Produtos secos com pérolas

Novos colares com produtos secos, pérolas e acabamento com fio de camurça amarrando nas costas ou, se preferirem, na lateral. Logo estarão à venda na minha loja etsy.

These are my new necklaces made with dried organic products, pearls and a suede cord to finish. You can give a knot at the back or, if you prefer, on the side. They will soon be listed at etsy.

Está na mídia!

Dois dos meus colares foram escolhidos para este ensaio de moda de uma nova revista eletrônica - "Dengue". Irene Contreiras, uma das produtoras de moda da revista e irmã da nora de uma grande amiga, gostou do meu trabalho e então, aqui está o resultado! As fotos das peças estão logo abaixo das fotos da revista. Obrigada, Irene, adorei!

Carambolas

Uma experiência que deu certo. Este é o resultado do banho de prata em uma das carambolas.
Um simples colar com um fio de camurça preta e mais nada. Gostei! Em breve na minha loja etsy.

This is the result of a silver plated carambola. I think it worked quite well! I just added a black suede cord to it. I liked it! It will be soon listed in my etsy shop.

Sharing My Favorite Summer Recipe

The Etsy Blogger Street Team is quite a fun group and always have great ideas about blogging! For this Blog Carnival one of the themes is "Share your favorite summer recipe".

Well, I love Seafood and Oriental cuisine. So I decided to share one my favorites Thai recipe - "THAI SHRIMP AND MANGO SALAD" (Yam Koong Ma Muang).

Thailand is such a beautiful place and I dream about spending a Summer vacation there to know the culture, the people and the amazing places and monuments they have.

Thai food is delicious, spicy and exotic. Going to one of the Thai restaurants in Rio is really a treat. I love it! Just look at these photos, aren't they mouthwatering?

Now, get your paper and pen (or paste and copy...) for this delicious recipe. So fresh for the Summer!

• 2 Tablespoons Shallot -- minced

• 1/2 Teaspoon Anchovy Paste

• 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce

• 2 Tablespoons Peanuts, Dry-roasted unsalted -- crushed

• 1 1/2 Cups Coconut Cream -- see below

• 2 Each Red or Green Chili Peppers -- chopped fine or 2 Teaspoons Dried, Crushed Red Pepper

2) Peel mangos and cut into thin strips. Sprinkle with some lemon juice.

3) Broil shrimps until done (about 7-8 minutes) turning once. Shell, devein and cut each into 4 slices.

5) Heat oil and saute garlic and shallots until golden brown. When done, add to the shrimp mixture.

6) Blend anchovy paste and soy sauce, add to the shrimp mixture and toss lightly.

7) Sprinkle with peanuts, then add the coconut cream gradually until all ingredients are coated.

8) Season to taste with additional soy sauce and/or anchovy paste. Garnish with the chili peppers and serve at room temperature.

Serving Ideas : If mangoes are not available, you can use 2 medium size apples: peel, core, slice and sprinkle with lemon juice.

NOTES : TO MAKE YOUR OWN COCONUT CREAM: Grate white meat of 2 coconuts or 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut. Place in 2 cups scalded milk. Let steep in hot milk for 20 minutes. Strain through cheesecloth, pressing all liquid out of coconut meat.

I hope you enjoy this delicious recipe, and don't forget to invite me for dinner!
