Have a very inspiring weekend!
|
I just added these six pendants to my online shop. If you no longer see the piece your are looking for on Etsy, it means it has already sold. Have a very inspiring weekend! I will post the six Moon Talismans to my Etsy shop tomorrow around midday. Please sign up here if you want me to email you as soon as they are available. I decided to lengthen the Unity necklace I made several months ago. I like how the large amethyst frames the solar plexus. I will add this necklace to my shop on Etsy when I post the Moon Talisman series at the end of this week. Sign up here if you want me to notify you by email as soon as it is available. I have been thinking a lot about a video I recently saw in The School of Life –a web series created by philosopher Alain de Botton that helps develop emotional intelligence through culture. The video is titled, The Weakness of Strength. Using whimsical graphics, de Botton explains how we can have better relationships if we accept the shadow side of people’s virtues. “Every strength that an individual has, necessarily brings with it a weakness of which it is an inherent part.” Therefore, no one can be perfect because “it is impossible to have strengths without weaknesses.” This idea has helped me judge myself less harshly. I have always felt guilty about not seeing the people I love more often, for taking a long time to reply to their emails, and for disconnecting from society in general for long periods of time. But I’ve now realized that the issues that make me a distant friend, become qualities that help me become a better artist: focused discipline, obsesive determination, and a need for solitude. Perhaps one day I will find peace in this dichotomy. Convergent Moons pendant. Handmade with silver obsidian and 100% recycled sterling silver. Soon in my online shop. “Consider the fact that for 3.8 billion years, a period of time older than the earth's mountains and rivers and oceans, every one of your forebears on both sides has been attractive enough to find a mate, healthy enough to reproduce, and sufficiently blessed by fate and circumstances to live long enough to do so. Lunar Formation pendant. Handmade with silver obsidian, transparent quartz and 100% recycled sterling silver. Soon in my online shop. Striped top by my friends at Fábrica Social. Today I celebrate that yesterday I made my six hundredth sale on Etsy! When I opened my shop in 2011, I sold a single item that entire year. Five years later, I earn my living exclusively from what I sell online. I am grateful for the creative freedom this allows me, and for the beautiful connection that I have with each one of you. Thank you for being so kind and generous with me! I am back at work on the Moon Talisman series I began a few months ago. Double Moon Talisman. Handmade with labradorite moonstone and 100% recycled sterling silver. Soon in my online shop. The High Rise series is now available in my online shop. Every ring is one-of-a-kind, so if you no longer see it in my store on Etsy, it means it has already sold. Tomorrow at midday I will post the High Rise series to my online shop. Every ring is one-of-a-kind, and can be adjusted to fit any size between 6 and 10.5. I can help you calculate your size when you purchase. Sign up here if you want to be notified the minute the rings become available. This is the final piece of my High Rise series. I gave each ring an extra tall bezel to add power to an otherwise simple piece. It does not take much to make something more interesting. I found some gorgeous beets in the corner store this morning. They were so full of life that I had to include them in today’s photoshoot. Afterwards I cooked and ate them, grateful for their sweet and delicious nourishment “As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.” Every experience holds a gift. During my month-long illness I re-gained a sense of inner silence and stillness that I continue to cultivate. When I am in this state, I can observe and appreciate the world in a way that is so much richer than when I am stressed. From this state, I receive the gift of life in every moment I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world Unified ring. Handmade with gray moonstone and 100% recycled sterling silver. Soon in my online shop. Huipil (top) by Fabrica Social. Today I modeled for my friends at Fabrica Social, who create a gorgeous line of clothing and accesories made by indigenous textile artisans throughout Mexico. They documented local designers (who are also fans of their work) wearing their favorite garments from the Spring/Summer collection, in their own studios. When I pose to showcase my jewelry, I am also the photographer, so it was interesting to be completely on the other side of the lens. I don’t usually open up to projects like this, because I love having whole days to concentrate on my jewelry, but today’s photoshoot was lively and fun, and I got to hang out with creative people who reminded me that every experience makes life richer. Rose Colored ring. Handmade with rose quartz and 100% recycled sterling silver. Soon in my online shop. |
