“Let the beauty we love, be what we do
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground”

Rumi

Surrounded by nature, living  within the circle of the changing seasons,
has been the source of my inspiration for these greeting cards.

They reflect an appreciation and gratitude to the Divine,
of a Creation  we take for granted.

Each card has a Jalalludin Rumi quote on the back,
with my Persian signature after Rumi
whose mystical verses are an equal source of joy,
resonating with the images on the front.

The I dissolves into nothingness……
    as one learns of the “hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground”

 Custom Jewelry With Stones and Pearls

My love of beautiful crystals, stones, and pearls began many years ago. 

Most of the stones in my collection are specimen items, just as they came from the Earth.  But I also love wearing jewelry made from beautiful stones, and so began collecting unusual pieces bit by bit.

I love collecting hand made pieces, because commercially available jewelry tends to cut, facet, and polish stones down to tiny bits one can barely see.

I saw a need for beautiful pieces of jewelry, made with natural stones, at affordable prices.  I had some design ideas I wanted to create, and so I began making necklaces, bracelets, and earrings with semi-precious stones and pearls  in 2007.

I firmly believe that every piece I make already has an intended owner, who will eventually find it, fall in love with it, and make it their own.

Often a buyer will commission a particular piece for themselves or for a loved one, using stones they love, and I am always happy to make a custom piece to order.

I love working with all forms of quartz, including rutilated quartz, tourmalinated quartz, citrine, amethyst, rose quartz, smoky quartz, and clear quartz.  I also work with garnets, lapis lazuli, turquoise, tourmaline, carnelian, agates, and freshwater pearls.

Crystals and gemstones are full of light.  They hold a special fascination and beauty.

It is such joy to work with them.
