self portrait challenge ~ black & white {3}

One of the suggestions for this months black & white theme on the Self Portrait Challenge was to capture scenes from our life. This is a portrait of me sitting Indian style up against my drafting board, making a necklace for a dear customer. That necklace is now tucked away in its padded envelope and on its way to Minnesota. I love knowing that the gems that I once held in my hands and poured loving energies to is later adorning the neck of a goddess I have never met (in most cases, that is...i do know some of my boho gals).

I have received a few fun emails from customers that have had magical things happen to them while wearing my Boho jewels. One in particular was wearing my Boho Zen Prosperity necklace and was blessed with some financial goodness and a few lessons in between. This is exactly what I want to create with my business. I desire my creations, whether they are gems, pastels or photography, to touch others individually with whatever they need for their chosen path. It's never been just about monetary things for me and my business. It's much more about the cosmic connections behind it all.

Lately I have found myself neglecting my jewelry designs. In the beginning, I was planning on switching the designs up every few months or so but my inspiration shifted and my photography happened. I am still trying to figure out what to do next. I think it is time for a refresher with my jewelry section but I am the type of person that needs to be inspired and not forced when it comes to my creations.

Right now my heart is with my photography business but even writing about my jewelry and giving it the attention I am in this moment, I am getting the urge to visit a bead store and see where it takes me.

Is that the Law of Attraction at work again? It seems to surprise me now and then.
