Eyes on the Stars, Feet on the Ground
Happy Monday pretty people! I’ve been thinking and brainstorming about ways to implement things that matter to me into Gypsy Caravan. As I’ve gotten older and have learned more about vibrations and how they relate to us and the universe as a whole, it made me realize that I want to try to make jewelry out of beads and findings that are made from real and natural materials as much as possible.
For the past 5 years, I’ve been making jewelry using polymer clay, resin, and acrylic because it’s cost effective, easy to manipulate, and there’s a wide range of colors to choose from. These materials are readily available and easily adaptable. But, these materials are not biodegradable and can create unnecessary waste.
I read something that was talking about the frequencies of fabric. Natural fibers have a higher frequency than synthetic fibers. For me, I’d much rather drip myself in cotton, or linen than polyester or acrylic. Cotton is moisture wicking and breathable, while polyester or microfiber makes me sweat. (I avoid it at all costs!) I thought about this when it comes to jewelry as well. Obviously, we don’t normally make jewelry out of cotton, but we make it using natural stones, metals or gemstones- things that are grown from our earth. The way we feel good when we eat food from the earth, we feel good when things touch us from the earth. The same way grounding is important, I think what we put on and in our bodies is important as well.
I want to learn a new way to make jewelry that I love, that will last a long time, is beautiful and is as natural as possible so that when you wear it, it helps you vibe higher and feel good. I want to spread Aloha and all the tropical Hawaiian vibes through this new collection.
What do you think? Would you be interested in seeing something like this come to fruition?
