Awhile back I did an interview with one my mental health heroes, Fr. Joseph Girzone, who talked about carving sculptures from bars of soap to escape his depression. Now I interview another mental health hero, Priscilla Warner (who runs The Faith Club, here at Beliefnet’s Community and who is a candidate for Beliefnet’s Member of the Month contest) on a creative way she has transformed some of her anxiety and grief into art: by making jewelry. Pretty cool, huh?
Watch this video and you’ll see her beautiful beading.

Thanks Therese~Great video. I would love to know how to contact the woman making the jewelry to purchase and also find out where in NYC those great little shops are. Does she sell online?

And, the last clip of her wearing 15 necklaces was “friendship by the pound”? : )

Glad you caught that, Kate.
Yes, that last shot is definitely “friendship by the pound!”
I got a bit carried away by beading, as many people do. It really turned into a healthy addiction! Altho my work space got to be, shall we say, a bit crowded and, um, unorganized….
And Maggie – The Faith Club took off, we traveled a great deal and I haven’t been selling jewelry too much, but you can always email me at my profile page here at Beliefnet- I do have lots of inventory! The shops I talked about in New York are mostly on West 37th Street or in the 20′s on Broadway. Also a couple on 6th Ave @ 40th Street – happy hunting!

Nice to “meet” you, Priscilla!
I’m with the other commenters — was that “beading” or “beating” (your poor neck) that you were talking about in the last segment? ;-P

You’ve made this clumsy-fingered jewelry lover want to give beading a try. I can fully appreciate the peace that creating something of beauty brings.
