CRYSTALLIZED


TODAY I LEARNT HOW TO MAKE NETTED CRYSTAL NECK PIECES BY SHARAD AKA 'AUTUMN' IN HINDI, A CRYSTAL MERCHANT FROM AGRA. HE COMES TO GOA TO SELL FOR THE SEASON BEFORE MAKING THE PILGRIMAGE BACK HOME. WE SAT IN HIS TINY SHOP WEAVING NETS WHILE CHATTING AWAY PEACEFULLY, IT WAS LIKE MEDITATION. THE BENEFITS OF DOING SOMETHING THAT TAKES TIME TO CREATE IS POWERFUL. HAVING SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL CRAFTED BY YOUR OWN HANDS IS SOMETHING I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! I THEN MET ECUADORIAN MATTEO FROM MANGO TREE WHO TRAVELS THROUGH SOUTH AMERICA SELLING NECKPIECES HAND CRAFTED, HIS LIFE TRAVELING IN HIS BACK PACK. I'M OFFICIALLY A CRYSTAL GYPSY QUEEN !
