Having done over hundred of dreamcatchers, there are always themes that seem to make me want to recreate them in a different way. Here was a previous Yin & Yang design I worked on.

The concept was fairly simple, but I handpainted the feathers to look like the beautiful symbol;10639685_10152460759732058_4216526022264258195_nIt’s been long overdue & this design has been swimming around in my head for awhile now, I finally took the time to create it. My revamped Yin & Yang dreamcatcher; 10262130_10152495762037058_7882053004152114310_nThe Yin & Yang is an ancient symbol of balance and harmony. I used two healing crystal beads for this design. A moonstone and a labradorite (both my favourites!).

The moonstone enhances intuition. promotes inspiration, brings success in love and business & the labradorite is known to enhance strength of will and helps assist when faced with changes as well as challenges.

Can’t wait to start using more healing crystals and gemstones in my work. I love how it has more meaning and purpose behind it than it being just wearable art.

Lord Ganesha is probably one of the best-known and worshipped Hindu gods. Others may know him as the elephant god as Ganesha has an elephant’s head. Being the remover of obstacles, I’ve always had a personal liking to Ganesha especially since my mom would make an effort to make a stop at the Ganesha temple every morning before going to work, or my dad would always drive past the temple to pray in whenever he left the house. Ganesha has always been a favourite in my household, and that rubbed off on me.

I’m probably not the most religious person, but I believe that my prayers and thoughts on it are between me and god. This however is a completely different story all together. Coming back to Ganesha, I’ve made dreamcatchers incorporating him in them and the response has been overwhelming. I take this as a sign of blessing;IMG_20140904_135800IMG_20140904_153236IMG_20141028_230053I love how I was able to incorporate something that was significant to my life and learn that it was equally as significant to others. The first one I made was completely by chance (exactly how most of my designs come to life) and I am so happy to have had this idea come to me.

IMG_20140829_155350IMG_20140829_174455Today is Vinayagar Chaturthi, the Hindu festival to celebrate the god Ganesha; remover of obstacles, of new beginnings and wisdom.

& as tradition would have it, I create dreamcatchers with different themes and ideas, incorporating elements of each festival. This time I decided I would make one to get blessed for me.

Wishing all of you a blessed day & may all your obstacles be removed. Sending you love and light.

When Deeper Than Fashion first started, it was known as Rainbow’s Doodles. I started off wanting to merely sell some of my handmade creations to raise money for concert tickets my parents didn’t want to fork out for. I’ll forever be grateful they didn’t. I never in my dreams expected it to turn out into what it is today and I can proudly say, all my hard work and dedication to my craft continues to pay off on a daily. Every day I wake up feeling blessed to be able to do what I love.

Taking a walk down memory lane, I can’t believe when I first started, these were my first few pieces;167878_163468920372635_2891983_n 168415_163469310372596_2605110_n 179028_163469130372614_978556_n 180052_163468940372633_8170681_nPerler beads or as I like to call them, Pixellettes (because they were pixelated, how incredibly clever of me :3). As creativity would have it, I embarked on a journey of learning new skill sets with brand new ideas and materials. 392625_281642431888616_940018818_n 316855_231087216944138_6617457_n 304411_231087230277470_5955607_nBeing a fashion student, I always had buttons lying around. I began to use those to create wearable art. Also, I had a fantastic time experimenting with tassels & fringe jewelry;405698_305566872829505_718868770_n

After which, I finally found my love for feathers. Lightweight, flowy and free, I created so many designs I’ve lost count. Here are a few of my personal favourites;242704_515417525177771_248155113_o 403070_299073740145485_307831529_n

429057_339332682786257_287632733_nSlowly I learnt new tricks with feathers, and I started painting on them;196429_446703455382512_1308251077_nHowever my most prized and favourite creations will always be… you guessed it, my dreamcatchers;402160_305566376162888_2120188939_n 408811_324080320978160_686081725_n 559866_517995334919990_2016805799_nAll the wonderful themes I created, all the magic these little pieces of jewelry provided, I can’t even explain how much joy its been to be able to go on this creative journey. The best part, creativity and ideas don’t run out. You can only evolve and become better. I truly believe I have improved over the years & promise to do so in years to come.

& I for one, am excited about it all 🙂 Thank you for being a part of my journey and growth. Here’s to a lifetime of art, happiness, love and dreams.

Walt Disney once said “If you can dream it, you can do it” & that applies perfectly to my creations.

Being a Disney kid myself, I had to come up with a tribute collection to all the dreams contributed & magic Disney brought to my childhood (and adulthood too!). You are never too old for Disney. Ever. *sprinkles magic fairy dust*

DSC_0076This necklace is a grown up way to add a little magic to any outfit. Not only does it give you the key to unlock your dreams, you also have a magic wand just incase 😉

DSC_0081What better way to add to the tribute than with a tribute to each movie? Beauty & the Beast , The Little Mermaid, Alladin & Frozen. Definitely more to come.

Incorporating dreamcatchers into anything and everything possible has become a norm to me, especially in terms of accessories. After several requests, I’ve come up with two types of dreamcatcher bracelets. Easy to match and be worn day or night, these dreamcatchers don’t just protect you from nightmares but also negative energy and bad vibes.
