i was invited to be a guest of fundametals.net - as such, jeanette sent me some items to 'play' with... let's see if you can guess what one of them was - stop by their blog to read more...
this design is based upon the egyptian shen ring... it is compromised of a circle for the cycles in life and a line across the bottom to represent the infinite... egyptians used lapis and turquoise in their adornment... lapis blue represented the heavens, water and the primeval flood... turquoise represented joy...
'when we discover the truth is already in us
we are all at once our original selves.'
~ the dogen
we are complete as represented by the circle... but need to branch out and stretch to grow... winding fibers lead to faceted spectrolite which imparts strength and supports transformation...
'(wo)man is harder than iron,
stronger than stone
and more fragile than a rose.'
~ turkish proverb
'fragile strength' earrings reiterate this point in numerous ways... etched metal appears delicate yet is sturdy... fibers made of silk... kyanite enhances tranquility and calm while quartz ensures grounding...
work in progress...
'a guest never forgets the host
who has treated him kindly.'
~ homer
thank you jeanette for this opportunity... and i have other goodies to play with... so there will be another post about that!
