Whenever I am blocked with fear the remedy for me is to turn to my creative source – the source that brings me wholeness, comfort and self-love. I am blessed with many artistic friends who teach me various ways to express my creativity other than jewelry making, one of which taught me how to do Mandalas. When I become blocked with any kind of fear, which will ultimately cause me self-loathing, I can streamline into a different kind of creativity for a while. Doing this mandala yesterday was a wonderful way to experience peace and reconnect to the divine!

Unisex Buddha Coin Recycled Twisted Rope Gold Tone Chain Necklace Design By Amy Jane Jewels

 

 

I created this powerful unisex necklace as a symbol of the blessings we receive from the divine; and to bring you an offer in the essence of eastern mysticism. I decided to use some interesting gold tone twisted rope chain, and at the bottom I placed a blessed antique bronze reversible Buddhist coin charm, with the image of the goddess Guanyin on it who is associated with compassion by East Asian Buddhists.

Welcome to Amy Jane Jewels new spring collection where I am developing a new line of jewelry to celebrate the vigorous colour of spring in Australia.

I created this gorgeous necklace by flattening out some beautiful filigree bead caps, and combined them with the teal blue Czech beads to capture the joyous colours of spring. A time of rebirth and renewal, when the cold dissipates, the Cherry blossom come into flower and the world seems new and alive again.

HOPE

I am feeling defeated at this juncture in my short artistic career and I wanted to share that with my readers. I hope by sharing honestly about the self-doubt I experience as an artist, that I can help others who maybe experiencing the same lack of confidence. Frequently I go through what I call experiencing the agony of uncertainty; this is usually directly linked to my baby artist feeling frightened and insecure.

I am facing one of these times right now and unfortunately I have broken a cardinal rule by comparing myself to another successful jeweller who is also running her own business. It is funny how my inner critic omitted the fact that she has built her business up over four years, obviously has the access to the finances she needs and the support of her husband, who is her business partner.

I have decided to put into place a few tools to combat my negative thinking. When I did a course in "discovering and recoverin my creative self", via The Artist Way, I learnt to believe in the beauty of my own dreams as opposed to those of another artists. I learnt to keep pursing them no matter what obstacles were put in my path. The next thing I learnt to do is use one of my favourite quotes from the book “don’t say why me, say what’s next”, which always seems to help give me back my resolve. Armed with those tools under my belt I have decided to ask other jewellers what they have done to become successful.

I am now armed with all the tools to triumph over my inner critic and keep moving forward, and sharing it with you has helped release the fear and pain. I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this post. I sincerely hope this has helped you remember to keep believing in yourself and the beauty of your dreams.



May you be blessed with the spirit of the creative!

Embrace

Yellow light moving under dull skin

Like cold stone in a summers dance

Taking the whispers of this life to embrace

Seeping through the cracks of light left behind

Negative diversion in the shadows that transpire in my mind

A love escaping the fallen breath left behind

Left by a forgotten lover

With tender reflection and forgotten sentient

An eclipsed life left to be lived
in an embrace

Vintage Dreamer

I am drawn to creating vintage inspired jewelry and I just adored making these earrings, because they encompass the essence of that giddy time of the 1920's when life was filled with colour, creativity, such class that I find delightful. Oh to have been born then - I think I was born in the wrong era!!

I have just started experimenting with vintage inspired props that compliment my work, and I really like the look of this Whisky decanter with my pink Czech antique brass bar chain earrings. Please let me know what you think too!!!!

Men's Unisex jewelry

All my male friends have been asking me if I could make men's jewelry for them. I felt really funny about creating a men's line because it doesn't come from a personalised place of belonging, but I try to give the people what they want. Since starting this new men's line I have discovered that I really like the simplicity of men's jewelry. Here's a sample for you to enjoy..
