Mary Jane Dodd, was given a box of copper washers and I asked her to do her magic, which she did, beautifully.
“this design is based upon the egyptian shen ring… it is compromised of a circle for the cycles in life and a line across the bottom to represent the infinite… egyptians used lapis and turquoise in their adornment… lapis blue represented the heavens, water and the primeval flood… turquoise represented joy…
we are complete as represented by the circle… but need to branch out and stretch to grow… winding fibers lead to faceted spectrolite which imparts strength and supports transformation…
‘(wo)man is harder than iron,
stronger than stone
and more fragile than a rose.”
turkish proverb
‘fragile strength’earrings reiterate this point in numerous ways..etched metal
appears delicate yet sturdy..fibers made of silk..kyanite enhances tranquility
and calm while quartz ensures grounding…
work in progress…
‘ a guest never forgets the host
who has treated them kindly.’
thank you, Jeanette for this opportunity..and I have other goodies to play with..so there will be another post about that!
Thank you, Mary Jane!
I always LOVE what Mary Jane creates, and these peices are no exception. I can’t wait to see what other beautiful adornments she comes up with!
OK…spell check – I meant ‘pieces’!
Mary Jane’s earrings are always distinctive and truly wearable pieces of art. Love what she has done with the copper washers – and so many beautiful variations on the theme.
