Combing love of photography and jewelry

I decided to combine my love of photography with my love of designing jewelry and have been working on some necklaces. Here are a couple that I have gotten completed so far. They are reversible, with a different photograph on each side..... 2 necklaces in one :)

The larger one with the hematite and pearl beads is a photograph of a cactus flower that I photographed in Arizona. Each side has a different artistic effect.

The second necklace has the same cactus flower on one side and a photograph of a Colorado mountain scene on the other.

I hope you enjoy them!

Husband's Graduation

On a personal note - My husband Wayne went back to school for Truck Driving, and passed his test for his CDL yesterday. He is looking forward to Driving Over the Road and seeing more of the United States. He will be doing Orientation and then going on for 6 weeks or more of training with a Truck Driving Company. I will be missing him lots!

Quote on Creativity

“If you're having difficulty coming up with new ideas, then slow down. For me, slowing down has been a tremendous source of creativity. It has allowed me to open up -- to know that there's life under the earth and that I have to let it come through me in a new way. Creativity exists in the present moment. You can't find it anywhere else.”

-- Natalie Goldberg

Welcome to my Blog

I want to welcome you to my new blog for Earth Blessings Jewelry.

I just love to create jewelry. I fall in love with my pieces and sometimes have a very hard time parting with my new creations.

I use a lot of Semi Precious Stones in my jewelry. This necklace is one I did with all metal beads, including copper, pyrite, pewter, and hematite. I also loved the Spirals and did a little researching on the internet and discovered that Spiral symbols have been around for thousands of years and have meanings of Spiritual Journey, Cosmic Force, Eternal Life, Expanding Force and New Beginnings.

I hope you enjoy the newest creation!
