Lately, everything feels like it is falling into place.

Desiderata comes to mind, “You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.” - Max Ehrmann

I started cutting lengths of wire to attach the Lapis beads to the chains, each length cut by hand to length, balled with my torch, threaded through a bead, and wrapped to stay put on the chain. Each earring would have 7 lengths of wire, and when I got done clipping wire, there were exactly 28 pieces, exactly, not a millimeter less or more. 2 sets of earrings coming to life. Maktub - would say the Alchemist. It is written.

So, here they are. Silver & Lapis Lazuli, swaying from your ears to dance across your shoulders.

All chain was cut to length, hand beaded, jump rings fused, and strung on a soldered silver 16 G square wire loop. Hand-formed silver ear wires, all coming together with a lot of intentional thoughts and inquiry in my heart.
