beads made from herbs
organic
wild crafted
hand sculpted
infused with aromatics

Locally harvested herbs, hand sculpted into wearable beads. Infused with essential oils, flower essences and gem elixirs, formed into beautiful symbolic shapes. Providing you with intentional jewelry.

Scented herb beads and rose beads have their roots in rosaries, during ancient times people made scented prayer amulets such as rosaries. It was believed the fragrance from the beads during prayer would reach the nose of god, and god would be pleased. and with a pleased god, prayers would be answered.
 
Uniquely packaged in corked recycled glass to preserve the natural aromatic perfume the beads emit. Thoughtful symbolic design to invoke a myriad of emotions, energetics, magic and perhaps answered prayers (plus plastic free).

Providing wearable perfume diffusers, swaying fragrance near the curve of your neck. Starting with a base of fragrant whole herbs, flowers and spices pummeled and blended with natural fragrance, sculpted into symbolic shapes creating wearable altars.

Yes, this jewelry is fragrant and magical!

this new moon brought a lot of completion. i choose to be a warrior and stepped fiercely toward my full expression. i trust that i know what to do and that i have the training to to do it. i have been in flow for a good while, all under the guise of delegation.

i am abundant this fall, i have all that i need. i am set up! the women i have chosen to partner with are fierce, brilliant, focused women with vision and strength.
 
this fall i have decided to dream, think and create. by spring workshops will be available, an energetic trade page available and more outside warmer weather happenings. moon circle gatherings will also be coming back with marisa as the energetic usher. amaterasu is transforming children's health by educating young mothers about the toxicity of topical "baby products."

a gemini is the butterfly of the zodiac, gently floating above the tops of beautiful flowers, pollinating. and with the gentle pollination of the gemini comes the birth of a seed, lets name that seed an idea. with this idea the lovely flower community can grow, multiply and share its self with many gardens about town. all with the help of the communication master the gemini, talking, fluttering batting those lovely wings at the flowers - drinking in the sweetest nectar.

how can we apply this gemini moon to our everyday lives? simple, share your ideas, talk to everyone! one of those ideas might actually come to fruition and seed!

look at what florentina craft has been up to: (thank you gemini moon)
