NEW "HOME" for my STONES and CRYSTALS


NEW "HOME" for my STONES and CRYSTALS

I have a great fascination  in CRYSTALS and STONES....
thus,  i love collecting them....
There are a few online shops that sell these..., some in raw, then polished..., and some are in 
jewelry forms... 
 
 
I buy these, not by IMPULSE..., but  rather .., 
due to the strange "PULL" that they have towards me.....
 
 
but for some, it's probably due to curiosity about the energies that I might connect to... I don't know.., I'm jut attracted to them.., and that's the bottomline....
 
 ( former containers of my stones and crystals )
 
When I began  my collecting..., I  started off by placing them temporarily in the re-purposed  Perfume Box.., which happened to be my favourite because it is the signature scent of my favourite Singer...., Regine Velasquez....
 
For the accessories such as necklaces and bracelets.., I placed them in the clear glass container, so I'll know which ones belong to the wearables and which ones i should carry along or use for any sort of purposes i intended them to be...

Yes after a few months, they've grown, and i felt that there's a need for a bigger space....
I saw an old wooden box which my aunt gave me..., it was still in good shape, but it needed to have a more "polished " and sophisticated look..., as its former look was a bit tacky  and really ugly.... Sorry I don't have any pics of its former condition... but anyways..., it already underwent a MAKEOVER....

I covered i with deep brown furry fabric and attached a neat lace that  corresponds  its  colour.... I decided not to attach its cover because  I prefer the stones and crystals to "BREATHE" ...., and that  their energies won't be  blocked....
I decided to use the deep chocolate brown colour because my idea came from the colour of the rich soil..., so visually, that's the concept....

After the box had been made, I decided to keep the jewelries in their glass container in order to give more space to the future   Stones and Crystals... I also place some nice bed of  POTPOURRI so that they can still connect with the Earth....

OLD ROSE WAND MAKEOVER



ROSE WAND: BEFORE AND AFTER
 


...i've never used this since i found it on the ground....and it's been more or less 8 years.... just thought of modifying it....

...so...for the top part, i carved a rose bud and inserted my favourite ROSE QUARTZ... ( P.S.: I'm not good in carving...lols...at least i tried to make it to look like a rose bud...haha)
you'll notice a FACE-like thing at the left bottom part .... it was NOT CARVED INTENTIONALLY.......






 it was NATURALLY there.....i just noticed it when i was carving the rose bud part....and i decided to leave it UNTOUCHED..... (  I remember GRANMOTHER WILLOW in POCAHONTAS  )

For the hollowed part at the bottom, i inserted some herbs, with a sigil on a rolled paper....then covered it with a cinnamon bark...











..ROSES in the mid part...., they are made from clay.... i mixed and blended herbs with it then shaped them like roses...under them is another rose quarts and also at the bottom part of the wand....






 







...the"body" is covered with DRIED ROSE PETALS



...the bottom part or the handle, are covered with coiled copper wires, which you'll also see at the top area , beneath the "FACE"
