these were and accidental success! thats usually how it happens right? i hammered these sterling circles, and did not like the off balance essence they produced.
one day, in a
light mood and craving a
freedom, i wanted to use the shells. I did not think that the lack of perfection in the 'circles' would be accepted by customers, so I used them for myself.
Since then, more people have asked me to reproduce these than i could imagine!
Not only was this a creative success; but it was a life lesson. Often times I feel as though we see all of our imperfections and dont consider ourselves "balanced" or "flawless" enough for others. feeling unworthy we tend to sell ourselves short; and not put ourselves out there.
Life Lesson: God showed me that as others saw the earrings as amazing and desireable (not noticing the 'flaws' I did). This is how others see us and most of all how he ALWAYS sees us. as his perfect children.
Thank you: ...for letting me share with you, my personal growth as well as my gift of design. I share these things; because I feel as though we all desire to grow and be seen as special and inspiring. And I find Joy in sharing these epiphanies of my own with others. even if its just meant for one person to receive; its worth it. I know they are 'just earrings" but the are my way of learning some simple lessons.
Thats why I think its so neat that we are all different!
anywhoo; they are fun and free earrings; regardless of the depth you get from them.
