RiverQueen
We sit on the river bank. The sidelines. Thirsty. Out of ideas. Immobilized. Unsure.
Jump back in. Floating. Carried away. Revived in the moonlight.
When you feel parched and stagnant, wear this. $ 50.00- Sheila K-H chose this amulet.

Resources: Metal from caulk tube cap (retrieved from a construction site burn barrel), timeclock gear, chocolate wrapper, electronics component, cubic zirconia. The mark-making on this amulet is based on aboriginal symbols.
As a rule, I don't advocate for aggression. This pendant was created for the battle with have with ourselves- we forget our power, we forget our shine. We struggle to be assertive. Wear this and project your inner warrior woman- star powerful and brilliant. $60.00 - Christina H. chose this amulet.
Yin/Yang
The sources for this pendant: snap/retaining ring hardware, tractor grille, black tahitian pearls & white pearls from my great grandmother's multi-strand necklace.
I rescued these pearls from broken strands of her necklace which I found in a box of ephemeral mementos from her life. I can't vouch for the authenticity of the pearls, but I can promise that they were worn by a hard-working, tough, feminine, creative, 4'8" Eastern European woman who immigrated to this country in the early 1900s and used her skills to build a modest life.
This yin/yang version was inspired by her ability to tackle and wrassle with the dark and light that life threw at her and thrive. Wear this and carry the story forward. $100.00
