Norse Rune Ceramic Pendants

Made with love on Grizzly Mountain!

I created this EIHWAZ rune from earthenware clay. It has been glazed with a rich blue glaze. No two pieces come out of the kiln the same! This pendant hangs from an 18 inch ball chain, which can be easily removed if you have a favorite chain you prefer to use.

The EIHWAZ rune, symbolizes protection, strength, reliability and enlightenment.

Whether you are a practicing Druid, or just love the art of ancient traditions, the Runic pendants found in my Good Dirt Jewelry shop, would be a unique addition to your collection.

Spiral Hand Symbol Ceramic Pendant


Along with the new Celtic Oghams, I have added a few more of my latest earthenware pendants to my Good Dirt Jewelry Etsy shop, including this Spiral Hand pendant.

The spiral is an ancient symbol reflecting the universal pattern of growth and evolution. The spiral pattern appears again and again in the natural world from the milky way galaxy to snail shells. The living spiral does not begin or end, it is an ongoing process of innocence, discovery, community, and the essence that connects all things.

New Oghams Added


I finally got a few more Celtic Ogham pendants added to my Good Dirt Jewelry Etsy shop! Things have been a little crazy around here lately, so I haven't gotten as many pieces finished as I had hoped. Oh well, I'll just consider more to later job security :)

The Sacred Salmon Earthenware Pendant


To the Celts, the fish symbolized knowledge, wisdom, the gift of prophecy and inspiration.

The Salmon of Wisdom were keepers of all knowledge. Mythology tells us that this knowledge was attained by eating the nuts of the sacred hazel tree.

I created my "Sacred Salmon" from earthenware clay. It has been glazed with a dark chili pepper red glaze. Measuring about 1 3/4" in length by 1/2" wide, this pendant hangs from an 18" ball and chain necklace. This piece is currently for sale in my Good Dirt Jewelry Etsy shop.

Getting Ready for the Holidays!


There haven't been any new additions to our "Good Dirt Jewelry" Big Cartel shop recently, and the reason being, we have a huge show coming up!

Grizzly Mountain Arts will be participating in the Native American Festival in Sisters, Oregon the last weekend in August. This wonderful show is held each year in Creekside Park, which is a perfect venue. The sight, smell and sounds of tall Ponderosa pines mixed with Native American flute music is beyond description.

What does this have to do with the Big Cartel shop? The Native American Festival will be one of our last shows of the season, so I will be adding new "Good Dirt" pieces in time for some early holiday shopping. Please give us a bookmark and check back frequently to see what we may have added.
