My Etsy shop will be closed until October 2.
Mexico was hit by two major earthquakes. The first (on September 7) hit the southern states, and the second (on September 19) hit the central areas of the country.
My family and loved ones are safe, but many parts of Mexico are still in chaos. Many buildings fell, others were severely damaged, and thousands of people lost everything. If you can help, here's a list of reliable relief efforts that take online donations.
Thank you!

Alive
I began this painting a few weeks ago.
Then I went to see a healer.
She told me to use bigger brushes, to seek expression, and let my sexual energy do the painting. She said the cathartic process would heal me.
Here's the result.

Postal service delays in the US
Welcome to all of you who are new to my work and my Etsy shop! I am honored to meet such beautiful kindred spirits.
If you live in the US and purchased my jewelry in the past few weeks, I want you to know that there will be postal service delays in the US due to damage caused by hurricanes in the southern distribution centers. Packages will now be sent from Mexico to New York and be distributed to the rest of the country from there.
I hope it's not a big delay, but it may add a couple of weeks to the usual 2-5 week delivery time.
Thank you so much for your patience!
Amulet 1
Animals and symbols often show up in my dreams. I always ask what they mean to me, because through them, I can get to know deeper parts of my mind. Sometimes they represent fears, but other times, strengths I didn't know I had.

Abierto Mexicano de Diseño
I've been away for a while, and I wanted to thank you for your kind comments on Instagram and Facebook. Your encouragement means the world to me!
Since I last wrote, I have so much to be grateful for:
My dad is finally home after a long stint at the hospital
We survived last night's earthquake
It's been 10 years this month since I took my first jewelry class
I sold my 800th piece on Etsy!
I've also had lots of fun making amulets with Art Clay. The group you see here will be exhibited in the Abierto Mexicano de Diseño from October 18-22, in downtown Mexico City.
I will continue to add to this series next week. Every piece will be available in my online shop.
Have a wonderful and inspiring weekend!
