CIRCUS

Mr. Brown, the circus clown

puts his clothes on upside down.
He wears his hat upon his toes
and socks and shoes upon his nose.

He ties his ties around his thighs
and wraps his belt around his eyes.
He hangs his earrings from his hips
and stockings from his fingertips.

He puts his glasses on his feet
and shirt and coat around his seat.
And when he's dressed, at last he stands
and walks around upon his hands.


--Kenn Nesbitt

CIRCLES

Circles are often seen as protective symbols. Standing within a circle shields a person from supernatural dangers or influences outside of the circle. Conversely, a circle can also be containing, keeping that which is inside from been released.

Turquoise encourages inner healing through its ability to enhance empathy and caring. It heightens our intuitive ability and opens the door to spiritual growth. It is the color of the evolved soul.

I wish you protection and inner healing.

HARMONY

Is HARMONY something you seek?



"Look in the mirror
And what you see in yourself,
Try to see in others.

 If you see perfection in your life,
Then see perfection in others.

 If you see perfection in your life,
Then see perfection in others.











The experience of oneness
In darkness or light
Brings about harmony."

- Sri Chinmoy

Beautiful Silvered Organics - Special Order

An amazing client produced a picture of some beads made into a bracelet that she just loved and wanted to reproduce.

"I respect artistic ethic and would never ask you to copy another artists beads.  Could you make a set with your own twist on organic beauty." She said.

The beads she had a picture of were so beautiful that I was inspired and couldn't wait to get going on them.


I had so much fun that I got lost in the project and created an additional smaller set for earrings as well and an additional lentil for the original requested set of six beads!  Tons of silver that sparkle and shine in the sunlight.

These are them !!!  They will make a beautiful necklace or bracelet of her own design.

And these - are the smaller lentils for ...  maybe a pair of earrings.

Enjoy !!!

Who knows how the mind works?

When pondering a description for this bead...the name "Oscar Wilde" popped into my mind.  So I named it that.  Oscar Wilde.  Kind of funny - right?

Not that I am even familiar with him or his works.

What would you name this bead?

Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.

Color-full

You have become my greater self;

how can smallness limit me?

 

You've taken on my being,
how shall I not take on Yours?

Forever, You have claimed me

that forever I may know You're mine.

Rumi


Have a wonderful Tuesday...Suzanne

Thank you for a great 2012

GRATITUDE

What has 2012 given you?

The last two years living in Los Angeles I was able to take classes from world reknown glass gurus Claudia Trimbur-Pagel, Sara Sally LaGrand, Bronwen Heilman, JC Herrell, to name just a few.  I picked up skills using Precious Metal Clay Silver as an addition to selling my beads by incorporating them into various pendants and rings with this magical substance.  I took a jewelry class and learned to solder and patina the silver.  Using those skills I learned to make a bezeled pendant out of a sheet of Sterling Silver.

I met some forever friends who changed my life forever, Sheila, Tiffany, Kelly, Judith.  Judith became my BFF and was always there for me when the road seemed to come to an end and I didn't know how to move ahead.  She ushered me into a new beginning with her never ending wisdom.  Tiffany, Kelly and Sheila met me on the other side with smiles and hope for the future.  Many others along the way didn't even realize how they were holding my tired arms up.  My two sons Adam and Gabe believing in me all the way and helping me physically and spiritually.

I enjoyed the weather, the yoga and being a Californian  Now that I am back in Washington and I look back at what I've learned and experienced, I am ready to move forward using all that California gave me.

I've stepped back into my life in Washington with a new zest and curiosity for what lies ahead for my family and me.  I know it is going to be an adventure.

Happy New Year to you all and thank you for all you've given me over the last year. I hope to give back to you tons of enjoyment, laughter and peace as we all move into 2013.
