My first Totem Necklace

I have wanted to make necklaces like this for some time...I have a huge collection of beads...chains...findings, etc....both new and vintage that I have collected for years...

My meaning of the components may differ from what you or others intuit from personal experiences...and that's what makes us all different...special in our own way... 

Hand crafted necklace...a mixture of vintage and new...overall length-18.5"...chain part is 13" with a 1" ring and 4.5" beaded "fringe"



The descending dove on the chain and again on the fringe represents Spirit...


The spirals represent movement through your experiences in life...


...the downward  arrow...peace...a clear quartz crystal to amplify energy and thought and it may also draw off negative energy...glass and silver beads represent air bubbles...reminding you to just breathe....and last...one word...Hope....


Hope that as you move through your life...may your spirit know peace...which will amplify and grow as negativity dissipates and you learn to take life as it comes...and just breathe...


A part of me goes into each piece I make...whether it be jewelry...a painting...or any other craft or art...be gentle with my soul...reach out...connect...let's discover common ground and maybe a deeper connection...may peace and hope be with you...


Creativity Slump

I just haven't had any sign of creativity lately...it seems to have flown my coop... Work has been crazy, but I think it may finally set...
