What started me on the path to making STONEWEAR JEWELRY and AMULETS was an innate love for rocks and a curiosity about Native American legends. One of these myths, STONES SPEAK, revealed to me that the Rock Tribe or Stone People had been the recordkeepers of Mother Earth's evolution throughout time immemorial!

This intrigued me enough that I volunteered to do some storytelling in the Lake Ossipee camping areas of New Hampshire. Working with children is always rewarding and they have a natural thirst for things Native American, so it wasn't long before we were all picking up various sizes and shapes of rocks to read their stories!

Then I started to teach the kids some crafts: dreamcatchers, chokers, masks, puppets. Along the way, I improved my own techniques and quickly made the leap from making crafts to designing JEWELRY as an art form.

As my path widened to embrace the Natural World and its teachings, I came to believe in the Spirit of Mother Earth - that the Rock Tribe were meant to be the buffers for mankind's stresses and anxieties as we evolved towards the LIGHT of the Great Spirit - and although we would walk all over them, crushing them - or even pulverizing great mountains into sand - still they love and endure us!

Although I am not a Native American Indian, I practice Mother Earth Spirituality which is the underlining Energy behind and within all of my creative endeavors. GREYWING is my Earth-name, for it is my wish to do the work of the Earth in the world and that of the free beasts whom I call the WILD ANGELS, in the Great Spirit's Name and in His LIGHT... for the sake of the Children of the Earth.

Each stone or bead that has come to me, chose me because they knew my heart! Every fetish, tooth or claw came to me because they knew my belief systems were rooted in the Earth - in the love and respect I have for the Wild Angels - in the deep, abiding Spirituality which I practice and live, in the Great Spirit's Name!

Before I would even pick-up a beading needle, the Animal I wished to honor in each AMULET knew my intent and would channel their energies into me to help shape and adorn it. They have shared with me their Song of the Rainbow - their Song of Hope for all of mankind!

And because of my abiding connection with the Earth, each AMULET has been infused, through my hands, with the power and energy of my beliefs, which spring from the LIGHT! This is not a thing of my ego, it is a thing of my soul which I am exposing to you through my humble endeavors. YOU just simply need to be open to receiving it and it will come to you. YOUR AMULET will also open avenues of seeing for you that you may have thought impossible!

Pray or meditate with YOUR AMULET daily... In repose, let it drape across your Heart Chakra... Take YOUR AMULET with you wherever you go... Distracted? Finger the beads like you would a Prayer (Mala) Bracelet... Have a special place within your home? Let it rest there to be renewed. You may feel a slight warmth or vibration from YOUR AMULET which may change, lessen or intensify... it will feel like it has a life of its own... this is the magic of AMULETS!
