I have a beautiful beaded Moonstone jewelry in the shop.

One of my most favorite stones is moonstone. 

It is believed to represent magic of the moon, and to be a traveler's stone for protection. 

It has subtle moon-like sheen, and the name is derived from that pretty quality of the stone. 

While the most common color of moonstone you will see is translucent milky white with blue reflections, there are other varieties. 

For this bracelet, I am using a beautiful earthy grey moonstone, that has specks of silverfish specks incapsulated in it, it is still translucent and plays in the light in a wonderful way. 

I added colors of flower meadows I have seen around mt. Shasta, the mountain known for its power.

I found the power of Shasta to be in it's tranquil beauty, in it's pure surroundings - the air is crisp, the flowers are colorful and plentiful, and the trees are magnificent. 

I think of it as a magical place, if you visited it, you know exactly what I am talking about. 

I also used pearls, amethyst beads and high quality glass seed beads in gorgeous colors. 

I have this bracelet for sale in the Moon Sister Beads shop, where you can see more pictures.

Connecting the beads

Hello! I hope you are having a great Sunday. I hope that I still have interested readers and guests, even though I, as it sometimes happens, have deviated from blogging for quite some time. I will be honest, I didn't want to give up this place, because I feel I spent a good amount of time here, learning blogging. I can't say I am a writer, but I love and want to share some pictures of my work, a little of my thoughts, and connect with others.

Recently I have moved to Rouge Valley in South Oregon. East coast to West coast, yeah! So, past couple of month had been very frustrating, to say at least... but you know what? I love it! Every day I wake up to a challenge, trying to work out some routine in the midst of the moving hassle, and I can tell you, that this situation gives me extra boost of adrenaline, I feel like. I've been sitting on many ideas and have a couple of goals for the nearest future, which I feel great about, and now I am able to start transforming them into a reality. 

For now, let me announce, that this blog is dedicated to the art of beading, my creative process and its results. I would LOVE to connect with you.
