a primal place

finished 'inner sanctum' earrings - it took a long while to work through the design... but i ultimately relied upon interpreting my space... my inner sanctum is ancient... like a clearing in a forest - green with lichen growing on fallen stumps... breezes blow through the leaves, creating rustling noises... small shafts of light filter through the tree cover... and a trickling stream is heard in the distance... 


these 'journey' earrings were designed for the love my art jewelry giveaway this week... the powerful symbol of the unending circle, combined with papers preserved in resin that encourage one to live... hand dyed fibers in beautiful blue/green... and iolite - a stone for spiritual seekers which helps to balance the yin/yang energies... if you haven't entered, please do - the rules are on the site...

  3. you are a mighty fine soul, miss maire. your inner sanctum is where we would all like to be. but it is yours alone. mine may be different. i like the way you think. and i can picture myself in the dappled leaves of that sunny woods soaking up the quiet peace.

  5. I love how the inner sanctum earrings came out - the metal dangles on them are really a great touch! And your sanctum sounds a lot like mine...except I think I can hear the distant crash of surf in mine rather than the stream ;-)
