Cremains & Resin Orb set in sterling silver 🤍

Each memorial piece holds a memory, has a story to tell; a whole life behind it… 🌀

The more I dive into this process, the more I realize it’s my soul work. It’s not one without tears or heartache but it holds so much gravity and importance to me. ✨

Until the passing of my Grandmother in 2023, death was a terrifying, panic-inducing topic for me. I don’t know what shifted in me during that time, but watching her transition from body to spirit was one of the hardest yet profound things I have ever witnessed. I’ve always understood that we do not get out of here alive, but I don’t think I had quite accepted that requirement. I’m not saying I welcome death or it’s something to be celebrated, but instead of shying away from the topic, I am walking in a place where I choose to have that dialogue and to help others move into a place where grief does not feel so sharp, excruciating and debilitating. I’m not pushing people to move on - because that’s not how grief works. I’m extending a hand to help people cope with their grief and to exist alongside it. My offering is through the creation of a talisman so that one can carry that memory, that story, that LIFE.

I’m so glad people saw my potential. I’m so glad I’m here and can offer this service to my community. I’m so glad you all continued to ask until I could not deny this path any longer. I’m just so sorry I did not get here sooner. 🥹

Soooo…. Yeah. It’s neck brace time. I’ve kept quiet for a while but now I feel like I need to do a little sharing since it is impacting the flow in my studio 😣

I’ve been in pain for over a month with what I thought was a frozen shoulder and some correlated neck pain, but it seems like all the issues started from my neck. *sigh* So it’s neck brace and regular Chiro visits for me and then we decide if I go get some scans of my neck as this could be an issue with disks vs. just a pulled/strained muscle. 😢

This means I am on light duty at the studio; so little to no hammering & sawing. Ooof. I’m already behind with custom orders and I am trying to stay the course - but it is starting to create a bit of panic. I’m sorry if you are waiting on me! I am doing my very best while also taking care of myself. 🫠

Anyway - thanks for understanding 😘😘🤗🤗

BUT I will still be participating in this weekend’s Vermont Crafts Council Open Studio! I will have lots of work on display, you can see where the jewelry is made and I will be doing the demonstrations that I am able to. 10-5 both Saturday & Sunday ❤️✨🍁
