Creative Pursuit

Fresh Water Pearls & Faceted Crystal Beads
Handmade Bracelet
I sometimes get stuck in the middle of finishing handcrafted projects and that’s when creative ideas start piling up.  Oftentimes, tensions are released through strings and beads circling in my hands.  The slow and tedious work of stringing is a humbling pursuit.  Loop by loop, moment after moment, the strings unfold the story behind every piece I am creating.  It offers a glimpse of synergy and joy.  Tensions dissipate as I focus on this small piece of art.  The process grounds me.  Each bead offers a new way to manifest imagery.  Each piece requires a tremendous amount of patience.  I sometimes indulge in these momentary thoughts and feelings.  I focus on and somehow appreciate the intricate process of unfolding where no perfection is required, only intention and creativity.  I make; I create; I reflect.  It offers joyous relief.  It’s a gift I continuously give myself – time to create and just be.  The work of my hand reminds me that tranquility is always possible in our collective pursuit of mindfulness.
