Here we have a handy guide to my line of talisman necklaces. An image of each style accompanied by their meanings. If by chance you have an idea for a new style you'd like to see or perhaps purchase an existing one that may no longer be available in my shop, please message me here.  The Strong Future Talisman The bow and arrow has been a long standing symbol of strength for those who choose to look forward and never back. This necklace includes a labradorite bead which will prove useful in times of change in that it’s known for its power to impart strength and perseverance.  The Unity Talisman The handshake, a symbol of friendship, greeting and coming together is accompanied with a garnet bead, known for its healing powers and enduring strength.. The intent of this necklace is to remind its wearer of the importance of coming together in a world so divided. We need to remember that we have more common concerns than differences and that it’s what we have in common that matters most, for those commonalities will have the most positive impact on our future.  The Awareness Talisman Being both feral and timid, rabbits are a true symbol of cleverness. They do not move in a predictable manner, alway zig zagging to avoid capture while simultaneously maintaining an acute awareness of their surroundings making them the perfect animal to symbolize one's preparedness for an uncertain future. This necklace also has an amethyst bead known for its healing powers which may prove useful as we move forward in an uncertain world.  Love Rules Talisman A talisman to remind us that good judgement and decision making must always be guided by kindness. This piece shows a heart, symbolizing love and compassion for all that is good, placed above a crown, which symbolizes authority and judgement. This piece also has a garnet bead, known for its healing powers and enduring strength.  This “Gadfly” talisman is designed to ward off pests and other distractions that prevent you from leading a cheerful and productive life. A gadfly refers to any of various flies, such as a stable fly or warble fly, that bite or annoy domestic animals and livestock. However, the term can also refer to a person who persistently annoys or provokes others with criticism, schemes, demands, requests, etc. In addition to the gadfly image on the pendant (because it takes one to know one) there’s a bead made of genuine onyx which is known to confuse and repel pests.
I was given the honor of participating in another season of Fashion Fete International, a weekly web series focusing on the local fashion scene. This has been a fun, challenging, as well as educational experience indeed. Because of covid-19 related social distancing, we had to film this outside on a cold November morning with no hands on styling. I look forward to better times when I can do projects like this with better lighting and up close styling. That being said, I'm very pleased with my models. Jose Ariel Diaz and Toni Barajas, such professionals (Please contact me if you'd like to hire them). Here's a link to the full Fashion fete episode. Even though the holidays were quite scaled back due to covid-19 concerns and all the other factors that came about in 2020, here on My Pink Planet we still managed to stay festive and celebrate with a bit of style. During this time of social distancing I've found it emotionally helpful to teach myself new skills. One such skill is the art of making videos, which I quite enjoy. So here are a few experimental pieces I thought I'd share with you. ~Enjoy and let me know what you think. During this era of Covid-19, I haven’t been doing any craft shows and adjusting to the isolation of my studio has caused quite a creative block. So when Rhode Island Fashion Week asked me if I could make a video for their online series "Fashion Fete" I thought, this is the perfect motivation to finally teach myself to make videos. As I forge on to make my business more “virtual” I feel this is a step in the right direction. So, in the spirit of virtual marketing, I present to you my first self made fashion video. |
