"Live Out Loud" with RELICS & ARTIFACTS® Ambassador Chrissy Colón

When you hear "Relics & Artifacts", what pops into your mind?  Victorian?  Roman?  Antique?  Classical?  I'm sure many of these descriptors are a common thread when one takes a look at the blank canvas a resin craft blank is.  I'm sure people think of timeless jewelry pieces worthy of becoming family heirlooms.  I often think along these lines as well.  That is, until I got a wild hair and decided to do something LOUD.

Remember this work in progress photo?  Bright happy colors, finger painting, and a vague direction is all I had.  I just knew that i wanted to do something bold, bright, modern.  I wanted to make a piece of jewelry that reflected my personality. 

After looking at this piece, another thought occurred to me.  I am so inspired by my fellow Ambassadors.  There is a little bit of them inside this piece as well because they have become a very integral part of my creative personality.

 I sometimes focus so hard on what I need to do, that I often forget to do what I want to do.  I sometimes forget to live and to live out loud.  I hope this inspired piece reminds me to do just that.
