CryZtalvisions, with a "Z"

Beth Alexander of CryZtalvisions says:
I've been creating unique pieces of jewelry for almost 20 years now, and I'm still excited by the process. I have an insatiable appetite for learning new techniques that push the boundaries of my creativity. Along the way I have also been drawn to studying and practicing various energy healing arts, like Reiki, chakra balancing, Earth based energy medicine, shamanic practices, and Angel Therapy. I have found combining my love of minerals, my artistic eye and skill in jewelry fabrication and design, along with my heightened sensitivity to energies creates a powerful synergy. I love to immerse myself in the creative process and I'm fascinated when some pieces seem to magically design themselves. I am pleased to share my passion with you here.

I delight in creating these pieces! Each one is unique, with its own energy that I feel as I work with the materials. They transport me to a place of deep knowing, relaxation and happiness as I work. My pieces not only look wonderful when worn, but also carry with them the special healing energies of each gemstone or crystal. My work is a constant exploration of the interconnectedness of all life.
And I am delighted that I discovered her shop!

She also has lovely bracelets and necklaces--so click on over and have a look--but it's her earrings that really got my attention.

Wrap Your Hair Like a Goddess

Aly of KreativeMindz says that wearing one of these hair wraps makes her feel like a goddess--and she hopes that they'll have the same effect on you! I love the variety of colors and patterns she has available, and they come with step-by-step instructions for wrapping as shown in the photos. The wraps are versatile, and can also be worn as a sash, scarf, or long, trailing headband. The perfect thing to add a splash of color, or to camouflage a bad-hair day.
