Update #7: 3 days to go: 50% funded!

Posted on January 3, 2011

only three days to go, and almost 50% funded....

i just want to thank everyone who has made such kind and generous donations. out of your pockets, from your hearts, this grassroots effort feels like success already- because of YOU!

this entire process has been lengthy and constant [almost sick of my own tweets by now!] but as a result of the constant attention on my business, i've been flooded with creativity, ideas, possibilities and huge thoughts of expansion. i'm feeling the energy, momentum and dynamism of your support and solidarity. i can't wait to share these new shifts with you- so stay tuned!

i feel you all standing with me, and this support encourages me to move forward. thank you for your positivity, praises and abundance along the way!

love and light,

I rejoice in others' successes, knowing there is plenty for us all.
I am constantly increasing my conscious awareness of abundance,
and this reflects in a constantly increasing income.
My good comes from everywhere and everyone.
All is well in my world.

Connected as Swati Jr Sarah

Picture
Swati Jr* Jewelry is the creation of Saraswati J. [nicknamed Swati Jr* by a friend]. A self-proclaimed artist and visionary, color and texture never cease to astonish me.

I love to create bold statements with jewelry- especially through asymmetry or through slight oddity. If there can be an added element of simplicity, all the better. Indigenous art, ritual pieces and goddess adornments are most spectacular to me.

As a yogi, I am influenced greatly by consciousness, Nature, creativity and uplifting others. My work is inspired by my practice. Tying my practice in with my creative process seems like an ideal partnership. I hope you feel the same.
