When I saw Birgitta Lejonklou (Create With Spirit) was having a blog hop, I knew that I must participate. Thanks B!
She creates the best ceramic pendants! We’ve done our own little swaps a few times, trading jewelry, beads and pendants. (One can never have too many beading buddies.)
The theme is Celebrating Mother Earth. Nothing better than paying a bit of homage to Ma!
While designing, I listened to one of my favorite kirtan chants by Shantala. Honoring Ma with a blissful heart.

Sweet Mother, You are the Supreme Divine,
Empowering All, you are the Whole, Everything!
Primordial One, Creativity Supreme, protect me!
Auspicious One, Goddess of the Earth, Great Goddess of the Sovereign
Whose Form is Being, Consciousness, and Bliss, protect me!
O Mother, O Ma! O Mother made of Bliss! O Mother, protect me!
(Thanks to Lesley over at The Gossiping Goddess for the wonderful jump ring and seed bead tutorial.)
