I am participating in Traycy Statlers Inspire Challenge: Wellness Words Jewelry Challenge. The challenge was to:
"Choose an inspirational word or phrase in an area of your life where you want to make positive change. Make sure your words truly represent something you want to work on. Don’t choose a word because it looks good, is popular right now or someone else thinks you should choose it."
My word or words is "Find Balance". Finding balance in life between the "must dos" and the thing I want to do, balance between work and family and hobby. Finding balance in the use of my time and by that finding time to put into my health.
I made a necklace for myself with a hand stamped blank some charms and beads, both glass and semi precious stone. I put the charms and bead on lobster clasps so I can easily change them out to make the necklace versatile.
Unfortunately my picture editing program is acting up so these pictures are unedited. I will publish the edited pictures as soon as I can.
Here are the others participating in this challenge:
Love the combination of beads and charms you used!

ReplyDeleteSuch a powerful word and theme for so many as we start the new year! Your necklace showcases your words perfectly. Thank you for taking the time to join the challenge and for posting the pictures even though your editing software was not working. It still looks great!

I enjoyed your "find balance" charm! Your stamping is much more even than mine.
ReplyDeleteI love all the little pieces on this chain, they are balanced well!
ReplyDeleteFind balance....I have found that a few have chosen this as their wellness word and I can understand why. Without balance our live can become so chaotic. A really like the necklace you made with your stamped charm!
ReplyDeleteLike it and good luck finding it.
ReplyDeletewhat a fun and flexible design
ReplyDeleteBalance is my word for the year as well. I think that your design is very sweet and will be a wonderful reminder that it is so important to have perspective on what is really important in life. I am glad to know that there are others who are working on the same thing as I am. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the day. Erin
