american found and handmade natural treasure jewelry and art

[dirtanddecadence]

I’ve had a lot of people asking me where they can buy pieces since my etsy was basically empty, it’s just hard to keep it up to date when I’m putting aside stock for the launch and doing weekly markets and etsy posts take foreverrrr. But, in an attempt to let a diced up thumb heal (at least avoid more metal and chemicals getting in it) I went ahead an listed some pieces on etsy. More than doubled it! I’ll try to do it again in a couple weeks, but a month from launch date means no more etsy updates! So, buy now or regret it when they’re gone!! ✨Link in profile✨

>>> The Moss Agate Banana Leaf Ring <<<

A many layered Moss Agate stone sits in a scalloped bezel, wrapped in double strands of roped wire. Nestled amongst a banana leaf. A plant I've chosen to line all my fences because of their incredible bright energy, and beautiful flowers. A handout and stamped band, adorned with cascading suns to represent the uplifting energy this ring is meant to bring the wearer.

Banana plants have symbolism in many cultures and religions, but the most represented is being a symbol for fertility and prosperity, due to its continuous reproduction. It is a vibrant plant that exudes growth and vitality.  

Moss Agate is a stone that is extremely beneficial as a body strengthener in times of stress. Its steady energies aid those who feel unstable or ungrounded. It is an excellent stone for convalescing after illness, or in recovery from addictions. It enhances mental concentration, persistence and endurance. It is a stone for new beginnings

In the center of the band I have chosen to stamp the Othala rune from the Elder Furthark. Othala stands for “Home” or “Sacred Ancestral Property”. It signifies a wealth greater than money, but one of wealth in relationships with friends and family, and one of rich culture and heritage. I felt this was fitting for a ring meant to showcase the comforts and wealth that my home of New Orleans brings out in my life.

All of the elements involved make this an immensely positive talisman.

It is made of all sterling silver. 

Watch for more pieces of this nature when my collection launches at the end of October ::::

Finally starting to put some of my million bullet casings to use…. these weights are in their middle stages (without patina or polishing), not finished. And I have a handful of other plans on more involved pairs…. but the simple start, and I already dig them!

>>> The Deer in the Desert Ring <<<

A vibrant blue turquoise stone and a deer tooth, both acquired on travels through the deserts of Arizona come together in this all sterling silver ring. Size 8. 

—

The ring uses two elements that bring a lot of strength to this piece. Deer have many, many different connections to old folklore, all of which consider them incredibly sacred, important creatures. As a universal understanding, they are a symbol of agility, swiftness, and gentleness. Turquoise is known for its healing properties, in health and emotional matters. Mentally, it can restore and promote serenity, creativity, empathy, positive thinking, sensitivity, intuition, happiness and wisdom, all of which result in a calmer state that leads to greater self-realization.

Wearing this ring will help you swiftly break free of negative binds, and refocus your energy calmly into healthy and positive, well thought out directions.

Taking a break from vending this weekend (possibly longer since I might get out of town the following weekend) to focus on building more inventory. In the meantime what I currently have for sale is all back up on my etsy. Some with options as made to order/custom orders. I am happy to make custom pieces so please don’t hesitate to ask! Pictured here is my sterling silver Ermine Moth Wing Necklace, currently available for purchase on etsy, or you can message me here and we can go through paypal. Cheers y’all!

Recently I was able to get the chance to make a beautiful gift for a beautiful woman. Over the course of her visit out here, I tried to pick up some clues on what would be the perfect surprise for my friend Aminah, who was drawing me a tattoo we’ve been discussing for a couple years now, and frequent mentions of her love for flowers, butterflies, and the moon brought me here.

The Luna Moth bracelet. Luna moths have been said to represent rebirth, renewal of body and spirit, regeneration, and may even symbolize the soul itself. They speak of our connection to the Feminine, our inner spirit, and our trust in ourselves. 

We spoke a lot about the transformation and processing we have both been undergoing in our lives, and it felt like the best gift was a totem of all the progress and hard work and beauty blooming from the efforts.

I have made another of these bracelets that will be available on etsy later this evening if you or a friend have your own transformation to go through or to congratulate <3

Decided to not go out tonight to stay in an update etsy, since I’ve had a lot of questions about if I would be posting anything on my Heavy Metal Vomit Party etsy anymore. I will continue to try and update the etsy from time to time while I work on stock for my new website/sell at markets since I know there are a lot of you out there interested and not local! I will let you know when I finish up later this evening!
