Although I haven't had a lot of time to myself lately (the hubby is still deployed), I did take some time last night and made a couple of playful pendants out of quartz.I bought this strand when I was playing around with different ideas for my wedding jewelry, so it's about time I did something with these.
When I first started working with wire, I was obsessed with neat, tight wraps. Honestly, that gets boring after a while. It's a lot more fun to play with the wire and make something different... however, artistic creativity should not be confused with sloppy carelessness. Typically, even the artsy wire wraps start out with the neat, tight wraps to ensure the integrity of the piece.
Anyway, clear quartz is considered (by those who believe in the power of healing stones) as the "master healer." It treats physical conditions as well as emotional... but in particular, it is said to calm its wearer, aid concentration and memory, and help motivate positive action.
Doesn't that sound perfect for school?
Hee hee. My son is a fidgety kid. He is constantly talking and asks a million questions. I doubt that would stop if I somehow managed to create a quartz piece he would actually carry. But, it's a nice thought, right?
