Salman Khoshroo builds figures out of electric wire, with the resulting character being made for both close inspection and movement. His reflections show the ties between the human machine and the manmade machine. And his kinetic sculptures, in particular, tell of the inherent ability for motion in both of these.
These 3-dimensional hoop-style earrings are made of sterling silver .74" long down the centerline (not including the earwire) 1.22" long with the ear wire length on centerline, not including ear wires - 1.9 cm length including ear wire - 3.1 cm width - 1.9cm These are one of my popular signature earrings. They are so comfortable you can wear them to bed. Many people tell me that they wear them all the time and never take them off. Use your thumb to gently pop the end of the ear wire in and out of the catch. The ear wire is half-hard sterling wire and it holds itself in place by spring tension. Make sure the end of the wire is lined up with the catch as in the second from the bottom image. You can pull the wire apart if it's bent in too far. The bottom image is there to illustrate how the earrings hang in the ear.

Hey Everyone! I have been searching high and low for a bow ring and haven't had much luck so I decided I'd make one. So here is a little DIY. What You Need: • wire ( I prefer using either 16 or 18 gauge wire ) • wire cutters • ruler • emery board • nail polish cap Instructions: 1. Begin by cutting some wire. If you are using a thicker wire so 16 gauge I recommend 7", and 5" for 18 gauge. 2. Take your nail polish cap and begin to wrap the wire around so that it is even on each side. 3. Continue to wrap the wire so that each end is on the opposite side. 4. Take the left side and begin to make a bow loop. 5. Repeat on the other side. 6. Remove the ring from the polish lid. Take the end of the first bow loop and bring it under and over the centre of the bow. 7. Voila! You now have yourself your very own bow ring! I hope you have as much fun as I did making this! Please tweet us your photos @lbdgirls :) -xx Kelsey

QUESTION: Are your tiles real antique Portuguese Azulejo tiles? ANSWER: Absolutely not. In our description of each item, we try to call attention to the theft and destruction of antique Portuguese tiles. Even the tiles found in flea markets and antique stores were most likely stolen off a building during the night. We have seen entire home facades disappear during the night to thieves. Thankfully, Portugal just passed a law declaring this theft a crime. We can only hope that it will one day be enforced. For this reason, we have no part in this despicable crime. We make our own tiles from polymer clay. Ceramic would be far too heavy for earrings and impossible to mold into the shapes we want. For the hoops, we mold the clay as thin as we can get it, so that it will look pretty inside the hoops. QUESTION: What kind of metal is it? ANSWER: SOLID STAINLESS STEEL If it is gold tone, it has a real gold wash. It is not gold plated. Stainless steel is hypoallergenic and nickel free. These beautiful hoops measure 1.5". Super lightweight. Stainless Steel! 3.81cm. The bottom width is 4.5mm. The Blue tiles are found in a convent: Convento de Nossa Senhora da Graça or Meninos de Graca. History of Evora below. This convent was founded in 1511! It is now an army headquarters and much of the convent is in ruin. The same tiles are found in the University of Evora inner courtyard. Gorgeous and in perfect condition! The silver toned version can be found here https://etsy.me/2HIGLKn Wear a Piece of History! According to the World Heritage Convention: This museum-city, whose roots go back to Roman times, reached its golden age in the 15th century, when it became the residence of the Portuguese kings. Its unique quality stems from the whitewashed houses decorated with azulejos and wrought-iron balconies dating from the 16th to the 18th century. The Historic Centre of Évora, capital of the Alentejo Province, Portugal, has been shaped by more than twenty centuries of history, going as far back as Celtic times. It fell under Roman domination and still retains, among other ruins, those of the Temple of Diana. During the Visigoth period, the Christian city occupied the surface area surrounded by the Roman wall, which was then reworked. Under Moorish domination, which came to an end in 1165, further improvements were made to the original defensive system as shown by a fortified gate and the remains of the ancient Kasbah. There are a number of buildings from the medieval period, the best known of which is the Cathedral that was completed in the 13th century. But it was in the 15th century, when the Portuguese kings began living in Évora on an increasingly regular basis that Évora’s golden age began. At that time, convents and royal palaces sprung up everywhere: St Claire Convent, the royal church and convent of São Francisco, not far from the royal palace of the same name, and Os Lóios Convent with the São João Evangelista Church. These are remarkable monuments that were either entirely new buildings or else constructed within already existing establishments, and which are characterised by the Manueline style that survived in the major creations of the 16th century. When the University of the Holy Spirit, where the Jesuits taught from 1553 onwards, was established, Évora became Portugal’s second city. However, the university’s rapid decline began following the expulsion of the Company of Jesus by minister Marquis of Pombal, in 1759. Évora is also remarkable for reasons other than its monumental heritage related to significant historic events. The 16th century was a time of major urban planning and great intellectual and religious influence. While Évora also has many noteworthy 16th-century patrician houses (Cordovil house, the house of Garcia de Resende), the unique quality of the city arises from the coherence of the minor architecture of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. This unity finds its overall expression in the form of numerous low whitewashed houses, decorated with Dutch tiles and wrought-iron balconies and covered with tile roofs or terraces which line narrow streets of medieval configuration and which in other areas bears witness to the concentric growth of the town until the 17th century. It also served to strengthen the fundamental unity of a type of architecture that is perfectly adapted to the climate and the location. Évora remained mainly undamaged by the great earthquake of 1755 that destroyed many towns in Portugal, including Lisbon. The monuments of the Historic Centre of Évora bear witness to their profound influence on Portuguese architecture in Brazil. Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have. 🌸 The term Azulejo or Tile dates back to the time of Arab occupation of the Iberian Peninsula. The term "azulejo is derived from the Arab word (al zulej) which means a smooth and polished stone. It wasn't until the 16th century that the process was perfected into the tile we know today. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 + Please note that some of our items will come with a tag stating "Return only accepted if tag is attached".
