Laughing Willow Designs Jewelry by Jill K. Karkella

I hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday.....here are my creative endeavors for today. Please enjoy and leave a comment if you wish. I always love to hear your thoughts! 💚💚🧡💚💚

Some new members of my collection ready to string with beads or keep as is. Please enjoy!💚🥑💚

One of the ways I release tension and stay in a calm space is to create. Here is my back to school collection lol....designed this first week during breaks, post workout, early morning.... hope you enjoy!

Today during down time I made some jewelry. No carvings this time. Just necklaces and bracelets using a variety of stones like agate, jasper, jade, turquoise, jet. Metals include sterling and copper. Hope you all like!💚

New pieces☺️.....all strung on h**p with slipknot adjustable.....hand carved avocado stones with sterling, copper and a variety of stones....jasper, agate, jade and lapis. Hope you enjoy! 💚🥑🧡

🧡💜 Creating always brings me immense comfort and peace especially during chaotic times. I try not to meet the chaos with more of the same and its not always easy, but I find when I respond with an artistic approach it always seems to guide me through. So I have been working on these new pieces. H**p and wire and semi-precious stones with my carvings. I like sharing them with you all. I hope in some ways my attempts to develop creatively inspire you to tap into some gifts of your own that may be undiscovered. Its all a process and a calming one at that. Sending peace and love and some friendly faces out to you all. 🧡💜

🧡💜🧡💜 So I am creating some pieces on simple h**p chord. Wire twists combined with semi-precious stones like jasper, onyx and agate along with Bali silver and Israeli silver.... and of course my carving (some also carved on the back.) Chording is finished with a slipknot so its easily adjustable long to as short as you like. Hope you all enjoy. All pieces are for sale as well as in my earlier posts. You can view on my China Cat Creations page as well as my Laughing Willow Designs page too (both links in my about info.) As always thank you for indulging me and for your always support! 💜🧡💜🧡
