Spotlight on ArtsyBeat Blog!

I love finding nice things in my inbox! Today, I was contacted by the editor of the ArtsyBeat blog to let me know my "Dreams of Peace in Tibet" necklace had been featured in an article about "Charming Handcrafted Ceramic Jewelry".

This wonderful blog features artists of all mediums and has a lot of helpful information for artists such as tips for promoting and marketing your work.

Celtic "Love" Ogham Ceramic Pendant

Celtic "Love" Ogham Ceramic Pendant

This "Love" Ogham has been glazed with a clear crackle glaze to give it an aged look. Each piece comes out of the kiln with it's own unique characteristics! The Ogham writing on this pendant has been glazed with a brown glaze, and the pendant hangs from a faux suede cord that can be tied to accommodate many necklines. This material is also great because it doesn't shed all over your clothes like real suede can. The bead is an old Tibetan yak bone bead that has been inlayed with turquoise and coral.

This ogham, and others, can be found at my 1000markets.com shop!

Spiral Hand Ceramic and Turquoise Necklace

Made with love on Grizzly Mountain!

I created this Spiral Hand pendant from earthenware clay. It has been glazed with a chili pepper red glaze. No two pieces ever come out of the kiln the same! The bead work consists of two old Tibetan yak bone beads that have been inlayed with turquoise and coral, mahogany obsidian, ostrich shell, carved bone beads, and turquoise. The clasp is copper and the overall length of this piece is 17". This piece can be found in my 1000markets.com shop.

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

My "Be the Mermaid" pendant has been individually hand carved by me. This 1 1/2" long pendant has been glazed with a gorgeous green glaze. No two pieces come out of the kiln the same! This pendant has been accented with an old Tibetan yak bone bead that has been inlayed with brass.

The cord is a faux suede material that can be tied to accommodate many necklines. This material is also great because it doesn't shed all over your clothes like suede can.

Celtic Courage Ceramic Ogham Pendant

Made with love on Grizzly Mountain!

All of my Celtic Ogham pendants are individually hand carved by me. There are about as many variations of interpretations of the Ogham symbols as there are interpreters. I hope you enjoy mine!

This "Courage" Ogham features an old Tibetan yak bone bead that has been inlayed with brass. This pendant has been glazed to have an aged appearance and hangs from a faux suede cord that can be tied to accommodate many necklines. This material is also great because it doesn't shed all over your clothes like suede can.


~~What are Celtic Oghams?~~

The Celtic Ogham alphabet dates from the fourth century. The alphabet is named for Ogmos, the Celtic god of knowledge and communication. The alphabet consists of twenty letters, each named for a different tree believed sacred to the Druids.

According to Wikipedia, the letter names are interpreted as names of trees or shrubs in manuscript tradition, both in Auraicept na n-Éces ('The Scholars' Primer') and In Lebor Ogaim ('The Ogam Tract'). They were first discussed in
modern times by Roderic O'Flaherty (1685), who took them at face value. The Auraicept itself is aware that not all names are known tree names, saying "Now all these are wood names such as are found in the Ogham Book of Woods, and are not derived from men", admitting that "some of these trees are not known today". The Auraicept gives a short phrase or kenning for each letter, known as a Bríatharogam, that traditionally accompanied each letter name, and a further
gloss explaining their meanings and identifying the tree or plant linked to each letter. Only five of the twenty primary letters have tree names that the Auraicept considers comprehensible without further glosses, namely beith "birch", fearn "alder", saille "willow" , duir "oak" and coll "hazel". All the other names have to be glossed or "translated" with a plant name.
