🌸 Chapter Seventeen — Horizons in Stone

Landscape Jasper — a desert scene carved by the earth itself.
I wrapped it in copper and placed a small Tiger Eye bead above it, like a sun watching over the horizon.

It feels less like jewelry and more like a tiny portal — a reminder that the world is carried inside the stone.

🐊 Chapter Sixteen — Living With Giants

Broome is paradise, but it’s also wild.
Crocodiles remind you that you’re never the biggest force here.
Respect the land, respect the waters — or learn the hard way.

🌞 Chapter Fifteen — Sunsets Were Religion Here

Every evening the town gathered on the sand.
The sun melted into the ocean, and for a few minutes, everything stopped.
We didn’t worship the sun — we shared it.

🌿 Chapter Fourteen — Roots in Red Earth

A lone tree, clinging to red cliffs, reaching for turquoise seas.
Broome taught me about resilience — how beauty grows strongest where the contrast is sharpest.

🌅 Chapter Twelve — The People of Broome
It wasn’t only the land that changed me here — it was the people.
Broome friends are wild, free, and unapologetically themselves.

On this sand we danced, laughed, spun fire, shared meals, and secrets.
This town taught me what community feels like — the kind where you can fully express yourself, and nobody flinches.

Broome is red rocks, sunsets, and ocean tides…
but it’s also this: a tribe that holds you when you burn bright, and when you burn out.

🌅 Chapter Eleven — The Last Sunset in Broome
Four years ago, I arrived here saying, “I’m not creative. I don’t have any artist in me.”
Broome disagreed.

This land taught me to weave copper into talismans, to dance with fire, to let art spill out of me in ways I didn’t know I had.
Now I own my own jewelry business. I perform with flames and get paid to do it. I’ve painted forests that glow back at night.

This photo was taken on my very last sunset here — fire in my hands, ocean at my back.
A closing scene, and a reminder: sometimes the land shapes you more than you shape it.

Chapter 10 — They Always Come Back

🌊 A custom pair for a friend who wanted to wear the ocean, the music, and the movement.
Curves that catch the light like a wave’s edge, beads that sway with the beat.

Every now and then, she messages me in a small panic — “I’ve lost one!”
And somehow, every time, it finds its way back to her. 🤞

Some pieces just refuse to leave their person.

Chapter 9 — The Weight I Carry

🛠 Every piece you’ve seen starts here — wire, pliers, and a handful of tools worn smooth from use.

Right now, they travel with me in a backpack… along with stones I’ve collected, spools of wire, and even a small hammer.
It’s getting heavy, sure — but this is the weight of my craft.

Some people carry souvenirs. I carry the means to make them.

Chapter 8 — The Sun That Waits

🌅 Tiger Eye, wrapped in copper and crowned with pearls — a little sun resting on the red rocks of Broome.

People stop me to compliment it all the time. They touch the copper, tilt it to catch the light in the stone, and say “Wow.”
And yet… somehow, it’s still waiting for its person.

Maybe some pieces are patient like that — knowing exactly when and who they’re meant to follow home.

Chapter 7 — The Sea Tried to Claim It

🌊 Golden amber wrapped in copper — a little sun caught in a tidepool.

Getting this shot wasn’t easy. I waded in just far enough for the water to kiss the rock, waiting for the right shimmer of light… and for the waves not to steal my work.
A few times the ocean almost won.

But in the end, we caught it — still warm from the last rays of the day, glowing like it was lit from within.
