Its roots are in muddy water, but the lotus flower rises above the mud to bloom, clean and fragrant. In Buddhist art, a fully blooming lotus flower also signifies enlightenment, while a closed bud represents a time before enlightenment.
In my goody box of Blue Moon Beads, I found a pretty glittering Lotus Pendant from their store line.
I've always loved the flower, though I never really knew the meaning. Come to find out that the meaning is very cool indeed.
What you'll need: Lotus Pendant, 2 colors of chain, Glittery beads, 2 clasp, Earring hooks, Jump rings.
I took the glittery Lotus and set it in a chain necklace with a few sparkly beads thrown in.
I didn't want to take away from the pendant, so I kept the surrounding simple.
Since it's setting was just chain, It was so easy to make a complimenting bracelet.
And earrings!
Well, there you go. I hope you are inspired and enlightened by the Lotus!
