Grounding Pear

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 15:31:58 -0400

$22.00
2" high, comes with golden bag, $22
Hold this little pear in your hand, close your eyes, and remind yourself of the calm centered place in the core of your being. Feel the smooth surface, the heavy weight, and relax completely.
The more you handle the pear, the more ki (spiritual energy) it will absorb. The unglazed surface will develop a patina specific to you over time. You can paint it, dye it, wax it, or steep it in tea to make it more your own. Whether you use it during your daily meditation or simply put in a special place, we hope our ‘Grounding Pear’ will help connect you to your true nature.

Antler necklace

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 11:57:50 -0400

$250.00
Make a bold statement with this impressive 10" necklace. Made from a single two-point deer antler, this pendant is hung on a hand- coiled brass wire ring secured with copper wire. Finished with a bone bead and suspended from a brown braided cord, this necklace is an original work of art.
From the stone to the antler tip, it measures 10" in overall length, the width is approximately 4 1/2" from tip to tip.

Fish collage necklace

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 11:57:50 -0400

$150.00
This necklace began with a shell and a piece of wood found on a walk in the woods near our house in Oregon. The image suggested a fish, so the findings were assembled from fishing tackle parts and the piece was embellished with turquoise beads, lead weights, a bone bead, and a duck feather.
This pendant is an original work of art that you can hang up on a wall or wear as jewelry.
Approximate dimensions are 6" x 3", it is hung with a natural linen cord.

Fetish totem necklace

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 11:57:50 -0400

$125.00
I think that the bone bead on this necklace, combined with elk hair and a small antler, suggests a totem or fetish, vaguely African in character.
The elk hair was found stuck on a blackberry thorn during a walk in the woods near our house in Oregon. The hair is secured in a .22 shell casing found on the same walk. The antler was from our collection of found objects.
This is an original work of art that can be displayed (it's hanging over our dining table right now) when not being worn.
It measures approximately 4-4 1/2" in length.

Red Heart Bird

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 11:57:49 -0400

$200.00
A tiny piece of blood red felt tucked into a small hole in the wood fragment suggests a heart. Overall, the image created in this found object sculpture resembles a bird to me, but you may find your own image within.
It began with a wonderful piece of wood, found on a walk in the woods near our house in Oregon. It sat on our table of found objects for weeks while we played with different arrangements and materials. We are delighted with this final composition of wood, feather, copper, bone, brass, lead, and fir.
It measures 9" x 2 1/2" overall. It may be hung on the wall when not being worn, it has a great presence all by itself.

Hoyouwerlikt Necklace

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 11:57:49 -0400

$125.00
The grain of the fir in this round, combined with the pair of feathers and elk hair tuft, reminds me of a little guy with a tail. There is a sense of animation in the piece.
I named it 'Hoyouwerlikt' because it means 'nice necklace' and it's impossible to pronounce (ho yo oo wer likt, in case you were wondering) and who names necklaces anyway?
The elk hair was collected on a walk in the woods near our house and is secured within a .22 shell casing found on the same walk. The fir round is from fallen branches in our yard, sanded to a buttery smoothness.
It measures about 5" long, the fir round is 2 1/2" wide. It has two jade beads and two smaller turquoise beads.

Limpet shell and abalone necklace

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 11:57:49 -0400

$150.00
This began with a silvery piece of wood I found on a walk in the woods near our house in Oregon. It inhabited our found objects table for weeks as I tried this and that to complete a little sculpture with it. Eventually, an sea theme emerged and I finished it with abalone shells, a limpet shell, and fishing tackle for findings.
Hung on a natural linen cord, the piece measures approximately 4" wide and 3" high overall.
