought. Things can change quickly with 1 order. Suddenly I'm no longer designing & creating, but, writing emails, proposals, answering requests for a brochure, responding to comments left by admirers, pricing new items, logging time & materials, and the list goes on.
My heart lies in the designing & creating.
