I have designed some body art jewelry that can be worn in other parts of your body besides the norm. I have some unique items that are still in the development phase of creation. They will need to be tested and qc’d before I will post the pics but within the next week or so you should be seeing some of these designs. Keep in mind that all my jewelry is one of a kind. I don’t make any two pieces alike. So with that said please take a look at some of the items I have posted and I will add new items as I create them. I would love to make your individual items as well so if there is a few pieces that you like that may need some alteration before it fits your style please contact me and I will do my best to fulfill your unique jewelry desire.

Thank you again to all the people who made this information available to me.
Through the years I have spent many hours learning about stones. Some of the information I have found is in books, online, and even word of mouth from some friends who do lapidary work. Thank you to all of you who have helped to build my knowledge base. I appreciate having and being able to share this information with more people. One of the websites I found the most informative is healingcrysatals.net I have found several other informative sites and unfortunately don’t remember the names of them. If you recognize information that may have come from you, please let me know and I will add you to this list. Thank you for putting this information where I could find it. Hope everyone has a great day!
I started making jewelry when I was 10 years old, when my parents brought me a shoe box full of broken jewelry and beads. I knew nothing of jewelry except how to wear it. Through trial and error I learned about tool marks and the specialty tools that are required to make jewelry. I am always adding new tools to the list of tools I already have. I started designing my own jewelry when I realized that most jewelry is made in mass. I don’t want to walk into some kind of function and see 3 or 4 of the same earrings or necklaces on other people, I want to have unique and one of a kind jewelry, something that people notice. I started making pearl pieces when a dear friend of mine asked for a pearl necklace, “something that is not my grandmothers pearls”, So she could wear pearls without worrying about losing her family heirloom.
The name is derived from its occurrence at the Achates River in southwestern Sicily. Banded Chalcedony The appearance of the stone is waxy and soft. Almost always translucent and occasionally transparent. Agates are grounding stones. They help obtain a better physical/emotional balance. They work to raise consciousness. Builds self-confidence.
Agate comes in many different colors. Sometimes its banded or lacey. agates come from all over the world even wood can be agateized. I enjoy using agate just handling them make me feel better and more positive like in item 201003.
I have spent the last few weeks learning about networking. So I thought it was time for something a little different. I am now trying to learn as much as I can about grants. How to apply, what is needed to apply and where to apply. So much information out there it seems a little overwhelming. I still have a lot of reading and a lot more writing to do before I am ready to apply. I will keep you posted as to what I’ve learned and helpful hints I’ve found in the process. I believe that it is important to learn something new every day. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
I am learning this networking thing.I had no idea that there were so many options out there for putting all this info together. I have been thanking GOD everyday for the help I have been getting from Mrs. Susan, from http:// beyondart.info If it wasn’t for her expertise in this sort of thing I wouldn’t be blogging right now. Big shout out to Mrs.Susan THANK YOU!!!
