Embers and Ash
Embers and Ash
[For sale here on Etsy!]
Dark and bright red Czech crystals glow between ash grey catseye beads, in spirals of gunmetal black seed beads. 18 inches, all woven by hand.
I've fallen pretty far from my roots of seed bead weaving. And after reorganizing and cleaning up my supply bins last season, I still can't find my collection of beading thread. I did find a TON of seed beads, so I'll have new gear made eventually :-)

October, a Job Hunting Talisman
October,
Job Hunting Talisman!
[For sale here on Etsy]
A light piece of turquoise colored howlite, wire wrapped, hangs from a chain of Czech glass beads in greens, blues, and browns. Also includes bronze pressed glass leaves and findings. The necklace is 17 inches long with a lobster clasp, and the pendant adds 2 inches.
Howlite works with the fifth chakra, at the base of the throat, which corresponds with communication and expression. It is also said to relieve stress and anxiety, calming the mind. Thus it would be excellent to wear at a job interview ;-)

Mythpunk Volume One, an Etsy Treasury!
Mythpunk, Volume One!
Mythology, magic, & mayhem, for home and body.
Treasuries are a lot easier to put together now than when Etsy first launched them. Didn't they used to only have a limited number of slots available?
I'll probably make a few more before long. Its refreshing to hawk someone else's work instead of my own. Comment with a link to your Etsy shop if you'd like me to consider your work for future Treasuries ;-)

Stringing Beads, Lighting Candles
For the past couple of months I've been working on jewelry again, but also looking around the online "scene" at what's been going on while I was on hiatus.
At the very beginning of my tenure as a jewelry businessperson, I worked mainly with Pagan jewelry and making talismans. It didn't work out so well at the time, unfortunately. But now I'm a bit older, maybe wiser, and it looks like there is a community that might be more interested in that kind of "craft" work ;-)
I spent a few years researching stone, gem, and metal lores. Followed by alchemical study in college. I also have some knowledge on color therapy, chakra work, and totem lore that could use some polishing up.
Like sterling silver, knowledge can tarnish if you don't wear it often enough. So I'm going to start putting these techniques back into practice.
Keep an eye out, I'm probably going to reorganize my Etsy shop a little bit, and edit some of the item descriptions along these lines.
As visual charms and cues go, jewelry can be a huge kicker. Regardless of whether or not it is actually blessed or charged. Its an everyday sort of magic that I think people take too much for granted.
Strategic Sorcery just wrote up an excellent post on the subject, with men's fashions rather than jewelry, but the same general idea: The Magic of the Necktie.
Stay tuned for more shinies!

Aventurine Dream
Aventurine Dream
[For sale here on Etsy!]
A nicely speckled piece of tumbled aventurine, wire wrapped by hand into a fine pendant, hangs from a chain of bronze colored pressed glass, dark green Czech glass, and more aventurine beads. The chain is 18 inches long, with a lobster clasp, and the pendant adds 2 inches.
Aventurine takes its name from the Italian words "a ventura" meaning "by chance" and is often used for good luck, gambling, and to attract wealth. As a green stone, it corresponds with the heart chakra, wards off anxiety and encourages positive attitudes.
