This piece is born on the peak of a new step forward for me - one I fought hard for, one I thought I would never see.
It's about feeling almost whole.
Realising that I am all I have been looking for during my life - my protector, the one who cares about me, the one who is proud of me, the one who sees me...
The realization of being on a new step of the path came after a challenging hard heavy week - one that I not only survived well, but that I faced much better than I hoped. I didn't even dream that I could be that strong.
.
The construction of the piece itself was a challenge. The bottom part of the body is a hollow shape built with two half spheres that I formed with hammer and flame.

This lady is a little goddess, in a way. She recalls the primitive in her shape and in the rugged texture.
.
This lady is a rattle. Inside her bottom part I put little metal spheres and crunched sapphire and tourmaline. Rattles are used, between other things, to clear energy.
This rattle here, it is to remind you that you don't need a rattle. Yep.
You know, often in our world of new age and contamination, we hide ourselves behind tools and excuses. Mind you, I think those tools are great. If you don't forget what they are...
Tools. They don't do the work for you. If you keep shielding your energy field with golden light but you allow every person on your life to walk on you like a doormat, or if you talk shit constantly to yourself...that shield of golden light won't do much.
A rattle can't clear the negative energy that you keep building and carrying around by allowing others to mentally abuse you, or by keeping yourself shut down and miserable.
.
So this rattle is to remind you that...well, you are the rattle. Hah. .
And you are the sun and the moon, the light and the darkness, you are it. You are the universe.
You are it all.
Mind blowing.

She holds a great burning disk of water cast copper above her head, and an Ethiopian opal on her tummy. Her necklace is 9k gold, her body is sterling and fine silver, hand fabricated (not cast).
She is unique and can't be replicated.
