By The Sea

Let this set of meditation beads take you away to a beautiful shoreline as you touch the fresh water pearls and the soothing coolness of the pebble shaped Sodalite stones. One of the properties of Sodalite is that is can deepen the meditation experience. It is an excellent stone for the mind bringing peace by eliminating confusion. The set is constructed of 3 sections of 7 beads each. The Celtic drop pendant is symbolic of rebirth which is a quality of the element of water. The set measures about 3 inches around and is accented by pewter beads.  I love the uneven shape of this set. It's an interesting look. The uneven shapes of the stones remind me of some of the smooth stones I pick up as I walk along the beach when I visit California
I like making and selling these small bead sets because they are so versatile. I have used mine for meditation and also as part of one of my altars for inspiration and focus. They also make wonderful gifts for friends.

A Stitch In Time

As I was knitting away the other day, I came up with the idea of making some stitch markers for the magically minded. In order to make them "magical" I decided to use the same gemstones I use when making my meditation and prayer beads. I love the idea of being able to work with some tangible energy, even if I'm just knitting. Sometimes I might need the grounded energy of the carnelian stone to help me stay calm when I must once again FROG my project. Today I listed five new stitch marker sets with more to come. They will be themed sets with huge Celtic influence to many of them and most of them will be made with gemstones. These markers can be found in the Magical Trinket section of the shop
