Life has this uncanny way of leading us down unexpected paths, and truth be told, I wasn't sure if I'd find my way back here. It's been over a year since I've been active, but here I am, ready to dive back into doing what I love... crafting one of a kind jewelry pieces.
Creativity never truly leaves us, it just takes a little break to gather its brilliance! - Anonymous
Speaking of brilliance, allow me to introduce my newest and most precious gem — my 10-month-old Cameron! She is beyond words — a marvel, a delight, and a precious presence that has opened my heart in ways I never imagined.
Motherhood, a journey of challenges, love, and SO much discovery. She has become my muse, infusing a newfound passion within me. I took a break because I desired (and still do) to devote my attention and time to her, my family, my community, and my work...but honestly, the break was surprisingly the opportunity my creativity needed.
During this time, I ventured into the captivating realm of metalsmithing and I'm thrilled to share my progress, from practice pieces to THE most adorable "mommy and me" designs. The shop is still closed for now because quality is my priority, and I believe in savoring every step of this creative journey.
So here's to letting the creative sparks ignite in 2024!
Radiantly excited,
Shanika B. ✨
