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.
