Third Eye Pendant

A pendant I made last evening after I ate dinner. I was full of energy when I woke up yesterday morning. But came crashing down around 11am. By 3:00pm I really could have fell asleep at my desk. I started drinking lots of water. I was exhausted. I picked up a yummie salad at Trader Joe's because I wanted to design a new jewelry piece. I hadn't made anything in a few days.



Smoky quartz with swarovski amethyst crystals. 16" Length small vintaj chain. I share my designs with love. I get to come home tonight to create another piece. I want to make a bracelet to share. We'll see.

Metaphysical Jewelry

Good morning. I wanted to write about what's going on with House of Raquel jewelry hmmm maybe I'm on the wrong blog page. I've incorporated my jewelry designs to the other side of me. I am thinking about canceling my House of Raquel blog and just have this one.
The metaphysical jewelry is attracting people's eye. I didn't know that the night I was meeting a new friend (Jac) at Mystic store in Walnut Creek that my jewelry designs were going to change. While we were checking out all the cool stuff they offered I purchased one of their 3 aqua aura crystals that caught my eye. I also purchased some "abundance" candles. I liked the way they smelled. :)
After creating that piece


and posting it to my fan page on facebook it attracted people's eye. When I posted it I wrote that this one was mine but I would be making more. My friend Jac bought the second piece. When I went back to the Mystic store to buy the last one it was gone. So I've located a few on the internet. I'm waiting impatiently for those to arrive.

The next morning while eating my oatmeal and checking into facebook. I saw Denise mention she was on twitter and to follow her. I was already a fan. But I hadn't follow her on twitter. I prefer FB to twitter. I don't use twitter much, do you? While driving to work Jade (my spirit guide) told me to connect to Denise on twitter. So I did. I saw she was selling her book and purchased it. She was sending me messages that she loved my pieces and asked me if I would be interesting in her carrying my line on her website. I was overwhelmed and high as the sky.

We talked that evening on my way home from work. I pulled my car over. I explained to her that my line was new and I didn't have many pieces - NONE was more like it. That was okay with her cause the page for it wasn't ready yet and that it would be about 2 weeks.

Ok so look forward to that happening in a few weeks. She also has a new book coming out about the same time.

Only to realize later that her many antagonists and challenges were also her greatest teachers. She is a gifted psychic medium with a story that will warm your soul.

I've purchased mine and I can't wait to receive a signed copy .http://fairpoint.net/~icpchad/booksmessenger.htm Coincidentally (I don't believe in coincidences) she is a friend of my friend Rachel. I am blessed. Rachel had suggested to become a fan of Denise's a while ago.

As I design these pieces my abundance candles are burning. hmmmm I am also infusing them with healing reiki energy. Denise's assistant was going to do it but when I told her I was a Reiki II practictioner, she told me I could do it. She had attuned my friend Rachel and guess what Rachel attuned me to Reiki II a few years back. hmmmm

My intention was to get them on my website and eventually I will, but in the meantime I am taking orders for all my fans if you would like to order a piece. Just know that I have to fill my order to Denise first. I would gladly add you to my waiting list.

I am open to what the universe wants to give me. I am filled with gratitude and love.
Peace

Amazonite

It's been a good while since I've posted to The Other Side of Me. Many of you know that I have a side handcrafted jewelry business. Where I mainly USED sterling silver, chain and wire with swarovski crystals.

I'm excited to leave the sterling silver behind. Now I'm using vintaj antique brass findings and wire. I've always been in love with crystals and stones, so I'm taking my jewelry designs to the metaphysical. The other side of me. :)

When I go shopping for stones, I'm always curious what are their Healing and Attributes definitions. It amazes me how they resonate with my energy. The photos I'm going to post is a necklace where I used the stone - Amazonite.

The Crystal Bible written by Judy Hall defines this stone as:
"Heals and opens the heart and throat chakras to enhance loving communication. It also opens the third eye and intuition. The stone dissipates negative energy and blockages within the nervous system.
Attributes - Extremely soothing stone. It calms the brain and nervous system and aligns the physical body with the etheric, maintaining optimum health.
Spiritually, an elixir of Amazonite is extremely beneficial to all levels of consciousness. The stone itself assists in manifesting universal love.



I wire wrapped the stone and added a chain drop with rose quartz, amethyst chip, along with a few swarovski crystals dangling from the chain. This piece is $40.00. All the photos are of the same piece.



The length of this necklace is 16" and extends to 18 1/2".



The length of the stone is 1 1/4" and the width is about 5/8".





You could also wear it from the backside. I love this finding. I also used the finding to make the earrings that match. They cost $15.00



I will be posting more of my jewelry designs on this blog and defining the meaning of the stones that I used. I hope you enjoy. I would appreciate your feedback.

I am a 'Seer'

I created a necklace that I inspired because I am a Seer. I call myself a Seer, a Listener because I see pictures and hear thoughts in my mind that come from spirit.

Look for many more jewelry items inspired by the "Seer" in me. ;)

The Other side of ME

Hi,
We are so multifaceted creatures, no? I have so much going on inside my head at times, I have to ground myself to focus. At others times, I don't think anyone is home.
Today I heard from a wonderful medium who I had the pleasure of meeting through a spirit named Stacy. Stacy had died giving birth to her son who had also died. Stacy was a friend of Wendy's, whom I work with.
The wonderful medium is Karen and she has a website, www.karenpeterson.org. She was at the time we met also communicating with Stacy and giving messages to Stacy's Mom and sister. When Karen find out that I was also getting messages from Stacy she wanted to meet me.
Its always nice to hear from people who you haven't heard from in awhile. I'm hoping to get a chance to interview Karen. However she is extremely busy.

The Other side of me is giving away 3 pairs (like a clover) of earrings at http://houseofraquel.blogspot.com come by and check it out.

Peace and Love

I hope you enjoyed the recent Thanksgiving holiday. I know I have lots to be thankful about. I celebrated with my son and his girlfriend, we were invited to drop by. Later we went to my Mom's for dinner. I am so grateful I still have my Mom to visit. She is 87 and is doing well.
Did you go shopping on Black Friday? I stayed home, but I did go to Kmart on Saturday to take advantage of the wonderful sales they were having. While walking inside I noticed a peace and heart symbol on someone's T-shirt. I thought to myself hmmm, gotta make that as a pendant! Here it is as a charm.
