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.

Solar Divinity the Tiger Eye

I recently received several orders for metal clay Eyes of Horus/Ra with Tiger Eye.  I made my first one for a very wonderful Egyptian Priestess.  I so fell in love with this piece myself it was like tearing out my heart to send to her. So beautiful, uplifting and positive feeling - definite energies of RA or Horus.


Such a lovely piece using bronze metal clay, bronze beads and the positive, solar Tiger Eye.  A definite stone of courage and warmth.  It is fantastic for increasing your will power.  I find this wonderful stone promotes my personal power, definitely boosts my confidence and gives me a shield against negativity and dark magic. Ancient Roman soldiers wore pieces of Tiger Eye engraved for luck in battle.


This is such a powerful bracelet along with the Bronze beads the Bronze focal - The Eye of Ra/Horus radiates such positive power.  So many descriptions, ideas, feelings come to mind that evoke the very feeling this wonderful Eye and awesome gemstone energy encompasses being  - RA, Horus, the Sun, solar energies, divinity, royalty, Kemet {Ancient Egypt} hawk, falcon, warrior, destruction, salvation, shield, protection, benevolence, masculine energy, reason and math. I could go on and on but you get the picture.

The Egyptian Eye of Ra  - Ra is the Great Hawk and creator of all, he is associated with the sun at its many phases. The Eye of Ra symbolizes the sun's fiery destructive power.  In various mythologies Ra sends his Eye to destroy humans who had fallen into wickedness. 

As the Eye of Horus; the Eye symbolizes all seeing, all nourishing and protection.  Horus is the celestial falcon who has flown to the ends of the universe, he is associated with the Pharaoh and seat of power on earth, called Horus of the Two Horizons - again with solar inference.  The Eye of Horus also represented when broken into pieces the idea of fractions - it served not only a finite purpose but a symbolic one of being deconstructed to form a whole.  A powerful amulet used by Ancient Egyptians and by many today for its protection and healing properties.

Looking forward to making several more of these in the bronze clay medium with different gemstones - especially the different gemstones that resonate with Ancient Egypt.  Of course I love all gemstones and truly they all have such amazing energies which  I call their focus - the abilities they bring to the table that can assist us with our personal workings.  Along with having wonderful individual personalities it is truly a blessing to work with gemstones and weave them into beautiful creations that assists others to achieve their dreams.

Ancient Egyptian - The Eye of Horus

The Eye of Horus, inspired by ancient Egyptian jewelry I have seen in museums (behind glass to my dismay).  I must say after learning to work with metal clay and some wonderful pointers from a fellow AF guild member (Kelly) I really enjoy this medium.  The sky is the limit for creations.  While being a lover of Ancient Egypt and especially Egyptian jewelry my mind reels at the possibilities for amulets, cartouches, and tiny statuary, I can see how pagan along with Wiccan spiritual symbols can so easily be created.  Not to mention any other spiritual themed design  be it Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddist.  This is only the tip of the iceberg, anything your imagination captures a hold of this metal clay can create – just like playing with clay as a kid (almost).  I am looking forward to creating Ankh rings, Lotus bracelets, tiny Egyptian Scarabs earrings and of course more pieces with the Eye of Horus  - my personal fav and current obsession, never straying far from my beloved Egyptian jewelry.
