Art, Love & Rings...
I’m pretty excited to share that the designing and creating of the rings are going well. I had a little emergency the other night, but I was able to improvise. I’ve been so inspired by the idea of ‘love mixed with art.’ Beauty is truly all around me and I can feel it.
Yes, my fingers are pretty sore, but not even that will stop me from finishing. I will keep on going....

Questions?
Just read bio please!!! Thank you :)
Ummy... No, I'm Really Thinking About Something...
I am still searching for the ‘right/perfect’ tumblr layout. May have to buy one to get what I want. I really am. I am not too happy with this one, but I’ll make it work for now.
Also, please stay tuned for my idea of ‘organic artisan designs’ in the next few week. Yeah, I’m taking a huge leap of faith and going with designing what I know and feel.

Officially back on track as of today. Doc says all clear. Ends an 8-month period of extreme patience and a real head trip… Back to it… See you soon.
Loving your return and sending all of my love and support - as you know, always. Hang in there and I can’t wait to hear about born and raised. I’m keeping it professional here, since this is my business blog.
Back to Basics... Back to the Genesis of Artisan...
2012 will be about returning back to the basics or organics and being the true artisan that I am and started out as years ago. Somewhere along the way, I got a bit distracted and mildly lost my focus on what true design should be or look like. Well, it’s back and I’ve been so hard at work that it’s scary…
Many of you sent me questions and requests, asking if I could make...
2012 is Looking Promising and Oh So Lovely...
I’m excited for 2012… Aren’t you??? How on earth could you not be??? Now that we’re over all of the Mayan speculations about the world ending, and we’re midway into January, there’s so much to be happy about and thankful for. I know I am very thankful… I have so much love and positive things to be grateful for.
I’m excited about the newest...

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy New Year...
I’m humbly excited. Won’t say about what, but I have this beautiful feeling inside me. My heart can’t stop beating a million miles a minute and I have butterflies. Right now, I have like this goofy smile on my face. So yeh, I can’t wait for everything. I have a good feeling for 2012 and I have lots of things to do, and clear out the way before Christmas and thereafter. New Years and thereafter...
Anonymous asked: Hey there and Hello! I'm digging your work. You're very meticulous and devoted. I'd like to ask if you carved some of the square stones. I really dig your earthy styles because it's not like anything I've seen out there. How do you have the patience to do this and how much time does it take you?
Inspiration from Love, Lyrics & Music...
I get inspiration from love, lyrics and music. I also get inspiration from what surrounds me and what’s happening around the world. Sometimes, I’ll be hard at work, meeting deadlines, designing a few websites or two at once, doing projects for clients, sewing, re-arranging and just burning my candlestick at both ends entirely for hours, upon hours.
To keep me company, being that I...
Sometimes...
You just have to tell people what’s truly on your mind and in your heart. Sometimes, you just have to thank them.

I need the calm we create.
Slow this aching heart.”

Traveling is a good way to get a second opinion on everything.
Traveling exposes and frees our trapped curiosities, bringing us comfort and answers. It’s a vacation for the heart, mind, body and soul. I’m always up for a second opinion. I needed one just a few days ago ;) be safe and I feel you. Take in colors, smells, sights, and allow emotions to exist, and just be.
Need Your Opinion...
This is about the current website. I’m in the process of revamping ‘Stoned Soul.com’ and changing it up a little, or maybe a lot. I will be adding esoteric items as well to the season of 2012. I kind of like the current look of things, but I want something different… I want a more sophisticated look. I almost feel as if I’m talking a stroll through candy land, when I...

Time for new Theme!!!
Hello lovelies and new followers!!! It’s been a while, hasn’t it??? You are welcomed. Ok, I want a new theme. I’ve had this once for a while, and it doesn’t quite suit me. Each time I log in, I sigh and am not happy with it.
I am looking for something a bit different. I’m not sure what I want, but I’ll think of something soon, as I browse around. I’ll be...

Sleepy, But Happy...
I’m so sleepy and it’s ONLY 10:25 p.m. Sleepy is suppose to lull me around 3 a.m., not as early as 10:25 p.m. You see, I have lots of work to do. My bones are achy, my back hurts and I’m yawning and fighting to keep my round, almond, thumper like bunny eyes open to see and to write this. I also have some hand work to do as well. This week has been amazing and I feel blessed.

