Goddess Tree of Life - Now on Artfire - Adopt her! Quick!

A new Tree of Life with a lovely Raku porcelain goddess, available in my ArtFire store. (click here)
She has lovely Chakra rainbow gemstones for the leaves.



Ah, the Tree of Life, complete with Goddess! Metaphor, mystical, symbolic - found in every ancient culture in one form or another. The roots reaching deep into the earth, into the underworld, the branches reaching high above, into the heavens...

Here we have pure raw copper wire artfully twisted and shaped with great care. Seven gemstones represent the chakra or rainbow - garnet, peach aventurine, citrine, green aventurine, turquoise, iolite and amethyst.

This wonderful little Raku Goddess jumped into the pile of gemstones and tied herself to the tree with a rope of copper wire.

She's just shy of 1 inch tall all by her lonesome, and the whole pendant is a whopping 3 inches tall, from tip of the woven Toodles bale to the bottom of the tangled roots, and 2 1/4 inch wide.

This bold pendant attracts attention and admiration, hanging from a 20 inch dark brown butter soft leather cord with handmade clasp.
The bail is my favorite Toodles Weave hook, providing easy transfer to other types of neck-wear.

I have oxidized this copper pendant for easy care. Just a quick buff with a soft cloth brings multitudes of ooooo and ahhhhh compliments.

The Tree of Life symbolizes shelter, immortality, beauty, family, mankind, wisdom, protection, strength, bounty, redemption, regeneration.
