elemental collection

My elemental collection is inspired by places which bring me back to self. Where I go to seek refuge, ground myself, focus on my breath, cleanse myself of anxiety and renew my energy. Most of these places exist in liminal spaces, where sky meets water and turns to mist, trees grow from the dirt reaching towards the sky, where water flows towards sandy earth and ebbs back into itself again and where flowers and grasses dance along the horizon.

This all started with my tidal collection. Searching the shores of New England for pebbles, shells, dried seaweed and driftwood is a wonderfully rich sensory experience for me. The sound of waves rolling in fills my spirit with ease. Watching the sunshine bouncing off waves or dappling through tide pools warms me, on even the coldest of days. The smell of salty air awakens my lungs, relaxing me. Looking down where the ocean rolls to the shore pebbles that have a little inclusion or lines of different colors in them are what catch my eye. My hands follow, fingers pass over their tumbled smoothness, happily coming across an uneven edge knowing this pebble has a bigger part in this body of water it rolled in from. The weight of pebbles in my hands grounds me as I gather different shapes, hoping to capture sense of calm in metal. With this, I give you the Tidal Collection. I hope you find comfort wearing these pieces and their colors, organic shapes, different weights and sizes remind you of how soothing the water is. May your fiddling hands enjoy their subtle textures.

the tidal collection is in stock and ready to ship in 1-3 business days. more work based on the elements will be added from time to time as it will expand with my spiritual growth. my approach to this collection rises and falls with the waves, as do my memories of times spent walking the sandy earth. thanks for your appreciation of this collection. xo, kim

this year was different. though it started the same, appeasing others, setting business intentions my intuition warned me of, making too many pieces for small collections and feeling forever behind. it ended as I had intended to start it, making art. my small lines of jewelry served me well as I wouldn't be where I am now without having made them. where I am now, is in the same studio, with the same books, tools, flint and flame, but I have found myself back to my acorn, my essence, working with the seasons, the elements, and my jewelry is sculptural, meaningful, important and dare I say, ART, once again. here is my final piece of the year, "air". it symbolizes the element of choice, thoughts, surrounding us always, threatening to take us off our feet if we don't ground ourselves into the earth. this feather is hand engraved on both sides, unlike a feather, it has weight, a presence, reminding you of your autonomy.

not all growth leads you back to where you started. for me, it meant finding myself, parts that were lost, parts that others took over, parts that felt less than, unimportant, ugly, insignificant, tarnished. with some help from loved ones, I found my way back to my acorn, my potential and as I continue on, I hope to feel like I am floating from earth to sky and back again, with ease and grace.

this sterling silver feather is hand engraved on both sides and very much a one of a kind. it is nearly 2.75” long and 0.5” wide hanging on a 25” necklace. this necklace has Botswana agate bead details added in as they represent fire and smoke, much like what we burn to clear the air.
