It has been a few weeks since I last shared a specific Dreamer Highlight post and this particular edition is long overdue. I have had these two wonderful friends and artists on my mind for some time and wanted to share with you their wonderful talents and why I am so inspired by their work.
I first met Kenetha Stanton through a friend of a friend about a year ago and she immediately inspired me to start this very blog. Since then her writing and creativity have blown me away as she continually inspires me whether she is weaving words together on her blog The Kintsugi Life or she is creating new inspirational jewelry. I have watched as her artistry has been taking to new heights in not only her magnificent rosaries, necklaces, earrings, and other pieces, but also as her list of published writing has grown. She is a woman of many talents and I am so happy to watch this artist, coach, writer, and yoga instructor live the life of her dreams as she follows her heart. Please check out her blog The Kintsugi Life where she discusses finding the beauty and strength in the brokenness of life. You can also check out her beautiful Kintsugi inspired rosaries, jewelry, prayer shawls, and so much more in her Etsy shop at The Creative Chrysalis. I have purchased several of her pieces and they are simply beautiful. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
I am also very excited to share with you an incredibly inspiring, creative, and high-energy friend of mine who I have known for many years. Tori Beth is an amazingly vibrant and creative artist/up-cycler/radio DJ who has created some truly magnificent mosaics (one of which I am so very lucky to own myself). A lover of anything with a story, Tori shares her vintage items and some of her amazing creations on her Etsy page with Fat Pony Vintage And Art. If you like things that have a story you are going to love some of her finds. And if that doesn’t make her incredibly awesome enough, she also loves digging into Earth to see what she can find with her metal detector. You don’t have to know her personally to know that she is a woman who goes where her joy flows, but I assure you when you see some of her awesome pieces like the one featured below, you will know she is a woman living the life of her dreams.
The thing I love about these two incredible women is the fact that they are able to take something broken, damaged, and older pieces to create something new. Kenetha literally creates a beautiful piece of work using her Kintsugi method and Tori takes old, broken items and breathes new life into them. There is something about blending the old and new that is inspiring and reminds me that no matter how old a dream may be, you can always find a way to breathe new life into it.
Another thing I find incredible about these two women is how they have managed to find a way to satisfy their dreams, their creativity, their passions all while not limiting themselves to only one thing. Who says you have to choose just one?? I think if we all listened to this advice, we would have more people living amazingly versatile, exciting, and inspirational lives. Are you one of those people?
I hope you take some time to check out the beautiful work in the links above and support these awesome artists (and friends) and if you know of anyone that you think should be featured in the Dreamer Highlight posts please feel free to pass them along.
