Centered Series
Long days of work in my studio have calmed my mind and made me fully inhabit my body. When something worries me, I let it go easily because I miss the repose of my body. From here I exist, I feel the warm sun on my back as I walk, I delight in a poem, I enjoy a friend.
Recent Work
Key
In the end, I think that we are all here to crack each others hearts wide open.
Key pendant.
Handmade with amethyst and recycled sterling silver.

Opening
I love how time has slowed down. It has given me the pause I need to savor life. As my mind quiets down, my body joins the rhythm of nature and my existence feels richer.
I can now appreciate art and friendship more fully. I can digest and integrate my experience of the past. I am open to feel the gift of love, cry the tears I’d held back, and release accumulated tension in my body.
The truth of who I am is revealed by this perspective of time and space.

Magical
Today I received a wonderful message from Maria, in Massachusetts:
“You are a true magician, Jennifer, your work is powerful, spiritual and superbly crafted. Every time I know I'll have a difficult day, I wear something yours, and it makes me feel so much stronger, calmer, just better... I am so grateful that you are out there creating and making the world more beautiful.”
Thank you for continuing to enjoy my work! We create this magic together.
Magical Necklace.

Next Tuesday in my online shop.
Expansive
I have a feeling that everything that has happened to me was orchestrated by me. Not with my full approval, but with the force of an expanding energy that just wants to be. An energy that cares nothing for social constructs, safety or reputation. A relentless desire for adventure and creation.
I am learning to trust this internal current, even when it feels self-destructive, because self-destruction can be positive. Especially when I break false ideas I have about myself, beliefs like I'm worthless or nobody cares. I am a force of nature, and I prefer to align with it than suffer its expansive and scary ways.
Expansion necklace.
Handmade with recycled sterling silver.
Soon in my online shop.
Revelation
Today I am excited! I’m remembering how I used to feel when I began making jewelry ages ago. The possibilities! The potential! The mystery and adventure! Anything can happen. I can create a world. I can participate. I have something to say, and as I say it, I create it.
This is what I came to do. I came to create my world. I came to give birth to myself. My potential unfolds as I express who I am. Through writing, drawing, forging. It feels good to not avoid me. I am excited to be back on a great adventure with myself.
This is what it means to be a creator: to take what I was given, the good and bad and mold it into a story, into meaning into beauty. Beauty now being all of it, the whole of me. The depth lies in all of it, and how I’ve longed for it! I am the guide I always sought. The hidden wise crone.
On the other side of fear lies adventure. What a revelation for someone who was terrified of taking a step in any direction: on the other side of everything is something else. The next step appears after the one I take now.

Thorn Series
Thank you for your warm welcome! Your encouragement always inspires me.
I am finally settled into my new home, happy to be back at play in my studio.
The Thorn Series combines my favorite gemstone (fluorite) color (agave green) and plant (the maguey, mother of mezcal).
I will add this series to my online shop on Friday at 1 pm, CT.
Things to know before then:
I can cut any ring to fit size 6 to 10.
Once I cut your ring, you can still open it half a size.
I ship to most parts of the world.
Shipping in my Etsy shop is free.
Every piece I make is one of a kind and I don’t repeat it.
Thorn
I am strength and I am light. I am the beauty of the thorn and the sublime in pain. I am structure in chaos. I am a plant and I am a star. My insides cut and chop and rip out everything to grow and be reborn.
I am the cactus, I am the maguey. I am the deep well where everything rests. I am the void where life sprouts. I am the beginning and the end.
