EXOTICNESS for an ANCIENT QUEEN

Kambaba Jasper and pewter beads frame a large pewter pendant of Queen Nefertiti.  I love the large chunky feeling of this breathtaking stone and exotic Queen from history.  Jasper is found worldwide and has been revered by the Ancient Egyptians and Israelites as well as the modern peoples of Asia and indigenous tribes of North America.

I found working with this stone to be transporting,  Kambaba Jasper is actually fossilized algae mined in South Africa.  Blue-Green Algae once living over 3 billion years ago. Grounding, humbling and keeping me so in touch with the soul of Mother Earth.

Spirit of Ancient Egypt

Working four custom orders for Ancient Egyptian Jewelry over the weekend.  Three Ancient Egyptian Eye of Horus bracelets made with the bronze metal clay - hand-cast and fired in my kiln.  Two of these Eyes of Horus are to be made into bracelets for a stunning Egyptian Priestess.  The gemstones for the first bracelet is made with Green Jasper - deep green like the primitive jungles where our spirits first communed with nature.  The other bracelet is  Brown and Red Tiger Eye so reminiscent of the desert where the sun of Ancient Egypt feeds our KA with celestial energy.

The third Eye of Horus pendant is to be made into an anklet  made with Lapis.  Lapis the gemstones of the Gods, gifting us ancient knowledge and awareness.  My first anklet and I am so looking forward to making it.  The last custom piece is a beautiful bronze Ancient Egyptian Khepra Cartouche.  This beautiful cartouche will be made into a gorgeous necklace  - the client and I have not decided on the gemstones.  Still basking in the beauty of this new custom cartouche - it came out perfect the first time.
