Amber Ruby and Pearls Dragon sculpture pendant

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 17:05:50 -0500

$130.00
This little Dragon has been hand made from clay coiled around a piece of natural Amber. I've used Freshwater Pearls, a deep red Ruby eye and a Sterling Silver wire bail. I like to put as much care and attention as possible into my sculptures, and this Dragon has the scaley pattern on the front and the back, and tiny teeth painted in too !
The finish is slightly shimmery, as befits a Dragon.

Amber changes negative energy into positive energy, and helps to calm the nerves. It can also purify its surroundings, including the wearers body. Amber has been used to heal throat problems.
Rubies have been worn to protect the wearer against nightmares and psychic attacks.
Pearls are a symbol of purity, charity and sincerity. They have also been used to treat digestive disorders, and to promote fertility - please note that if you love this little Dragon, and aquire extra children (or pets) after purchasing and wearing it, I won't be held responsible !

I made this piece in 1999, and it has been stored for many years, along with a few other Dragons.

This Dragon measures around 34mm x 50mm x 19mm. The bail opening is 4mm.

Mookaite, Bronze and Silver ring or pendant, you decide...

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 17:54:30 -0500

$28.50
Mookaite, also known as Windalia Radiolarite, comes from Australia. It's a beautiful gemstone, and this large bead is a combination of deep red, yellow and creamy white.
I've used quite heavy Bronze for the main part of this ring, with a little bar of Sterling Silver through the bead. The bead spins around the Silver.
The bead itself is 12mm in diameter, and the ring has an internal diameter of 17mm.
This makes it a USA 6 & 3/4 or a UK size N 1/2.

When I was creating this ring, I felt it would also make an unusual pendant, so I've photographed it with a black waxed Cotton cord attached. I'll include a good length of this cord - made up into an adjustable necklace - with the ring so you can wear it either as a ring, or a pendant.
This ring is 35mm long if worn as a pendant.

This choker is 15.5 inches long in total. The gemstone part is 4" long.

A gift bag is included.

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:40:10 -0500

This is a large, distinctly curvy (and quite Goddess-like !) pendant, made from fairly heavy gauge Bronze wire, some natural Amber pieces and two stunning Mookaite beads.

The pendant is 9cm long, and 4.5cm wide. The Mookaite beads are 12mm round.

Sumatran Tigress Original Painting

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 17:03:38 -0400

$335.00
The beautiful Sumatran Tiger has an estimated wild population of less than 400, most of which are in the National Parks of Sumatra. They are listed as Critically Endangered.
It has been discovered that the Sumatran Tiger could develop into a seperate species of Tiger, and as such should be given more protection.

These Tigers are the smallest of all the known Tigers, with males measuring 2.4 metres from their nose to the tip of their tail, females are smaller.

I have painted this Tigress in acrylics on stretched canvas and given her a huge blue sky background. Perhaps she is sunbathing somewhere in her mountain forest home.

This painting measures 60cm x 50cm. It will be shipped rolled up in a tube to save on postage costs and will require re-stretching.
If you have any questions, please convo me.

Fae Egyptia

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 15:30:53 -0400

$38.00
These special Goddess pendants have their own story...

It seems that my local Faeries have been spying on me for quite some time now...peeking through the window and watching me work. A little while ago, they finally got brave enough to actually come inside and talk to me.

They asked me if I'd create a Goddess based on them...and they already had some ideas about who would be the models for the little Fae Goddesses (I think there might have been quite some discussion about that amongst them !)

So, I created a special new Goddess - the Fae Goddess.

As requested by the Faeries themselves, there will be a limited number of these - there are only so many Faeries, after all...

This is Fae Egyptia. She carries the colours of Ancient Egypt - turquoise, deep blue, red, gold and black.

She measures 50mm across the widest part of her wings, and her body is 40mm long. She has a gold plated hand made bail set into her - this is done during the casting process. The cotton and voile necklace is 18.5 inches long, with an additional two inches of extension. A voile gift bag is also included.

All of my creations are signed and dated.

Rainbow Goddess Ltd. Edition hand embellished print

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 18:20:15 -0400

$38.00
I'm now able to offer Limited Edition prints of some of my paintings !

The original is painted in watercolours and metallic acrylics. Although this is a print, it's still a unique artwork, as I have added the metallic details by hand.
This print will be signed and numbered on the front, unless you specify otherwise.

It is printed on heavy, smooth watercolour paper, using archival quality ink.
The image size is 123mm x 173mm, and is printed on an A4 piece of paper.
The print is supplied unmounted.

I've photographed this print up close to give an idea of the slight texture the hand embellishing has given, and also on my worktable, where it's resting and waiting for you...

The colours of the actual print may vary from the colours here, due to differences in monitor settings.

This is number 2 of a Limited Edition of 20.

** Worldwide Shipping is FREE for this print **

Please note : Purchase of artwork and/or prints does NOT include the right to reproduce the work.

She measures approx. 50mm x 25mm.
This necklace is 18.5 inches long in total.
