Nature’s beauty! I am really enjoying using gemstones for healing and well being with my leaf spirits lately, and although this could be worn as a pendant, I have transformed this lovely imprint of a Burr Oak, also called Mossycup Oak, as an ornament. Fashion forward fairies or renn folk could do double duty and use this as a focal pendant worthy of a goddess or fairy queen.

Sculpted using a combination of translucent Kato and pearl clay, I’ve added a layer of antiquing to bring out the detail in the veins and to show depth as well.

The hanger is multiple copper spirals accented with genuine Tiger’s eye and a fire polished czech bead. A piece of lovely hand dyed raw silk ribbon finished with quartz leaves adds a lovely finishing touch!

Tiger’s Eye is a stone of protection that is also very grounding. It enhances integrity, willpower, practicality and correct use of power. It is a stone that enhances good luck, and brings prosperity, often in the form of money.Spirals represent the cycles of life and interconnectedness of all things.

So dear friends, I’ve been away and obviously not blogging like I should. Here is a commissioned piece I’ve just finished of a very large Norwalk Maple leaf spirit. The leaf measures 6″ x 7″ and is done in the warm, subtle colors of Autumn. Enjoy!

I finally was able to list some new leaf ornaments in my Etsy shop today. For the past year I’ve tried to do my art full time and although I’ve definitely made forward progress, I can’t keep up with the economy, so off I’ve been to job hunt.
Tedious, boring…necessary.

Anywho, here are three new pieces I’ve been able to complete. I also have a 6″ full sculpt of a tree nymph I am working on as a companion to my leaf ornaments. They have asked for a “gopher”, and, as the leaves are my muses who am I to say no?

The first two are from my Sugar maple tree and the third is a gorgeous Silver maple leaf from my daughters yard. As a final step I’ve also smudged all the pieces to keep the yucky energy from job hunting away. :)

All three pieces are available in my Etsy shop: http://elysianfields.etsy.com/
