why can't we be friends?

'our task must be to free ourselves... 
by widening our circle of compassion
to embrace all living creatures
and the whole of nature and its beauty.'
~ albert einstein

beautifully glazed circle pendant by leann weih became the focal of this bracelet... wrapped in terracotta sari ribbon and adorned with lapis which is believed to be a yin yang balancer and  healer of emotional wounds... faux leather strap and handknotted apatite, bronzite, orange aventurine and apple coral are paired... 'extend your circle' now available in my etsy shop... 

things are draining this week - thank goodness for beautiful components that sweep me away and help me to channel my emotions~

  6. Oh a tinity of circles. I love that. The terracota/orangish colours are a nice play with the deep blues. Hope your week gets better. I think I'm having a little bit of that too this week for no particular reason.
