Welcome back!

Hello readers, followers and friends. I am back!  As a consequence of being a mum of a 2 year old boy full of energy, curiosity and an inexorable need for attention and connection, I am very busy during the day time. So in order to allow my creative outlet to flow, I am choosing to stay up until late and create. Finally, i have the energy to do so. 

As well as producing some pieces of jewelry and other bits and bobs, I am also updating this blog and have started a Facebook page. I haven't managed to stay for very long in the computer or to be focus for too long in anything since I was pregnant. I am so glad to find the energy and space again! I wish you will enjoy what comes out of it :)

Silver

Silver beams net me in dreams,

While waning tides expose me.

O shimmering mistress of the night,

This gypsy heart howls to you.

Abandon me in your shadowy seas.

(From Cosmic Tribe Tarot)

Fantasy

To the south, a spark ignites the magic wand

Standing ready in the forest

The shamans gathered on a mountain top

Know their call has been answered.

One by one, they release their spirits

And fly to the flames.

To the flames!

Where they circle again

Around the sacred fire

Before the alchemical flames.

They flail and dance,

Melding the sexual embrace of the body

With the driving force of the mind.

(From The Cosmic Tribe Tarot)

Burlesco

Que entiendo cuando encuentro un innuendo?

Payasos y actores que danzan la vida

Un aro y un látigo.

Dulces doncellas, vampiras, panteras…

Todo está escondido o dormido.

Latente.

Aparece en sueños

Y pierdo el aliento por escapar,

Correr como el viento.

Espejo.

Si miro, veo es parte de mí,

Empolvada, gastada, alienada

Y la abrazo con una tierna sonrisa

Soy yo. Mil formas, todo.


In the Forest

Life seeds the universe,

Sprinkles the milky way –

Mycelium forms.

Life seeds the universe,

Rains down on earth –

I evolve.

Life seeds the universe,

I witness the elements –

Eternal rebirths.

(From Cosmic Tribe Tarot)

Necklace length guide // Guia de largada de collares

It can be tough selecting jewellery online when you can't try on the necklaces on personally. Here is this necklace length guide to help you with your handmade jewellery selection:


A choker, collar or petite length would be around 14" to 15"

Industry standard length starts at a 16" length. This size fits most and is the most popular jewelry length!

18" or 20" is a good choice if you prefer a looser fit.

20" to 24" lets pendants and charms hang a little more freely, giving a more casual vibe.

Over 30" may allow you to double the length and gives a lot of versatility.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Puede ser difícil seleccionar collares online cuando no puedes probarlos. Aquí te ofrezco esta guía para ayudarte en la selección.

Una gargantilla o collar ajustado seria alrededor de 35’6cm-38.1cm de largada.

45’7cm o 50’8cm es una buena elección si prefieres algo más suelto.

De 50’8cm a 61cm permite colgantes y dan una vibración más casual.

Más de 76’2cm permite doblar la largada y da mucha versatilidad.
