The story of the Ghost Beads – Juniper Berries

Ghost Bead Necklace

Visit my Etsy Shop and view these and a few other favourites of mine.

The juniper berry falls to the ground and when ants find these little seeds  they chew off the end and eat the inside of the berry. The Juniper berry is hollow easily to be dried out. Artisans make a hole in the opposite end of the berry and string them in harmony with nature to be worn to ward off evil spirits bringing the wearer protection and harmony.  The tradition holds a legend that the person given the necklace is protected from evil spirits, ghosts and of nightmares.

 

These beads are of nature and are a perfect gift if not to be worn these could be hung in your bedroom, reading place, work space or anywhere wishing to be at peace and with nature and harmony in life.

On my trip across Canada September 2014 I purchased strings of Juniper berries to make my necklaces in the Grand Canyon Region, a magnificent spot.

Thank you for stopping by,

My work in the shop has me creating pretty little wee things for my granddaughter’s hair. I’ve purchased clips and flowers and together with seaglass have turned them into hair clips.

AcryLic Flower NeckLace

Just around the corner!

Spring is?

If your like me – at this time of year I start looking two ways for Spring… especially after the Winter we just went through.  

I thought I’d put a little Spring into my step while I wait it out.

At a beading group of purchased a baggie of acrylic flowers from a lady and have been wanting to make a necklace with them every since.  The last road trip I went on I took my tools and these acrylic flowers and designed this

Spring Fling Necklace

 I’m wondering if I should add this necklace to my Etsy Shop.  I’ll have to think of how I could package it so it didn’t get damaged. 

Happy Spring Bead’n
