Purple Beaded Dream Catcher Pendant

I now have one purple beaded dream catcher pendant available in my Etsy shop! It is made of pale purple, royal purple & silver Japanese glass seed beads, organic cotton thread, and natural Amethyst, Rose Quartz and White Moonstone beads - these crystals are known to prevent nightmares and promote restful sleep. 

In addition to wearing it as a pendant, it would also make a Great Wall hanging or Christmas tree ornament.

A little about dream catchers: According to some traditional Native American beliefs, the night air is full of dreams, some good, some bad. The bad dreams get caught in the web, and good dreams pass through the hole in the center. The good dreams are then guided down the feathers to dreamer below. In the morning when the sun comes up, the bad dreams that are caught in the web are destroyed by the light.

You can also special order this piece in your choice of colors and crystals. Just send me a private message on Etsy and let me know what you'd like:)

And here it is: 

In the last photo there are two dream catchers. The one on the right is the one for sale, the one on the left is my prototype, and I'm keeping it for myself :)

That's all for now. Ringo & I wish you all a wonderful weekend! ~

Two New Designs in Progress...

I've been working on 2 new pendant designs. The photos below are of my prototypes, which I will keep, but if they turn out well I will be making another one for my Etsy shop ^_^ 

The first design is a dream catcher! This one is turning out really well, and in fact, I am already working on the second one for shop, & will post it here when it's available  (probably later today or tomorrow)...

And my second new design is a little more whimsical - a mermaid! She looks a little funny at the moment, but I'm hoping when she's all finished she will be cute :) More pics of her to come...

WIP: Amethyst Faerie

I finally gave my poor little Amethyst Faerie doll some hair! I actually made her several months ago, started her last November, I believe. But, between injuries, classes, holiday stuff and trying to get my Etsy store going, it just seems like I never get to finish her. So I'm happy that she at least has hair now. And I do have a general idea for what I'd like to do for her dress, so I can start working on it between other projects. 

As always, she is made of Japanese glass seed beads, organic cotton thread & fiber fill. Her ball joints are made of real amethyst beads. In my imagination, Amethyst Faerie is actually made entirely of amethyst! But, realistically, that isn't possible, so I'm happy that I can at least incorporate some real amethyst into making her - I will probably put some small ones on her dress too. So, enough of that, here she is:

Crown Chakra Beaded Crystal Grid Healing Pendants

Finally, the Crown Chakra pendants are available in my Etsy shop! The crystals used on these pieces are Lepidolite, Amethyst, Seraphinite, Rainbow Moonstone and Clear Quartz. Here they are:

And with that, my series of chakra healing pendants is complete! I hope you like them ^_^ I used the set I made for myself to do a full chakra layout the day before yesterday. It was pretty intense, but I felt so good afterwards! It was really neat, I'm definitely going to use them for that again.

Now I am moving on to some other projects. I still need to finish my poor Amethyst Faerie doll! She is going to get hair first. And, I have some different crystal healing pendants in mind, they will be very different from the chakra pendants, but I think they will be a lot of fun! :D

Root Chakra Beaded Crystal Grid Healing Pendants

Root Chakra pendants are now available in my Etsy shop :). Crystals used for these grids are Black Obsidian, Red Jasper, Smokey Quartz and Picture Jasper. And here they are:

Sacral Chakra Beaded Crystal Grid Healing Pendants

Sacral chakra pendants are now available in my Etsy store ^_^ The crystals used are Fire Opal, Orange Aventurine, Sunstone & Spessartine Garnets.

Just posted these Solar Plexus Chakra pendants in my Etsy shop  ^_^ The crystals used are Baltic Amber (large pendant only), Rhodochrosite, Citrine, Golden Tigers Eye, and Peridot. And here they are:

Heart Chakra Beaded Crystal Grid Healing Pendants

I am officially relaunching my Etsy store!

I just added these Crystal Grid Healing Pendants for the Heart Chakra, available in 3 sizes.

The pendants are made of Japanese glass seed beads - all lined with silver or copper to amplify & conduct the energy of the crystals-, and organic cotton thread. The crystals are Rose Quartz, Rhodonite, Pink Tourmaline, and Pink Sapphire (pink sapphire is on large pendant only). The mandala design is on both sides of the pendants, and helps incorporate sacred geometry into the grid. So if you like them, or want more information, please see the listings at my Etsy shop, Viriditas Crystals . ^_^ And, keep checking back, I will be posting more pendants for sale in the very near future...

Kawaii Snegurochka & Snow Bunny

I finally got pictures of my 2 new dolls- sorry it took so long, it seems like I've been crazy busy lately!

This doll is inspired by the Russian fairy tales about Snegurochka. She is described as a beautiful maiden literally made of snow. She is usually portrayed with forest animals, most often a rabbit, so I made her friend Snow Bunny. This is a Kawaii version of Snegurochka, with a snowflake lace dress, and she has rabbit ears to match her bunny friend. Her hair is made of snowflakes too.

Snegurochka is approximately 10 inches tall (including ears), and has 13 points of articulation. Snow Bunny is approximately 6 inches tall, and has 8 points of articulation. They are made of Japanese glass seed beads, organic cotton thread & fiberfill, and Swarovski pearls.

Snegurochka will be available for commission on my Etsy shop by next week. I need to make another animal doll so that I can price Snow Bunny- I was writing the pattern while I made her, so I have no idea how long it took. But if you're interested in her, let me know and I'll get back to you on it as soon as I can :)
