About Me

I'm satisfying my thirst for creative expression through patchwork, jewelry, painting, sketching, macramé and whatever else may catch my eye (hopefully metal working when I get the right space!) The last thing I want is for these artistic outlets to turn into a "job" ~ I already have one of those and one is certainly enough! I was worried that the "job" mentality was starting to take over my creative realm ~ I began thinking 'I need to' and 'I should' instead of 'I want to'. It’s hard to feel inspired when pressuring oneself to make make make (and to make something amazing at that). Fortunately, by switching mediums and trying new techniques that self-constraint has passed and I'm incredibly happy watching new pieces come to life.
A PISCES...
Dreamer:the Piscean personality is the most unworldly one in the zodiac. It is the poet, the dreamer, or the psychic who enjoys being taken away from the mundane reality of everyday life. If Pisceans become trapped by circumstances in any one place, they will seek solace from their own inner world.
.......
The light of the Sun, ruler of our inner nature, is somewhat dimmed in Pisces, the home of Jupiter (lord of the gods) and his elusive brother Neptune (the king of the sea). Jupiter gives you a thirst for knowledge and understanding, with a natural lucky streak.
Neptune brings out your sensitive and spiritual qualities, but it can also lay you open to deception and intrigue (that is if it's not you who is doing the deceiving!). You have probably noticed that Neptune can stimulate a thirst of a quite different variety — a thirst for liquor, drugs and addictive substances in general (including the addictions of love... ). Both of these great planets influence your personality
.......
The Pisces personality has a number of sub-personalities who are likely to take over at the drop of a hat. They include the victim, the martyr and the saviour or rescuer; and once Pisces gets locked into these patterns, it can be very difficult to shift. This can be hard on other people involved, too, for Pisceans can inflict, or receive, considerable suffering when they enter into a guilt-ridden phase.
.......
Caring, warm, compassionate and willing to help ~ those are Pisces as friends. Although they need company, regarding secrets, Pisces are the most trustworthy persons in the world. They rarely confide in others primarily because they have an innate incapability of sharing emotions with others.
.......
Piscean people are creative, sensitive and deeper than they appear on the surface, although they can be emotionally vulnerable, clinging and rather melancholic.
.......
Aquamarine seems to disappear when placed under water, like your shy Piscean self, which often wishes it could disappear so easily.

Stones, like people, are often flawed. In my opinion, that doesn't make them less valuable but rather unique and special. Love your brothers and sisters, flaws and all.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
