Sacred Celtic Salmon Ceramic Pendant

Sacred Celtic Salmon Ceramic Pendant

Made with love on Grizzly Mountain!  

I created the "Sacred Salmon" from earthenware clay. It has been glazed with a dark brown colored glaze. This pendant hangs from an 18" ball and chain necklace which you can easily remove if you have a favorite chain you prefer to use.  A gift box is included with this piece which is now available in my 1000markets.com shop.  

**The Sacred Salmon**  

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.

Handcrafted Walnut Tatting Shuttle with Inlayed Ceramic Cameo

Handcrafted Walnut Tatting Shuttle with Inlayed Ceramic Cameo

Dave, Grizzly Mountain Arts, handcrafted this 2 ¾ inch shuttle out of Walnut. I made this kiln fired ceramic cameo of the Three Muses (or Three Graces) with a pink glaze for him to inset into the shuttle. The burn etched motif is one of Dave's favorites because it looks so classical and also makes the shuttle look like a little musical instrument. This shuttle has a hand rubbed bees wax satin finish. This shuttle has been initialed and dated by Dave.  An additional photo may be viewed at the Ebay auction for this piece.

Pale Blue Ceramic Fleur-de-lis Adjustable Ring

Ceramic Fleur-de-lis Adjustable Ring

An antique button with the fleur-de-lis was used to make the mold that created this delicate looking ceramic ring. The ceramic portion has been glazed a pale blue color and was mounted on an adjustable ring base.  

The fleur-de-lis, translated from French as "lily flower", is a stylized design of either an iris or a lily that is now used purely decoratively as well as symbolically, or it may be at one and the same time political, dynastic, artistic, emblematic and symbolic, especially in heraldry. 

More photos of this ring may be seen in my Good Dirt Jewelry 1000markets.com shop.

I am also excited to be a member of two new markets at 1000markets.com!  The EarthBorn market features jewelry that reflects an organic, ancient and essential connection to the earth, and the newest, Old Town market, who's images hope to evoke those you may find familiar ... an imaginary rural western-like location anywhere, a down-to-earth small town general store atmosphere, possibly an affluent small-town popular ski-resort town, or the quaintness found in the Old Town heart of any large city.

Baroque Gold Art Nouveau Ceramic Pendant

Baroque Gold Art Nouveau Ceramic Pendant

I bought the most beautiful antique art nouveau era pewter button a while back, and with that button I made the mold for this piece. The nearly 1 inch diameter earthenware ceramic pendant has been glazed a gorgeous baroque gold color. This pendant hangs from a faux suede cord that you can easily remove should you have a favorite chain you prefer to use.  Please visit my Etsy shop to see more photos of this piece.

Druid's Egg Ceramic Pendant

Druid's Egg Ceramic Pendant

This "Druid's Egg" earthenware pendant is a collaborative effort between my husband, Grizzly Mountain Arts, and myself. I am so lucky to have a master carver with a studio right next to mine! Dave carved the original Druid's Egg, then made me a wonderful mold from that piece. This pendant, which has turquoise glazed spirals, hangs from a faux suede cord that can be tied to accommodate many necklines. You can easily remove the cord if you have a favorite chain you prefer to use.  This Druid's Egg is currently for sale in my Good Dirt Jewelry Etsy shop!
