Steven Brownlee, a dude residing in Miami, who rides his bike at night and hosts “Jewelry Creations Workshop” –jewelry classes out of his home-studio every week. He is not your hippie-looking type, although his adventurer spirit wears him well. In love with his passion for creating treasures with his hands, he created this jewelry workshop to make you fall in love with the simplicity, calm, and satisfaction of making jewelry.

He will teach you how to pierce, fill, form and forge the metal. He will guide you about the hand-tools, tell you/explain what they are for and how to use them.

Being in his workshop is a hands on experience it’s lighting the torch, seeing metal liquefy in seconds, dealing with acids, molding brass, carving metal, it’s holding a hammer — and not knocking your fingers off, it’s creating something out of nothing at all.

Jewelry Creations Workshop has a flexible schedule offering four-hour classes in the morning, afternoon and evenings all week long. The intensity and the skill level of the classes will accommodate to your previous knowledge or novice expertise. If the art of bargain is all you know about handmade artisan jewelry pieces, don’t worry. After you take his class and you make your first silver ring, you will be embarrassed to ask for discount ever again.

It’s a fact that women are a species that is superior to men. This is not feminist statement but a natural observation of the human species; women give birth, men don’t. The word ‘woman’ is synonymous with the words ‘mother’ and ‘protection’ and deserve the respect and admiration of their supplementary sex/gender; men.
Now, when we talk about Jessica Gross, besides of having a charming smile, seductive face and legs for miles, she has a gift that will make her step up on the scale in comparison to other women: she can make people laugh. So men, take off your hats for comedian Jessica Gross. Pick some flowers and review your pick up lines, because these lady’s wits are hard to match.

How would you describe what you do? I touch people, not like actually touch people, but in a way that makes people laugh. That didn’t come out right.

Is comedy something that you have cherished all your life? Or was it a sudden knock-on-your-door? For me, comedy started out as a way to make friends; I loved hearing people laugh. After a few unexpected turns in life, around age 24, comedy, as a career, came knocking at my door. I couldn’t help but open that door to see where it might lead me.

Please tell us what went through your mind when you first dared yourself to step up to the mic and make people laugh. The first time I stepped up to the mic, a little voice inside me said, “Jessica, whatever you do, no matter how bad it gets, just don’t vomit.”

What do you generally talk about when you are on the stage? What is the process that you go through to obtain a successful joke? I usually stick to all of those wonderful awkward situations that happen in everyday life. My boyfriend reminds me, “Hey write that down, that’s a joke!” He usually says it in a weird deep voice, like in some way, his version of his voice is different than his actual voice.

How intertwined is your comedy with your personal life and vice versa? It’s not really intertwined, it just wraps around a lot, like a cinnamon bun.

What are, quote-unquote, Jessica Gross “Stuff that makes you sing and dance? Stuff that makes you laugh and cry? Stuff that makes you think?” This question.

You have taken the role of an entertainer. How often are you a spectator and how do you, yourself, find entertainment? As much as possible; watching comedy is now my education. I can only grow as a comedian by learning new and exciting techniques, like a stripper.

What is, according to your discretion, what makes people laugh? “Pain. There is no comedy in Heaven, all comedy comes from pain.” Mark something wrote that, or Sam, or William. Sounds like something a William would say.

Vanessa Maldonado

This Venezuelan chic found in New York a new home second to her loved Caracas. She moved to the Big Apple in 2007 and since then she’s been walking a path towards one of her many talents, jewelry design. By manipulating, bending, embossing and playing with enamel and metal she has developed a diverse collection. Every item is spoiled by the designer’s wit with glimmers of humor and character. Meet the diamond pooping bird, the egg button or the bicycle tandem earrings, for example. This woman has traveled the world, worn the chef’s hat and worked on film sets. Her jewelry treasures mimic her varied and rich experienced life. Meet Vanessa at Artists and Fleas’ market, every weekend in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Fancy Sexy Me

Ronnie Aminov, jewelry designer, and Cynthia Catera, fashion designer, braided their expertise to compose the hot jewelry body collection, Fancy Sexy Me. They let convention jump off the boat and are conquering ladies and guys necks, fingers, wrists and bodies.

FSM’s signature look is their draped, medieval and fringed jewelry techniques. Their chains hang from your shoulders and neck falling below your chest. They rest like gold and brass waterfalls around your body. Too Fancy. Surrender to their knuckle “skull crusher,” “tough love,” or “fuck-off” duster rings. A flat silver or gold ring, handcuffing two or three fingers at the same time. Chose your fit, win the battle between life, death or overthrow. Too Sexy. Ronnie and Cynthia can be found at Artists and Fleas in Brooklyn. Take a peak at this indie bazaar every weekend and meet these masters.

They are residents of the bricked, oak wood Brooklyn boho neighborhood. Collectively they are the creators and designers behind Every Little Counts.
