Feral v. Untamed, wild, sassy, chic, a state of mind!
Welcome to Feralism! started by Feraldesigner, who is of course extremely Feral.
I'm a Jewellery/Artist/Designer in the Melbourne area. You may have noticed some of my handiwork about the place? If not - then please take a browse at feral-designs.com.
That apart, I am a practising Wiccan and have been for around 15 years. I believe in the power of gemstones, which I use in my designs. Just holding certain stones really does give off energy which can be used to your advantage. Take Jasper, for instance - the supreme nurturer, this stone comes in many colours and is one of my favourites. It will take care of you and look after you in times of stress.
Another one of my favourites is Labradorite, which, when placed on the forehead chakra, enhances psychic ability. This is a very understated gemstone - being a sort of non-descript grey colour, but look closely at it in the light and hidden inside you'll see brilliant flashes of the most electric blue. Truly stunning.
I've been making jewellery for yonks and am self-taught. I have a stall at The Gully Market in Upper Ferntree Gully which I run every Sunday come rain, hail or shine. I tend, as a rule, not to sell my "posh" items at the market but every so often one or two do make an appearance as if to say - hey, i'm not a total pleb, I can do great design work too! If you're in the area, look for the tent with the blue roof and pop in for a chat! I'd love to see you!
I haven't got a clue as to what this clique will be about really! Perhaps it'll be about how Feral you consider yourself to be. Who knows where this will take anyone wishing to join up!
