Wrist love.

Personally, I love to layer bracelets..I like jangle. I don't know why it never occurred to me to offer this little layer of texture before but they're available now! Organic leather wrist wrap s in distressed grey/brown and at 22" these are long enough to wrap your wrist 3 times or just wear accompanying any pendant. Buy singly at 18.00 US or for 9 with any other purchase. Shown with my favorite bracelet and with new listing..you can find it here 'Jetsam' was created with pieces left over from other work. Still, there is a cohesiveness. Lots of organic brass and sterling silver. A knotted leather loop drawing them to a close. One little square swarovski to bounce the light around. The brass & stone charm comes from the Bazaar in Istanbul.  Uniquely feminine with lots of colorful energy ~❤︎  ~Available bracelets and pendants~

The internet and   Pinterest  are the digital version of this, but often it can impact your mind more when the image is singled out. Just let the color combinations and patterns wash over you. No intent, no action needed, just absorb. Take the images that move you most, print them out and make yourself a wall board to keep them on. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧.  Pottery and dishes provide a wonderful springboard for glass beads and jewelry, as do museum catalogs/online articles. Research by-go...

For the love of Rocks

I come from a long line of dedicated rock hounds. I know that because my mother  told me this one day as we walked back from getting our mail in rural Port Alberni,  BC. The 10 minute walk was sometimes much longer as we searched out special  looking pebbles or of course, the'wishing stones' which on Vancouver Island were  usually granite with a skinny stripe of quartz that encircled the entire stone. My beautiful mother who we lost in July 2023. My older sister and I. We've been lucky to bring back precious [to me] earth stones from many parts of  the world.   Lake Tiberias in Israel, Persian Gulf area, Dingle, Ireland, Isle of Sky area,  Edinburgh,  and Inverness areas in Scotland, a walk back to our hotel in  Strasbourg,  France.  The Levent Valley near Malatya, Turkey sometimes referred to as the Grand  Canyons of the Anatolia. The stone in my palm almost always brings back the day.  My regret is that I didn't label th...
