Exotic Minerals- yummy!!

I have been spending some time looking at stones lately.  Ever since I gave away my Dendritic Agate pendant- I have been obsessed with Dendritic Agate.  It started after I bought a new stone to replace the one I gave away.  Let me first say the boy am I glad now that I did give it away since I would never have found all of these other stones if I still had my original pendant.
Anyhoo.... When minerals grow within each other I find it super interesting.  I have run across Pyrite in Quartz, Apatite in Quartz, Epidote in Prehnite and so much more.
They are all amazing to me because they are like looking through a window into a mini universe.  So I will be gobbling them up when I can and putting together a new line called "Windows."  Photos coming soon...

Home All Day!

So I've been stuck home all day with Bronchitis instead of working away at the studio. I've been watching endless hours of TV while coughing and wheezing on the couch in my pajamas and brand new John Fluevogs.  The shoes came with a bunch of Dum Dums that my crazy cat Hannah stole and hid all over the apartment.  She seems to really like the watermelon flavored one.  She's been carrying it around by the stick - verrrry cute.

In my boredom I organized all of my stones by color and shape.  I've been meaning to do that for ages and even put them into smaller little baggies.  Can you say OCD?  Whatever- I had to do something while my ass was getting wider on the couch.

I'm really excited for Brooklyn Indie Market on Sunday as I will be debuting my new rings and pendants.  Didn't get to finish some stuff at the studio today but I still have plenty of new things to show.

And -I'll being wearing my super cool new shoes!

Come See Me at Brooklyn Indie Market!!

CRAZY!!!

So I was at work on Saturday and as I get out of one appointment I find out that my last appointment of the day will be with a celebrity that I really admire.  Seeing as I get tongue tied when talking to strangers- I was praying that I didn't come off as a spaz.  As the session progressed my jewelry came up in the conversation.  Normally I have a bunch of stuff to show with me.  The first thing I do when I get to work is pull out whatever I  made that week and show my friend Rene.  Not that day. Anyways... the only thing I had to show was my favorite necklace.  It is a huge rectangular piece of Dendritic Agate set in silver.  It looks like a window with a beautiful view of a "tree" in it.  She really liked it and as she was admiring it I had an overwhelming feeling that she "needed"it and should have it. So I gave it to her.  Is that crazy?  After I did that was like "Ruby- what did you just do?" I definitely miss it as I wore it everyday.

This morning I looked up the meaning of the stone. Dendritic Agate is one the most powerful and protective stones for travelers. It protects the wearer from accident and fatigue during travel.  She has been doing a crazy amount of flying.  Now knowing the meaning of the stone I feel so much better that I gave it away.  It was like the stone knew that someone needed it more than me.
