Celebrating life’s beauty and meaning in copper and gemstones, accompanied by intuition, intention and affirmations.

🎨Two weeks ago I gathered @sji.museum.of.art with a delightful group of people and we spent 4 hours painting, sharing and inspiring one another. In this class we doodled with watercolor paints, pencils and markers on mixed media paper…then used handmade papers to decorate a glass jar for part two of the project.

💛 The focus for this class was JOY, which not only feels good but also helps in building resilience. A warm thanks to all who participated! 😊

🧡 Sharing creative time with others can be relaxing, inspiring and uplifting, and it’s one of my favorite experiences in life.

👩🏻‍🎨And now my art room is all about Chakras as I get ready to set up for the next class at @sji.museum.of.art which is just two days away!

🩵 In the last little while I have been quiet, as I usually am in the colder months…going inward, doing my own shedding of the leaves, my own slowing down, noticing, writing and painting.

🧘🏻‍♀️In many ways my winters have become rest and recovery time from the busy summer months, when creating with metals, connecting and socializing during markets and events is prevalent.

🕯️In the winter, my home becomes my little cave, lit mostly by fairy lights and candles, a good space to be still, incubate ideas, nurture dreams into fruition and bring longer projects into completion.

✨As the days become longer and brighter, and the temperature warmer, I am feeling my time of quiet becoming more alive with the desire to connect and share what I have been up to. I have been drawing Mandalas, something I used to do on a daily basis in the winter months, and I have been journaling, re-aligning with my values, and making cards of affirmations to stay inspired.

🎨 And one of the larger projects I have been working on, is creating a series of classes, offering hands-on activities, a creative exploration through paint, paper and more.

👩🏻‍🎨 I am beyond delighted to be returning to sharing my creative work through classes, and I am looking forward to sharing with you my creative journey and enjoying creative community together at the @sji.museum.of.art 🎨The first class starts February 27th.

✨ I am filled with GRATITUDE for another year spent creating and expanding my work and creative practice.

✨Thanks to all who have been supporting my work with inspiration, nurturance, knowledge, advice, practical tips and wearing and gifting my jewelry creations. It’s always a delightful moment when I serendipitously encounter someone wearing one of my pieces. 🧡

✨ A big thank you to all of the wonderful artists 🧑‍🎨 I meet at markets and the many artists who share their work on instagram, it’s a true delight and inspiration seeing your work and following your journeys! 🙏

✨ And now I’ll put my hammer 🔨 down for a little while to let my body rest and fill my creative cup back up with beauty and art in all its many forms and embracing some winterly creative exploration through paint 🎨 and words ✍️.

Another NEW creation from my most recent batch of bracelets…African Turquoise (Jasper!) + Green Aventurine. A nice combo, reflecting the luscious green of grass and forest under the pouring rain, at this time of year.

A little moon 🌙 & star ⭐️ on shimmery copper…as always, hand ✋ stamped. Simple and sweet! 😌

And with the moon almost full 🌕, this is a good time to practice gratitude for the blessings, the people, experiences and wisdom gathered, experienced and gained throughout the month. 🙏

I usually go for round shapes, ovals, spirals and drops…but I have been experimenting with new, more angular shapes like rectangles, triangles and now some “diamonds” and hexagons, which are not ever my to-go-shapes but it’s fun to try something new while I hammer away on the copper. I’m also experimenting with different thickness of copper…we’ll see what my new, creative (and personal) evolution will be!

⭐️ Ohhh how I love organization! 🤩

⭐️ And my bracelet cards nestle just so in this little drawer-turned-tray.

⭐️ Being the light-loving creature I am, I carry this “tray” with me following the (PNW) sun ☀️ around my house, getting comfy in each of my creative nooks. Ok, sometimes it’s less of a following and more of a chasing of the sun (ish) shyly peeking through the windows.

⭐️ And once my jewelry creations are complete, the tray goes buy buy, back into its tidy life as a drawer…till creative inspiration sparks ⚡️ again….or I have run out of bracelets, whichever happens first! 😉

⭐️ And this is a little sneak peek at my newest collection of bracelets, all NEW gemstones combos and NEW affirmations, ready for you my dear, and those special someones in your life. 🧡😘

🪷I love the symbolism of the Lotus Flower, rising again and again from muddy waters to bloom anew in all its beauty! Moving above and beyond adversity, towards the light…and perhaps towards delight. It’s one of my favorite things to stamp on jewelry and to wear around my neck…and one of the first pieces I created years ago as Tokens of hope, transformation and inspiration for healing retreats.

🪷 Strength

🪷 Resilience

🪷 Overcoming adversity

🪷 Rebirth

🎄A little red, a little green, and it feels like Christmas!

🌟 I don’t know about you, but this year, and this season, I need things to be simple…simple gatherings, a gentle pace and gentle space, meaningful gifts that feel good to the Soul. Strolls in the woods, cozy blankets and hot cups of tea 🍵 , twinkle ✨ lights and loving connections that light up my heart. ♥️

📕 One of my favorite things this time of year is to listen to Beth Kempton’s “The Calm Christmas” podcast and her book “Calm Christmas and a Happy New Year”, both soothing, nurturing and inspiring. Thanks Beth! 🙏 @bethkempton
