'grounded' amulet - mjd 2013
claw of a badger (ethically sourced)
raw rough amber
gorgeous stone from montana
handspun fibers
grounded
where your materials come from,
your attitude
and emotional state of being while working,
all affect the energy of your finished work.
i fully believe in the power that working on a piece
and working through emotional conflict
and confusion
holds.
knowing that each can mutually resolve
to the benefit of the other.

i don't often begin knowing where something like this piece
will lead.
but upon completion,
i get to see it with different eyes
hear the story it wants to tell.
and always
always
i get to give thanks
for the use of my hands
to work with and through
that
which i think,
feel
and notice.
