I oftentimes have created asking the guidance of angels, and when I remember to ask, sure enough the result of a piece is pretty good! Now I would like to experiment with connecting with the etheric Spirit of Athena, and see what comes from being inspired by a powerful feminine symbol.

Here’s a gorgeous depiction of the Goddess (found randomly on Google, so sadly I do not know whom to credit this piece of art to)

Guess which is which?

I have a small piece of kunzite which emits a very strong energy, a very hot energy. It will actually numb my hand all over when I hold it. And all I’m left to feel is my etheric hand .

I have an amethyst point that feels like a heartbeat.

And a phantom quartz that once tingled and numbed my whole arm, up to my head.

I also had a little hold of a larimar cabochon (which I have since set for one of my creations) which made all my upper body feel hot (and that happened on a cold day) and seemed to have opened my third eye like no other crystal ever did. This actually might be for an other post about what crystals can “do”.

I’m really wondering what these crystals are trying to “tell” me when the communication works by vibration. Has anyone had a similar experience? And if so, what did you do/learn?

Wondering about a stone you love and that I haven’t blogged about?

Any questions about Dore Creations and custom orders, postage, policies etc?

Feel free to ask on Dore Creations fan page or in the comments of this post, or via private message. I’d be more than happy to help. If the question can benefit a large number I will write a post about it…

I am so excited about what this year is going to bring. New creations, more advanced wiring techniques, a broader spectrum of clients and experiences. I am now offering my creations for sale on both eBay and Etsy. I am continually trying to improve on all fronts: designs, techniques, marketing and so on. And as a full time mother of a baby and a toddler this is quite a challenge, as I learn everything by myself, from the creation part to the marketing part. I’m so glad with how things are going and so grateful to learn more and more every day. There is not a single day that I don’t learn something new and try out something new. Today I managed to make my own store banner and added the Etsy tab to my fan page. All by myself . I’m nowhere near a “computer nerd” but I sure am becoming one as I go along .

I hope all of you also are one with the energy of this year and enjoying your creativity fully at work, whatever work you might be doing (and I trust that whether you are an entrepreneur or not, there’s always room for creativity!).

Love to all,

Weena @ Dore Creations
