The flames of lava

Life’s been crazier than ever! So, when I finally pulled out my beads over the weekend, I felt a bit hesitant. My mind was racing with a thousand admin tasks. But I decided to push all that aside and get “into the flow.”

This silver Ganpati pendant had been sitting in my jewelry box for ages. I’d often admire it, totally fascinated, but never quite sure what to do with it.

In the experimenting-with-beads adventure phase of my life, this pendant resurfaced. This time, I placed it on my worktable, determined to create something simple yet beautiful to showcase it.

I grabbed a box of black lava beads I bought in Mauritius and paired them with shiny off-white beads from an old necklace. After beading them together, I added two silver spacer beads for the finishing touch.

Sometimes, it takes a little push to switch off from the admin stuff, but it’s so worth it in the end!
