The beauty of Italy's countryside.


Yesterday I had a wonderful afternoon with my boyfriend Francesco. We decided to make some photos of our wheat fields before it is gathered this weekend. It was a perfect occasion also to test my new camera. Of course I could not make only wheat photos, I got wild and did a lot of macro shooting. I would like to show you the beauty I have a fortune to view every day. When I see this photos I remember every time how really fortunate I am to live and see such a beauty!
After photo shooting we decided to go just where our eyes see and we got to a nice Pizzeria with little kittens and a flying dog (you will see why)!!! :-) It was just a perfect day! 

Hope you will enjoy as much as me this my first experience photos!























The flying dooog! It just stood there on the roof....  :D A final touch for our great evening!

A new logo and its concept, a new blog and just WELOCME!



Hello everyone! This is my first post in this new blog so I think I should present myself a little bit.
My name is Jelena, I am 29 and I am a jewelry designer, an opera singer and a student from Latvia, but living, studying and working in Italy for a long time already.
Italy is a country of culture, art, music, fashion and worldwide known brands. It is so inspiring to live and create here! Inspirational ideas are all over in the air! 
Architecture, nature, beautiful animals, rare paintings, ancient cities like Rome and Pompei... All you need here is just bring with you your inspirational diary and draw... 

In my creations I love to use seed beads, precious and semiprecious stones, Swarovski crystals, real Italian leather, metals, lace, fossils and many other rare and unusual materials. 

You can find all my jewelry creations in my ETSY shop named Oh My Muse Jewelry. And today I would like to explain you my shop's and logo's concept, because just like this blog also my logo is new! 


All started with an idea of a new name for my Etsy shop, I was not satisfied any more of just Elena Gioielli, first of all because it was in Italian, so not very clear for an international audience and the second reason was a fact that this name didn't reflect what I wanted to comunicate with my jewelry.

And what I wanted to comunicate is that all women are muses. The one is so different from the other one, but it does not mean that she is less beautiful or less inspiring. Like the 9 greek muses, every woman has its own particular talent and gift. I hope that my jewelry will be able to underline the uniqueness of each of us, women. In this way, we can be an inspiration to others, as the true Greek muses, but in the modern era.

The result you can see in the begining of this post, I really hope you like it! 

And here some inspirational photos that I used :
