clay thai amulet
tibetan double terminated quartz crystal (not a herkimer diamond, they are double terminated as well but mined only in the area of herkimer, ny, usa) with a bit of rainbow trapped inside...
red is an auspicious color in tibetan culture offering protective qualities...
muslin stamped with 'thoughts, words, actions'
if we choose them with intention, our inner and outer worlds come into harmony...
Wear a Prayer.

Gorgeous piece. Love the intricate cage :o)
ReplyDeleteIs it OK to pin this. I did, but I will remove if you want. :)
ReplyDeleteVery lovely piece friend!!! I love your metal cage with the 'touch of rainbow trapped inside', what a cool concept. Some rainbow to keep on hand for when you need it most. Your work is amazing!!!

A great piece Mary Jane!
ReplyDeleteMD-beautiful balance and a piece imbued with spirit. B
ReplyDeletePowerful piece~ And your explanations of each element add to its richness~
ReplyDeleteAs you contemplate this piece you wonder "is the power of the crystal caged or is it set on display as a reminder of what we hold within"?-- caged, if we refuse to acknowledge it or are unaware of it or powerfully displayed in our behavior, our creativity, our thoughts, our way of being in the world. In such a monochromatic setting, it's interesting how the subtle color of the amulet is so colorful and can hold its own with the red accent from the fiber. And all of it contrasts so beautifully against the dark background. Calm and compelling, all at once!
ReplyDeleteI love the new background, by the way.
ReplyDeleteThe quartz crystal is like a lantern of love and hope. Subtle but essential. This is a very beautiful piece. I wish you wrote about your thoughts and feelings while you create, the string of associations that flows through your mind. It would take us on a lovely journey.
