I was commissioned to make a tiny pendant with a blue gemstone.
Scarab Necklace.

Gift
It has taken me decades to appreciate myself and my gifts. I tried to be like others, to find my worth in their eyes, to be seen. Now I take the time to encourage myself in challenging situations, to celebrate my achievements, to rest when I am tired, and be gentle when I am afraid.
I’ve also tried to change careers every year, feeling that art was selfish and not helpful enough in this changing world. Now I see that making art has given me purpose, direction and immense joy. It is the place where my love for life finds expression.

Peacock

Oh wildly, it dances today, my heart,
like a peacock it dances.”

Celestial Necklace
I bought this rough celestite from a traveling musician years ago. He told me it enhanced meditation, intuition, and calmness. It also promotes creativity, self-expression, and positive communication. With this in mind, I designed a pendant that rests at the base of the throat, for best results.
