a ten minute walk from my home in Santa Cruz thousands & thousands of monarch butterflies migrate to a grove of eucalyptus trees at the same time every year. I spent many days observing, listening, wondering, crying. How can something be so magnificent ? Butterflies literally turn to gooey mush inside of their cocoons. They completely change their cellular make-up & transform into a completely new being. But still have a remembrance & innate knowledge of what to do & where to go next. It made me think how we as humans most certainly have an innate knowing within us, as well- for what to do & where to go next. We just are so often distracted by other voices & things that our inner voice, our inner knowing, gets drowned out. So with each bend of wire & each knot of macrame I wove in intention of finding enough silence to listen to this inner knowing, to trust ourselves, to find strength & courage & trust in the dark that we are transforming into something so grand & so beautiful. 🦋metamorphosis collection available this Friday 12/14🦋

hi, my name is Annabelle. 🦋 I am smart, capable, ambitious, independent, driven, inspired, thoughtful, vivacious & charismatic. Abundance flows like water, I just wait at the dock. I am 25 years old & can see myself growing, changing, shifting, maturing, rapidly. I’m proud of who I am, how far I have come & where I am going. I have an extreme amount of blessings & I am constantly supported by my friends, family, community, Jah, Mother Earth, la Luna, father sun, the grass, flowers, wind, sky, sweet fresh water & roaring seas. I am a daughter of the earth & sister of the stars & I feel that deeper than my flesh. I am a perfectly composed being by Goddess herself & I am here for a reason. I was given knowledge & gifts upon arrival to share, to heal, to love. & I refuse to live a mediocre life. I will beam like the sun & reflect your light & I will transform into depths of darkness that you can fall for ever into. I want to hug u & hold ur hand & show u that it’s safe here. I wanna get to know you guys, if u got a moment please introduce urself 💕 🦋METAMORPHOSIS COLLECTION AVAILABLE THIS FRIDAY 12/4🦋
This turquoise&clearquartz piece along with these giant brass cypher earrings will both be available ✨

🦋Metamorphosis; a change of the form or nature of a thing or person into a completely different one, by natural or supernatural means.

This year has been one of the most insanely growth-filled years of my life. I took space away from a very important relationship I had been in. Set new boundaries. Learned a new narrative of love & relationships. I moved 8 hours away from all my family & friends into a tiny apartment with two strangers in Santa Cruz & really went inward. I had (still have, of course) so much work to do on myself & I felt like being surrounded with all the people I love was a continuous distraction from myself. I truly felt like I had been a little caterpillar & when I got away from a comfort zone I was shoved into a cocoon. It felt dark & I really had no idea what the fuck was going on with myself or what was going to come from it. I cried a lot, I did a lot of meditation & fasting & painting & writing, made music. I drank lots of tea & walked alone many evenings as the sun set, searching for “answers” & comfort inside myself. I have so much work to do STILL on myself. But I do feel like I was able to come full circle & break out of my cocoon & grow some wings. I feel like a completely different person. Honestly I’m almost back into little caterpillar girl again 🙈I know life has continual cycles of death & rebirth, moving inward & expressing outward.
in the depth of exploration of this concept of metamorphosis as a human being, lots of art poured out of me. My metamorphosis collection will be available VERY soon.
Keep your eyes peeled.

when someone tells me I can’t make art for a living & that having a 9-5 job & being a slave to someone else is the only way to be “successful”. you can do whatever u put ur time/mind/energy into. Jus don’t give up on yourself & your dreams. Anything is possible 🐝 what’s somethin ur workin towards & neva gonna give up on ?

lately I’ve been thinking a lot about expressions of sexuality & the beliefs & limits & ideas I hold. For a long time I felt very much so like I wanted to break through the idea that you can’t be sexy & provocative while also being extremely intellectual & knowledgeable. I felt that sharing images of my body & expressing myself was empowering for me & showed me that I can be comfortable in my skin & not hide myself out of fear of sexualization. Then those thoughts shifted into the idea that I am being sexualized regardless of if that’s my intention or not, & that I don’t want to be viewed as a sexual object, I want to be respected for my art, my story, my ambition, my knowledge. I deleted all the photos that showed “too much skin” & felt that I should hide my body out of fear of how I am being received. But I’m finding now how much that has put a blockade on this divine feminine being that lives within me. A woman who wants to move freely & be bare skinned & be provocative with out fear or shame. i suppose each day is a new day to find a balance within yourself for what feels right for you. I’m still trying to find my balance. I don’t want to hide any parts of myself or feel that I am not respected & seen for all parts of myself. But I suppose if we can see OURSELVES, than nothing else in the world should matter. That’s something I really need to keep in mind as my ideas & constructs change so fluidly. So I guess I wanna ask you guys, what does your balance look like to you ? Do you feel like your views are consistently skewed by what you see around you & who you’re influenced by ? Do you have fear around expressing sexual energy ?
