"A heavy numbness seized her limbs, thin bark closed over her breast, her hair turned into leaves, her arms into branches, her feet so swift a moment ago stuck fast in slow-growing roots, her face was lost in the canopy. Only her shining beauty was left." (The Metamorphoses)

It's been an emotionally and mentally demanding week.
For a few days I struggled to get in touch with my creative flow, I felt a bit sluggish. I missed the refuge creativity gives me.
So today I marched to the workspace with the intention to create. Only create. Without expectations.
Just with the will to make something beautiful and soak in the process.

I wanted this ring to feel alive, like a branch wrapping around the finger. I wanted it to be light in weight, but with a certain presence.
For it to be grace and embrace and escape and beautiful change.

It features a beautiful faceted Amazonite gemstone, and it's completely hand fabricated - this means nothing here is cast, the leaves are cut from silver sheet, soldered, carved and shaped.

It's a one of a kind statement of graceful feminine strength.
It's embracing the change and being open to its beauty.
Even if it feels like the change is shattering all we thought we knew about ourselves.
