I set a topic to think about, regarding resilience whilst working on a piece from the collection.
In this case it was being told in 2019 following traing accident, that an MRI showed a serious disk injury and that I needed another back op. I in no way suggest you don't take medical advice! I just decided I wasnt going to go down the surgery road so quickly. I asked what the dischage requirements were, the physios said what was required physivcallly for the end task, I completed it in much pain and went home to get back to full movement withion a week or so.
A previous back injury tauht me a lot about mindset, the importance of posture, core strength and just focusing on recoverinhg the hell up.
It's the physios eye rolling when I completed the discharge task tthat makes me smile.

Spider Vein Blue Stabliswed Turquoise Beads
Chinese Turquoise is a soft, opaque gemstone. Ranging from blue-green, to yellow-green with grey, black or brown veining . Much Chinese turquoise was used for artistic carving and jewellery, which has always been popular in the Orient. In China, Turquoise dates to the thirteenth century A.D. Although most brought from trade with the Persians, Turks, Tibetans, and the Mongols. Tibet had it's own source of turquoise usually a green cast, very hard stone with significant amount of spider webbing. The Tibetans highly revered turquoise and was used in many areas as currency.
Ancient doctors thought turquoise prevented injury through accident, and would place perfect stones over the eyes to prevent blindness. They also ground it into a powder to cure stomach disorders, internal bleeding, ailments of the hip and bites and stings. Turquoise is believed to protect the wearer from danger. In various countries, it is believed to fade when illness or danger is near. Another belief is that a fading stone indicates a lover's faithlessness or a friend's disaffection.
Turquoise is commonly impregnated with colourless oil or wax to improve colour and increase durability. Untreated turquoise will eventually turn green. As genuine Chinese turquoise is very expensive, reconstituted turquoise is made today. Crafted from real turquoise chips fused with other stones.
Turquoise is the birthstone for the month of December.
Black Frosted Onxy Beads
Onyx is belioeved to give strength. It's also believed to promotes vigour, steadfastness and stamina. Imparts self-confidence, helping you to be at ease in your surroundings. Onyx is believed to banish grief, enhances self-control and stimulates the power of wise decision-making.
Packaging
Awesome boxes and packaging are usually costed to the piece you buy and end up in a drawer or in the bin. So I decided to keep packaging simple, light and recyclable. So that you pay for what you actually wear.
Brass
It's a metal that has been used in so many pivotal ways, from navigation instruments assisting in discovering and mapping our world, to endless applications in between. It's not precious metal, but it is a significant one.
