Comfort Beads

What a busy holiday season!  I hope eveyone is well.  We survived with the usual amount of casualties (ham, turkey, wrapping paper...). I've been busy this holiday season designing, packaging, and consigning Comfort beads.  I even went so far as to set up an ETSY shop.  I am so excited as I received my first special order this afternoon.  I wanted to share a couple of examples of my handiwork.   

Comfort Beads are a set of beads used for Comfort, Prayer or Meditation. I have carefully selected gemstones to help comfort in times of stress, to help calm during prayer and to help you focus during meditation. You are able to run your fingers over the beads, play with them, make shapes with them, and you will feel comforted. Each set of Comfort Beads have been carefully selected for their metaphysical and healing properties, brought together for a greater purpose (chakra, contentment, clarity).

The CLARITY Comfort Beads are 8" long including the Swarovski Cross and Sodalite Pendent. The gemstones selected are: Sodalite, Blue Quartz and Freshwater Pearls. It is accented with beautiful Swarovski Crystals and Sterling Silver. Included with the CLARITY comfort beads is a organza drawstring bag to store them and a listing of the gemstones and their mystical and/or healing properties.  Sodalite brings inner peace. Blue quartz crystal is a soothing, stress-relief stone.  Pearls symbolize purity of heart and mind, faith and innocence. They remind us to carry ourselves through life with dignity.

CHAKRA Comfort Beads are the perfect accompaniment to your daily yoga or mediation practice.  Religious beliefs including Hindu and Buddhist meditate to open their Chakra. Chakra are believed to be passages in the body, that when aligned correctly connect the physical and the spiritual world unleashing healing powers.

This set of CHAKRA Comfort beads are handmade. I make them in my workroom using the finest quality materials available.  The CHAKRA Comfort Beads are 8" long including the soapstone Zodiac pendent. The gemstones selected are: Red Coral, Carnelian, Tiger's Eye, Green Aventurine, Turquoise, Amethyst and Fluorite. It is accented with beautiful Swarovski Crystals and Sterling Silver. Included with the CHAKRA comfort beads is a organza drawstring bag to store them in and a listing of the gemstones and their mystical and/or healing properties.

Makin' Jewelry

It's been so stinkin' cold. It's hard to find activities that are fun inside. Here are a few things that I've made.

This necklace & earrings are made out of chips of aventurine and amethyst. Both stones have magical healing properties.

• Aventurine symbolizes tranquility and patience It gives the wearer inner equilibrium and stimulates dreaming. Aventurine relieves anxieties and promotes relaxation and recuperation.
• Amethyst is said to attract justice. It wards off danger. Amethysts have a soothing, relaxing effect and promote healthy sleep. Placed under your pillow it prevents nightmares.

I call this jewelry set "Downtown Brown." I used a glass bead mix with Swarovski crystals and gold findings. I love how it turned out. I hope you can make out the detail.

A Little Something New.

Over the summer, I took up a new hobby. I was watching my older girls who come when there is no school. While trying to find projcts to keep them busy, I bought $10 jewelry kit and the rest is history.

This one is my Favorite. It's copper findings with turquoise and Swarovski crystals.

My other favorite has gold findings, freshwater pearls, glass pearls in chocolate, taupe and Ivory.

I like to wear alot of pink so I made this one to complement.... It has rose embossed silver findings, a pink mix of czech glass beads, and clear Swarovski crystals.
