Fiberartist and Wholistic Coach,  Joanna Ettorre, owner of Balancing Point, invites you to explore the endless possibilities in blending your own combination of stones, fibers, and glass, whether for a special piece of jewelry or as a  gem therapy tool. 

Born of her love of colorful textured fibers, her jewelry combines light, drapey crocheted fibers with semiprecious gemstone chips and glass beads for a unique piece of wearable art.  Or bring the benefits of gem therapy into a living or working space, with a miniature knitwoven tapestry, embellished with those same gemstones.  Jo teaches the stone crocheting technique for making both jewelry and clothing embellishment, in group or individual play sessions.

 

 

Just a few examples of stone leis blended for the day, and waiting to be a new blend tomorrow...

Two jewelry designs are currently available, as necklaces, bracelets, earrings and pendants--all are handcrocheted with various techniques that best compliment the gemstones and glass chosen:

Cluster necklaces are permanent, usually of one, and up to two gemstones, in a length and clasp that stays constant.

Convertible Stone leis are 36 inch strands of a single gemstone and glass mix, which can be blended by twisting together as many as you like.  They can be worn a variety of lengths, by attaching different connectors that hold the strands together, or by removing the connector for wearing strands down long.  Convertible pendants can be attached to the strands in any combination, as well as worn separately on a plain chain or neckwire.

 

 

Joanna is available for affordable private consultations, to assist clients in choosing gem therapy tools, flower essences, and homeopathic remedies more deliberately and effectively. Wholistic coaching, the format she uses, is aimed at supporting clients’ self-education on the wellness tools to which their own attention brings them.  She uses this same format for group presentations, as well. Call or e-mail for more details on these services.
