Gemstone Bolo Tie Slides ~ Stone Variety and Custom Cut Designs

a cafe mom's pic

Today I decided to post about bola or also known as bolo tie slides.

There are many varieties available. I learned this very quickly when I started

creating jewelry. I am going to share my knowledge of our gemstone bolo ties.

  I will have photos of actual pieces we   custom cut. This will help you understand the vast possibilities of colors ,styles, cuts and different types of gemstones.    (Picture above is our Texas Plume Moss Agate Slide)

 
 

 I have to warn you, I am not the best at perfect sentences etc... I love to write and create and sometimes ideas and thoughts go faster than expected :) I get so interested in sharing thoughts and ideas that the formality of writing tends to break my train of thought. If you can look beyond this or it doesn't bother you then we're in great shape to have a Blogging good time :)

I also hope those that want to comment (clean material please, I am blogging and ahem, it is a children friendly site!) Please do so. Want to share your articles, tips. expertise or blog about Positively good things to share.You can email me or post your comments etc... Our blogs are meant to share a great variety of subjects and content! ex (Some days are just blogging about life and what comes to mind that day )

OKAY OKAY ENOUGH OF THAT ALREADY!

Let's take a look at bolo slides in purple: amethyst, plume moss jasper, dendritic.. lavender different rocks and patterns of purples and amethyst.Each one creates a unique piece of art or jewelry.

This happens when you use different amethyst rocks. Amethyst with inclusions and layers of mixed minerals, your specific cuts of slabs. The angle or direction you cut your rock and thickness of your slab also contributes how your jewelry
or art will look when finished going through the lapidary process.

here are some photos to give you an idea of

what I am trying to explain :)

Both bolo tie slides are cut from Same Amethyst Rough Rock , different slabs, different cut at angles though

WELCOME : My first post for FOXJEWELS

Starting on a positive beginning :)

Found this article and wanted to share it with you!

There is always something to be positive about even
in situations where it feels life is at it's worst.
Consider it a new opportunity to learn and grow from.

Tigeriron Tie Clasp created from rough rock

Perhaps the same adversity that you are struggling with
will be the opportune moment that a new doors opens to
bring peace and happiness. I know, hard to imagine as you face
difficult times, but so true when you are able to look back and see
how far you have grown.

It's like a gemstone being tested in the fire to degrees of such intensity.
When finished the results are astonishing!

Remember you are not alone, even when things seem so bleek.
It is getting through it that matters :)

Hope you enjoy this material. I also hope I posted it correctly :)

Better to post and learn than not post and not take chances.

How'>http://www.wikihow.com/Create-an-Abundance-Mentality">How to Create an Abundance Mentality

From wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit
Much of society seems to be built on a scarcity mentality. It's a mentality that tells people that there is a lack in life, that opportunities are few and far between. This is, of course, useful for society because if people feel that there is a lack, then you can get them to buy stuff. And so the economy and society can continue to live and prosper by reinforcing a scarcity mentality in people.The scarcity mentality can be quite painful for the individual and create a lot of unnecessary fear, anxiety and desperation. An abundance mentality, on the other hand, tells you that there are always new chances and opportunities. This relieves much of the pressure you may feel if you have a scarcity mentality that makes you think that you've only got one shot right now. Or it makes you feel like an utter failure just because you stumbled and things didn’t work out. An abundance mentality can help you improve your performance since with it, you’re creating a lot less pressure and anxieties within your own mind.Here are a few tips to create and reinforce your own abundance mentality.


Steps

Look for the symptoms of a scarcity mentality. If you have a scarcity mentality then you will probably take things too seriously. You may think to yourself: “If I fail, the sky will fall”. It probably won’t, though. But you think it will, you become overly nervous and POOF! you have created a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure because your inner, self-created negativity puts obstacles on your path to success. If it’s a game, then you may fumble with the ball. If it’s an exam, then you may not have been able to sleep and will perform poorly on the test. If it’s a date, you may come over as too needy and nervous and not as your usual, more relaxed self.

1. Focus on the abundance, not on the lack. What you focus on, you will see in your world. Since you can’t take in all impressions around you, your reticular activation system – your focus system in the mind – will bring into focus what you focus your thoughts on.This will allow you to see the abundance in your world that you may be missing right now. If you, for instance, have a lack of money, then don’t focus on your lack. Focus and think about the abundance of possibilities in the world to make money. Soon ideas and opportunities to make that happen will start to “pop up” in your world. It’s almost a bit freaky how things that holds solutions for you – perhaps books or acquaintances – that have been there in the background for quite a while just one day suddenly jump out at you.
2. Appreciate. One quick way to revert from the pretty normal habit of thinking about what you don’t have is simply to appreciate. Appreciate your food, life, your roof, your friends and family and so on. This can not only turn a sour mood into a more positive one within minutes, but it can also help you notice possibilities you have missed or forgotten. And it'll create a more open vibe within you, a vibe that makes it easier to focus on the abundance. So, make habit of appreciating for a few minutes each day.
   
3. Get an abundance vibe from other people. Since you get a scarcity mentality from, say, advertising and media, then you can change your input to change your mentality. Cut down on watching the news. Record your favourite shows and skip the commercials. Or just cut down on your TV and media consumption, period. Replace the scarcity vibe your get from that input. How do you do that? “Hang out” with people that have an abundance mentality. Read, listen to and watch personal development material. Besides reading your favourite personal development blogs, read success stories in books and magazines. Have a positive attitude to the abundance and success of your friends, family and co-workers. Hang out with people in real life who have more of an abundance mentality and less of a scarcity mentality. Be selective with what you put into your mind. Create your own environment of abundance.
   
4. Share the wealth. One very good way to acknowledge how much you have is to share it. Do you feel like you're not making enough money? Give some away. Not enough love? Give some away. Not enough validation, appreciation, recognition? Give it all away. It's hard for something to feel scarce when you're giving it away.
5. Create win-win situations. People with a scarcity mentality tend to see every relationship is win-lose, as in: "It's either you or me, buddy, and I want it to be me." People with an abundance mentality, on the other hand, try to create mutually beneficial relationships in which both parties can win.[1] Instead of winning an argument, for example, try to reach a consensus that you both can be happy with. Instead of competing, collaborate.
6. Remind yourself. It’s very easy to slip back into your old thought patterns. You just forget about what you should be thinking about. A useful tool to keep yourself from slipping is to use external reminders. You can, for example, use written notes posted at places you can’t avoid seeing several times each day – your workspace, fridge and mirrors – or put a bracelet on your wrist. Seeing words or quotes that remind you of your new abundance mentality can help your mind snap back into the right headspace once again.

Tips:
When the feeling of scarcity is strong, remember previous times when you had an abundance. Realize that you can recreate similar circumstances once again.

• 
  
  
  A real-world example of the abundance mentality is the "copyleft" movement, which focuses on loosening the restrictions of traditional copyrights.[2] More and more people are licensing their work with GFDL, Creative Commons, or even releasing it into the public domain. For example, Leo Babauta, founder of the popular Zen Habits blog, decided to release all of his content into the public domain.[3] Many programmers share software and programs freely in the spirit of open source.[4]

Warnings

• 
  
  
  Don't get so carried away with an abundance mentality that you become a people pleaser who lets people take advantage of your generosity. Remember to surround yourself with people who also have an abundance mentality, who give as much as they take, or else "parasites" will drain you and eventually leave you with a scarcity mentality.
