One of the most wonderful gifts...

One of the most wonderful gifts the stone world has gifted me is the children.
I had no idea when I start cutting stones
that I would have the opportunity to be connected to so many amazing kids!
To be a part of their lives over the years is exquisite!
They started with their first beads in many different ways
Their mama wearing a birthing necklace when they where born
or being gifted by a friend for their birthday.
Many where gifted their first beads by their pre-school teacher Gina of Harmony.
Gina comes to the studio every year
to pick out a stone for each child that is "graduating" from Harmony...
she calls it giving them their wings.
Many have added to their bead necklaces every year, on birthdays or special moments...
A first performance, graduating from grade school, or the arrival of their moon cycle.
To watch the pieces grow as they have...
so good.
The love and appreciation I have for the these amazing beings
who continually break my heart open with their beautiful hearts is unmeasurable.
So much gratitude for these unexpected years of connection and love.
