I've been reorganizing. And by reorganizing, I mean I finally opened the bins I hadn't touched since the last time I reorganized.
You know the ones.
Tucked inside was this beautiful stone — smooth, with something etched into it that looks like a shield. I'm thinking jade. It has that quiet weight to it, that cool-to-the-touch stillness that makes you stop and just... hold it for a minute.
It started talking immediately. African-inspired, it said. Wooden beads. Something earthy and grounded to match that etched face.
So I built it.
And then I had to cut it apart.
Too stiff - the longer beads wouldn't let the bracelet move the way it needed to. Disappointing in the way only a bracelet that almost worked can be. But the stone is still here. Still beautiful. Still waiting.
So what does a piece of jade with a shield etched into it want to become?
I don't know yet. But I'm going to find out.
Follow along.
Post Note: It found a home!
