Jewelry and Artwork by Laurene Alvarado
_______________________________________________________________________
If the name Laurene Alvarado sounds familiar it may be because you’re recalling the feature we ran on her as one of our featured make-up artists. As great a job as she does in making people beautiful (check out her how-to video here–she is also a talented artist (see her ‘Leatherface’ painting above) and jewelry maker.
All of the jewelry (pictured left her ‘Into the Wild’ Marlon Brando Pendant and her ‘Blondes are Forever’ Marilyn Monroe hair clips) in her “shop features beautiful mini reproductions of my Original Paintings. Each piece of jewelry is handcrafted” by Laurene Alvarado, who “hand make each piece of jewelry myself using” her “own glass enameling technique. A great amount of Time and Care goes into each of her Original Art Pendants, Hair clips, necklaces, cufflinks, etc. ”
As she states on her site, she “hand pours, as well as hand paints enamel onto each and every piece. These are extremely Shiny, Crystal Clear, Durable, waterproof and Beautiful.”
So if you have someone on your list that has a more macabre sense of style or who has a love for the retro, you might find the perfect gift at Laurene’s Etsy Store which you can find by clicking here.
