Beautiful stones.

I am always in amazement when I see beautiful gems and stones. To think they are and were a rock and at one time most likely a dull grey, brown or even a black rock found in the dirt or in the side of a cave, etc... The journey of stones... the hands they touch... all the way to my hands... I just love the whole process of the journey and feel blessed to work with premier world class gem dealers that work only with conflict-free stones and also give special benefits like health care and higher wages to their cutters.

Into the night.

I find the nights most calming for me lately, actually they have always have been. The night is a place of creativity for me. A place where my mind can relax and be free so designing streams out of me like a rapid river. Most of my charms were "born" into the wee hours of night when it is still outside.

Happy Halloween!

This is one of the many pumpkins I carved. I hope everyone has a great Halloween~! Jes
