Feels like sunshine in my heart.
Glass beads from the sweetest shop, Beluga Beads in Depoe Bay. The glass reminded me of the way the sun & moon have been shining on this special trip to the beach.
Having the honor of witnessing this process take on a journey of its own, takes my breath away. Feels like magic all the way through. Our clients are the secret ingredient that complete the process of each adornment's creation. Custom design & reading at the Autumn pop up with Sticks & Stones in Portland.
At the coast for my 42nd birthday. A trip made possible by a dear family & friend. Walking the beach at sunrise, experiencing my husband getting inspired at the possibilities of Magic Recipe. Watching my son play and connect with the universe within and all around. Meeting sweet, local shop owners. Creating adornments under the full Aries moon listening to the waves ebb and flow along the shoreline.
I have always loved opals and rainbows. I have memories of my grandmother with raw opals she kept in a small bowl at her dining table. I loved them so much, it was a treat getting to hold them and watch every color appear as the light moved across their surface. I started working with them in Libra season and it feels like the beginning of something so special. Inspiration from experiences that feel like the past, present, and future connecting. Gratitude for the nourishment this process provides.
This bracelet almost makes me cry. Nostalgia in the sweetest way. As it was coming into being I could feel the love for its rainbow joy moving up my body into my neck and throat, wanting to just scream out for the pure love I felt for a similar bracelet I had as a little girl in the 80s. I know that 80's bracelet is in a box somewhere. It's now on my to do list to find it.
Full moon rising. Walking back to the house from the beach with a full, calm, inspired heart.
Gratitude in my heart for time spent in the wild wind, sand, and salty air.
I can feel when I am making a piece for someone who will see it and know in their heart that it is theirs. It feels like time travel. The process of stone & glass coming into being, turned into beads that come into my world from so many different journeys. Feeling them call for each other and stringing them together in a way that feels like a story. Then having our events and markets and getting to witness the experience of our clients finding their adornments. That's what makes YOU the secret ingredient. You know when it's yours, you can feel it. It is such a pleasure to design and create as part of the process for an adornment finding its way home.
