I quit the workforce and began working for myself in 2013. Back then I traded as Team Arly and I continued that way for a couple of years until 2016(?) when I decided to change my name to Venus Ascending as homage to the rise of the sacred feminine, Venus my ruling planet and also the goddess of love and beauty ~ since I truly love and enjoy beautiful things.
Then in 2017 I found the blockchain and I embraced my blogger roots and stopped creating things for my business. Even though I dabbled every now and then with resin, essential oils and acrylics since then I never really got around to making enough to stock my etsy shop until now.
My thing has always been about balancing energies. I always felt that balance can be achieved in various ways whether it be through essential oils, crystals, orgonite, colours ~ the key was always in nature, art and/or beauty.
Everything considered; the fear, the panic, the darkness ~ I felt it was time to come back and do my thing to contribute in my own way.
Since I'm currently "warming up" trying to get my orgonite mojo back, I thought I'd keep it simple and focus on simple configurations and main themes for now starting with 👇.
I wanted to add new shapes to my range, something that had meaning to it like the lotus and something relevant to now and what's going on in the world and decided on the owl.
🦉 Owls have long been a symbol of intelligence, intuition, wisdom, knowledge and magic. As creatures of the night, they have the ability to see what's hidden in the dark; beyond the veil of illusion and deception with their intuition.
Smaller than the lotus and bigger than my largest pendant, the owl is the perfect pocket sized device for your personal protection.
I also have another new shape to add to my collection but I'm still waiting for it to arrive in the mail.
People have already been asking me when I'll be restocking my etsy page and as much as I want to go live ASAP my time is limited. I can only work a few hours on weekends and even though I have pieces made they still need to be sanded down and polished.
My plan is to keep pumping out pieces until I have enough for a sanding/polishing day. I reckon a couple more weekends and I'll have enough.
The next theme I'll be doing is LOVE.
Do you have a specific theme you'd like to see? Let me know in the comments!
Ps. Technically I should be posting this on @VenusAscending but figured I'll do that for individual pieces.
