Many years ago, almost 12 years now, I stumbled upon a woman who made necklaces from the west coast that she called Superhero Necklaces. I came to her by way of a Sark binge I was on during a period in my life when I needed to...well, read Sark. Her glass beaded necklaces struck me and I almost bought one, but, for some reason forgot or didn't get around to it.
Recently, I remembered this. And, went searching for her. I found this article about her perspective on the words super hero.
It looks like her necklaces are no longer for sale: she was on maternity leave. But, here are some hilarious or vivid photographs that she took recently. Don't miss the naked man on the bike.
What's neat about her journal/blog is that the definition of superhero for her seems to have to do with how a person feels about one's self and others, traits that we are asked to nurture and explore. Her website exudes many intangibles and her necklaces seem to encapsulate this.
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin.
