Even if you are a beginner, you can feel like an accomplished designer.
If you are an experienced designer, you get some new ways to create fresh, exciting looks for yourself and your clients.
The outer world is increasingly going bonkers.
Personal circumstances can be challenging.
You may be feeling stressed, restless, anxious.
Or lonely, depressed or have low energy.
Then someone tells you to "just work that stress off in a gym".
Ahem! That's not for me - and might not be for you either.
Or they say you should "sit still and meditate yourself into being relaxed and happy".
But who can sit still when the nervous system is rattled and the mind is going in circles like an Indie race car on steroids?
Creating with your hands is the oldest and most natural way
- to calm the nerves and feel happy and joyful again,
- to build lasting neurological pathways in the brain for feeling calm, relaxed and peaceful.
Special benefit when you create with your hands:
you get RESULTS that you can SEE and WEAR!
Your consciously handmade jewelry pieces are your personal power tools - so you can feel the way you want to .
"Monika, what you are offering is something so special.
I haven't seen anything like it.
I must say I quite enjoy the freedom to splash paint freely.
It took me out of my comfort zone. It is quite liberating."

"I always thought that your art must be complicated and involved.
But your concept is so simple. It's brilliant!"

"Been watching your videos all evening! Sooo many ideas........
The videos are excellent!
I used to evaluate teachers for UT (University of Texas). I can tell you were a teacher. Very organized and concise.
With so many courses I feel like I wasted my time and money.
I am loving your course!"

Jewelry is such a fun way to go from feeling blah to feeling wow - with even just a pair of earrings.
"For however long I can remember, I have been creating things.
Growing up in post World War II Germany, resources were scarce.
Gifts were made with whatever was at hand. We made water wheels from leaves and twigs, houses from cardboards, and made necklaces from flowers.
In 6th grade I started making my clothes from old curtains from the attic.
Creating is like food and water for me. I cannot imagine life without experimenting, playing and engaging creatively.
And that's what my art teacher never liked: experimenting, coming up with my own methods. I couldn't just do the rules. Somehow I always invented.
Not as a rebellion. I was a shy kid.
It's just natural to me to experiment and create intuitively.
But when my art teacher hissed at me for 6 years that I had no creative bone in my body, and that God must have been asleep when He created me, it did affect me. (You most likely have a similar story.)
But our natural urge to create can never be extinguished.
