SubscribeI watched the doves feeding on my hillside this morning and sat there basking in the sounds they made. They coo and cluck. When it's time to go, they lift off in a flurry of feathers, which also makes an amazing sound. They just make me happy... which is why I keep tossing seed on that hill, to the frustration of those who would garden there.
With that peaceful feeling, and with those colors in mind, I sat down and made this bracelet and earrings. The center charm is a beautiful one of sterling silver. There are two smaller silver-toned charms and I can't vouch for their provenance. I'm hoping pewter. I added some ceramic doves -- two in flight and two resting... looking peaceful.
I added beads in blues and whites. I found some recycled glass beads that show off different shades of blue depending on how the light hits them, and some more recycled glass beads of a frosty clear glass. There are crystals and artisan lampwork beads, as well. I like to think that the beads make up a peaceful sky of blue dotted with wispy clouds.
And then I thought peaceful thoughts. Of course, I usually do, aging hippie that I am.
You can see them in my store:

I hope they brings thoughts of peace to you, too.
