Having self acceptance doesn't mean you don't have insecurities or worry about certain things. Or care what other people think. To me, it means that you just won't change something about yourself because someone else doesn't like it, or thinks you should. It's about saying out loud "you know what, I'm not perfect and that's ok. But I like myself and so do my friends and family. So if you don't, that's your choice"
Everyone has heard of gemstones before, right? But what do you really know about them? What are they? Where do they come from? What are the different gemstones? (did you know diamonds are gemstones? Or did you think they were different?) Where do you find them? Do they have energy associated with them?Do you care? It's ok if you don't. But if you do, keep reading. I'm sharing what I have been discovering.
In it's simplest explanation, wire wrapping is the technique of wrapping wire around itself or another component, to create a cold connection. Which is connecting two components together without using heat to melt them together. Threading a bead onto a head pin and then wrapping a loop at the top is considered the simplest wire wrapping technique. But there is also some insanely intricate designs that can also include wire weaving, meaning wrapping multiple wires around each other in different stitches like double ladder stitch, zig zag, double overlay, stitched weave and the brick stitch, and then wrapping that around a component. THD pieces fall somewhere in the middle, but a bit closer to the simpler side. I like my jewelry to be as easy as I like my life.