Just Happy!!!
I’ll be designing items and selling them to benefit a charity based out of London, but located in Africa. I have always wanted to do this and I feel as if my life is about so much more than educations, school and designing. I will be getting started on the projects and specific items designed, around next week!!!
This truly is a blessing and it just makes me feel good to help others!!! :)

Happy Monday Everyone!!!

Questions for Friday... Chakra's Color...
I’ve been on a design spree and so I developed a few accessories and such. One special items that I recently designed was a chakra necklace that I’ve named ‘Flow’…
What’s so intriguing about this piece??? Well, not one section or area of the necklace is restrained or has been inhibited from movement. The gems are able to freely move around, without any...

Having Humility, Kindness & Respect...
Welcome FRIENDS, readers and customers. I’ve had a few things and ideas on my mind for the past few days that are focused and or centered around goodness, community, kindness, love, caring, beautifying the spirit, beauty in general, and more. I was thinking about how we as a society should be good to our neighbors, people that we meet in the street, strangers, those who are not as...
Enjoying the Day...
I’m a happy camper. It’s a beautiful day here in LA and the design bug bit me. I’m waiting for a few shipments to arrive. They’re days late, but I’m still in good spirits. I’ve also been working on the other site as well which will be the Mecca of the jewelry site. Only a select few invites will be sent out about the new site. It’s a bit exclusive until I...
A Little More Blue...
What’s the point to the title above??? Well, it’s significant. Why??? Because I’ve made the website a little more blue. It was a little green-ish teal, but now it’s a little blue and lovelier and calmer. I still have lots to do, but I like the look and feel, don’t you??? So stay tuned for more changes. I’m very please and happy with things. Life is beautiful....
Recent Developments
I recently met with my jewelry copyright and trademark attorney regarding the duplication of my jewelry items AND accessories that I am making/producing now and for the opening of the store in 2012. I had noticed that there had been several web visits over the week end, which led me to suspicion. Usually if I get 30 hits, I make 25 sales out of 30, but these visits kept coming in. So now...

A Quiet Little Sunday Night...
Just finished working on a few site features. I’ve spent all day cooking, and still have more cooking to do. Went to check my jewelry site, Stoned Soul Urban Jewelry @ ‘http://www.stonedsoul.com’ and I had discovered that someone had attempted to steal/hack my domain. I spent nearly two hours on the phone with the web-host and company and an attorney on - yes on Sunday, trying to...

Art of Design...
Just remember that ‘design’ is what you make of it… You represent design, and design represent you as a person. It’s like our ‘this is my mind’s eye or how I see things, or what to see things’ badge. Wear it proudly. This is with anything you put your hands to in life, so remember to always think outside the box. Always. And never color inside the lines....
Happy Lover's Day ;)
Tomorrow is the day for passion, love and expressing to that special someone, how you feel, about them. It’s the tiny things that count the most. Hope that you all enjoy this day.
On another note: I am lagging behind with uploading the newest items. Sister site is ready, but not everything has been added. So much that it’s killing my inventory. So many goodies and jewelry pieces....
Know Your Rocks... know Thyself... ;)
Alrighty!!! Hope that everyone is doing pretty well and is on cloud 9, somewhere over the rainbow, like me. Has anyone checked out the ‘Stone Properties’ blog on the Stoned Soul Urban Jewelry site, that explains the metaphysical properties of stones yet??? If not, there’s some great info there for you to ponder. It helps you ‘know your stones.’
I feel that it’s...

BP Still a Crisis...
BP is Still a Crisis…
I’ve been sitting up various nights of the week discussing the BP crisis with friends who are working in two charities who are focused on improving the well-beings of those who have been affected, families who are still in need, and how the media has nearly abandoned the matter.
One of my close friends happens to be a doctor in Louisiana. She sends me photos showing...
Happy Saturday!!!
I just changed the layout. Many stated that they were unable to read the cursive writing on the heading of the titles. Now everything should be clear ;) I’m going to miss that inky, ocean like blue, but I had cater to your request. I love my readers, friends and business associates… I want you guys to be happy, not frustrated and irritated, each time you stop by to pay me a visit.
