introverted & its okay.. :-)

acceptance.

I thought I was weird for so long, shy, anti social, I couldnt accept I’m introverted atal always wanting to change and be ‘Out there’…

I enjoy solitude being alone with my thoughts,creating, thinking about ideas,etc..

I always found being around groups of people so so difficult and have had just a few close trustworthy friends. I dont like pubs/clubs, the noise boundaries being pushed shouting over music and so on, even writing this is giving me a horrible feeling.

Being aroud people uses up My enegy, when I have conversations with people I engage and listen and answer deeply. I have never been able to engage in ‘chit chat’. I thought for so many years there was something wrong with me, many times i  was called a weirdo, loner, but I can acccept it now and when I look back I behaved to fit in, be something Im not. I’ve come across this writer Susan Cain & her talk on ted was powerful for me.

il definitly be reading her book in the future.

Domed Rainbow Buttons

I really love these , I like the domed effect & how clear they are.
I took the photo right beside the window so to the right of it is the reflection from the door
its completly clear just the gorgeous colours of the buttons.
It comes with a silver chain 18″ in length. Sits right over collarbone 🙂
Splash of pretty colours.

White little charms

Ive been making these cute little charmsv  cute  white angels & pretty white flowers.

I was happy with the detail especially the angel.

I just wanted to share a picture of the pieces packaged.

I made these packaging with washi tape, at the back there is a description of the necklace how it was made etc.. I like to put as much as I can  in these as its easier to organise but boxes are available too.

by the sea

i have been working on this for a few weeks now, the idea was in My mind and today the weathers been really crap, I got out for a short 30 minute walk 😦 I was looking through photos of the past year Came across a these photos of Mallinbeg up in Donegal. It is definitly My favourite beach in Ireland. When I arrived i was like a kid inner child always comes out flying near the sea

Mallinbeg beach Co.Donegal.

I was day dreaming looking at the drips on my window which is quite medititive for me, The necklace was coming in and out of my mind..

So 4 hours later here it is.

i embedded text ‘sea’ & tiny sea shell into bezel & sealed it it has a glossy finish.

The necklace looks really random but its far from that! I wanted to achevie a really natural look

I used coral branches, the more rugid and rough the better! i love these beads there so organic

and look amazing. I made a separate pendant element to the piece I didnt want the necklace to have a simple look, it balanced with the use of each bead, I used My favourite howlite , wooden rondelles, lots of coral amazing metal textured beads, cocunut spacers, turqoise & silver bali spacers.

for a friend

self explanatory
I used blue backing & added the
text ‘friend always’
it has a glossy finish & is used with j’ grade
so will never yellow.
It comes with a 18″ or 20″ bronze chain.

Balancing Chakra

Ive been thinking about this for a weeks now and Sunday I spoke to someone about balancing chakras, when there imbalanced the symptoms and so on. I thought it was a nice idea to create this with quartz inside. I painted a watercolour to get the colour I see alot during diff therapys, i added the chakra symbol and sealed. Then i cut quartz stone into tiny chips i wanted it to look like they surrounded her. Its hard to see in this picture, the day light may show clearer. Its a strong and powerful image. Im pleased with result.

this comes with a silver 18″ chain

Playing Cupid!

I’ve been playing cupid for couples.
These pet names couples have for each other. Some are funny & cute the ideas really sweet,i like it so i was asking a few people what they would like…
If i had a partner at the moment
I’d be happy if he/she did this for me or even thought of it!
On the subject, today I met someone whos 85 going on 16! Such a funny charming lady, I was helping her with some necklaces She had that needed new clasps/wire etc.. She cant get them open with arthitris.Id met her last week, It was a magical few hours, The storys She shared one in particular about her husband who passed away 3 days after their 50th Wed Anniversy. Clearly She was still so much in love & missed him dearly still (17 yrs he’s passed away) She showed me all her impressive artwork some of which She made her self using fabric. I felt grateful afterwards trust was there and how open She was with me and her vulnerablilty yet so feisty! (A phone call She recieved and the caller treated her like She was stupid) the way She reacted was briliant! I love that, Elderly withy men & women. You learn and have so much craic!
Oh about male/female pendants, I waffle alot ! My text messages are also like essays too!
I heard a story about a young man who has been on his own for 7 years, he had been in love with a girl and after a 6 year relationship She ended it. He was heartbroken. For months he became depressed but eventually got over it and moved on with life. Then he heard that She was in a new relationship, this time her partner was female. He was so shocked, ‘wasnt the same’ (the words used) basically hasnt been with a girl since & freezes up whenever he’s around any females.
I’m not judging atal, hope it doesnt come across this way. I really feel for him, it must have been so hard but u do have to move on. I am assuming its because of the area he’s from, people can be so so small minded and hurtful, their so insecure in themselves and have never really been anywhere or worked on themselves that its just natural to judge and slag people about their sexuality. So Be it s,bi,l,g, watever…. if u love someone fuck what anyone else thinks,go for it & if in the process someone gets depressed etc.. thats their stuff.
This posts for all u lovers out !

custom order for a sister

Recently  a really good friend of mine has had quite alot of pain in his family, His parents had an accident and really their lucky to be alive. Family is so important and for me when My Dad was very ill last year It brought us all so much closer. He asked me to make this for his sister for Xmas gift. He Wanted it simple and like the one I had made before for friend.He wanted the same surround & sister embedded. The paper & text are different ( so Its not the exact same) I dont want to make the same piece in custom orders ever the same.

Its a pleasure & I’m blessed to be trusted to do this.
