Rings

Heirloom

,

I haven’t written in a while, and I miss going to the place within me where I discover how I perceive life. When I don’t write, I get cut off from my inner eyes, the ones that see with all my senses, the ones with which I navigate the depths of my experience.

In that space where my writing is born, I embrace the full cycle of life and death. I face those parts of me that have ended, and I witness those that are born.

One day, no one will remember me. I am part of the chain of lives that are passing through. My longings on this path seem ephemeral, but I write them down to engage with myself and to hold my heart like a precious stone for as long as I am here.

Each One of You

,

You have showered me with love and commission requests on this 11th anniversary. Thank you for filling my creative path with joy! I am thrilled to re-connect with you individually, see which pieces warm your heart, and learn what they mean to you. 

Getting back to each one of you will take time, as I want to offer you the best options to create your favorite pieces. This may include pictures of gemstones, measurements, drawings, etc. Rest assured: I will get back to ALL of you. 

This is a recent commission of a pendant that was inspired by a ring.

Shop Update: Hypnotic Rings

, ,

The Hypnotic Rings are now available in my online shop.

Every ring is one of a kind, if you no longer see the piece you are looking for it’s because it has already sold.

I can cut these rings to fit any size between 5 and 10. Once I adjust your ring, you will still be able to open it half a size. Here is help if you are unsure of your size.

Base

,

I am recovering. Finding my way back to myself. To my power, to my sense of inner freedom. It is time to rest, walk, create, write and trust. To feel my way through this. There is nothing out there that needs to happen. This moment is about feeling my way inside. 

I am getting used to my inner vision, to new eyes that see who I really am. I take baby steps as I grow within. Old memories fall into place; I digest, sort out and process. Shedding my old skin takes time. I am gentle with myself as I grow and stretch. It is a time for gestation. I hold the space for this to happen.

Chamber

,

I find there must some madness, a kind of blind trust in the unseen in order to create. An openness to let an idea happen, no matter where it leads. Sometimes the result is familiar, often it comes from a foreign land. 

The intention is to explore. To fish for symbols that mean different things to different people. To carve a cave wall with images from an inner world, those seen with the heart.

Compass

,

One of the wisest and most challenging lessons I’ve learnt, is that I can trust my body. It knows when I like something or when I am repelled by it. It tells me who to trust, when to open up, and when it’s time to say goodbye. The guidance I sought in others, was inside all along.

Spirited

, ,

In this new year of life, I decided that I am ready to trust myself. I will let my curiosity guide me, and use my feelings as a compass to discover who I am today.

I’d stopped paying attention to the wisdom of my body to avoid feeling parts of myself I didn’t trust: my despair, madness, anger and exhaustion, but the inner work I’ve done in the past few years, has taught me that these are my greatest teachers. 

I have also learnt that my main job as an artist is to cultivate the inner space where ideas are born. Mental rigidity limits my imagination, while sensory receptivity expands it. My creative dedication comes from the delight I get from exploring new ideas. 

So far this week, I began to learn the art of drinking and brewing coffee (from @jimseven); I read two children’s books that I’d always wanted to read: Alice in Wonderland and Treasure Island; I began to research how to make my own t-shirt designs; and best of all: I felt joy honoring the unique expression of my spirit.

Eureka

,

Lemons. Sea breeze on bare shoulders. My father, cousin Alex, Vanessa and I, rollerskating down California streets at night. The scent of flowers, hot pavement, a star filled sky. Summers that live in my mind.

Our small family, usually cold and bundled up in our house in the forest, now bare and free. A rare chance to enjoy dad on vacation. Later, macaroni and cheese for dinner, black licorice for dessert.

Submerged

,

The simple things are not the easiest. To allow what is. To let go of what is not. It takes skill to be at ease with each moment.
