I’ve been going through my design book (I take pictures of my jewelry designs for reference) and have realized that I did a heap of creative designs when I was healing from my sprained ankle last year.
Being laid up on the lounge with an elevated ankle (with heaps of arnica ointment and firmly bandaged) I made jewelry so I would feel useful as I was feeling rather frustrated by not being able to do virtually anything else.
So the rest that helped the badly sprained ankle heal really quickly was also good for the business. I certainly didn’t feel that way at the time so it is really good to see the results now.

These make beautiful presents with their rich tones in the handmade lampwork glass and crystals.
Best wishes,
Belinda
