Making Resin Angel Pendants~show and tell

Just a quick (ish!) video before I took the bull by the horns and set the designs in resin. I don't know what I was so scared of, it was REALLY easy! I think what frightened me was that you've ony got 45 minutes once the resin is mixed with the hardener....but actually I only needed 15 minutes to do it. Sorted! I will definately be doing more of these, it was FUN!

New images for Angel Healing Pendants (part 1)

Hey all, hope your weekend has been full of laughter and relaxation. 

I've been finishing off some designs (or mini paintings) for my 'Angel Healing Wearable Art' collection.

The first four are dry. I've done 7 Archangel designs and then I will have one design representing Frigga, the Norse Goddess of Fertility and Divination. I think we can all relate to Her, She's THE life force of creation!

Through my research, I have found that there is a huge interest in Angels out there. I myself have had positive, personal experiences with my own Guardian Angel and it has lead me to believe that these forces are truly ones that are all around us, guiding, protecting and offering life reforming energies that we can all tap into despite our particular religious beliefs.

These pendants are going to be set in resin and attached to cord so they can be worn on the body as both decorative and spiritual pieces.

Here are the first four images. I will be setting them in resin this week. 

Chamuel:

 Key Word ''Joy''. Other associations: love, comfort, uplifting, healing, emotional balance, anti-stress.
Colours that radiate Chamuel's energy: red, orange, pink, silver.

Jophiel:

Key Word ''Beauty''. Other associations: art and artistic pursuits, ideas, inspiration and energy, connection to spirit.
Colours that radiate Jophiel's energy: pink, blue and silver.

Michael:

Key Word ''Strength''. Other associations: protection, courage, truth, integrity, detoxing.
Colours that radiate Michael's energy: red, bright blue, silver.

Raphael:

Key Word ''Healer''. Other associations: Love, tenderness, compassion, safe travel and comfort.
Colours that radiate Raphael's energy: green, blue, yellow.

The images are representational of Angels' wings and halo with radiance of colour flowing from the centre. 

Each colour scheme is my own interpretation of each Angel's essence, for example in the above design, healing and comfort, green suggests healing and blue comfort and calm.

I really hope that one or more of them draw you in! Think about what you need in your life the most and choose your Angel image so that you can carry around that energy as you go about your daily life. I am sure that you will begin to feel the Angelic vibes!!!!

UPDATE! These are all on sale now from Etsy and our Online Shop

New products for Christmas/Yuletide. Gift Tags!

(Please note: As for November 2012, all my Yuletide/Christmas products will be available from my Etsy Shop. Please CLICK HERE)

Good afternoon or evening (or even morning) to all my readers. It's really freezing in my little house today and my hands are cold (typing fast helps thaw them out!) but I've been creatin'!

Please take a look at this pack of gift tags.

There are 10 in a pack, 5 of which have the message 'Merry Yule' and 5 which have the message 'Joy'.

Each tag is decorated with sparkly glitter and has a lovely silky red thread attached for easy attachment to your gifts. 

The envelope is also hand made by me and contains the tags and protects them until you need to use them. A red ribbon is attached to keep the envelope secure. It's still a few weeks to Christmas so they can be stored safely.

Also.......

My fiance and I have created this beautiful 2 layered butterfly. We painted the butterfly design and then printed it out different sizes onto gloss photo paper. 

The butterflies also look great framed. We will be showing you what it looks like in such a frame and we will offer them framed as well.

We think it's fabulous and we will be producing a variety of colour schemes.

Please email me BY CLICKING HERE to order a Butterfly card.

Please keep checking our link, or look out for the next blog post.

Keep Warm and Cosy, Blessings!

New range of Handmade Silver & Crystal Healing Jewellery

This is my first listing in the Jewellery Section of the online shop. I am really happy! I love making Jewellery, it's something so very personal and spiritual. Wearing metals and crystals from the Earth against your skin, feeling its energy, it becomes like a tatoo that you can take off and change whenever you need to....

I graduated from University of Central England as a qualified Jeweller and Silversmith, but because I went on to teach, I have never had the opportunity to really pursue this passion of mine. Now I can!

This bracelet has been designed to encourage fertility and creativity.

It is made of sterling silver wire which I have shaped lovingly to give four decorative elements. These are threaded onto four decorative and functional elements which have two types of crystal chip attached.

Crystals work best when kept next to the skin as the skin absorbs the crystal's energies.

Rose Quartz is said to be the stone of love and encourages peacefulness and emotional balance, allowing the perfect state for heightened fertility. 

Carnelian, the brown/beige crystal, is said to aid fertility by increasing inner receptivity. It also facilitates concentration and balances creativity, so is perfect for meditation of any kind, but especially when wanting to become pregnant.

This bracelet also has sterling silver fluted Rombo beads and a silver Carabiner clasp.

I am working on a 'Fertility Gift Set' in which this bracelet will be included. The sets will consist of a Greetings card taken from my original painting of the Norse Goddess of Fertility, the bracelet, an affirmation card to carry in a wallet or purse and a Chrysophrase crystal upon which to meditate, which is a wonderful aid to fertility and creativity.

I would like to post some photos of the bracelet, as my online shop only lets me post two, one of those being a mini 'thumbnail' photo that you can't really see at all........

So here is my bracelet! Expect more, and very soon! 

To place an order, please go to my online shop:

Blessings,

Serena

Any ideas of Christmas stocking fillers?

I have just sent out an order for 2 packs of cards using one of my favourite paintings I did a while ago, and two of my favourite quotes. 

It has got me to thinking.....If people have a favourite quote or affirmation, and want to see it during the course of the day to uplift themselves...where would they have it?

• on a sticky note on their computer screen
• in their bag/wallet
• in a book as a bookmark
• on a bracelet....the perfect place, as a necklace isn't seen by the wearer
• fridge magnet

Are there any other places or objects that could be transformed for a mantra moment?

Here are my two cards, recently sent out:

''According to Buddhism, the life of all beings~animal or otherwise~is precious and all have the same rights to happiness.It is certain that birds, wild animals~all the creatures inhabiting our planet are our companions. They are part of the world, we share it with them.''

The 4th Dalai Lama

''Look deep into Nature and then you will understand everything better.''

Albert Einstein
