Amulets of Adornment



There is a very intimate part of this body of work which is inspired by the concept of amulets and talismans. The idea that we protect ourselves by wearing objects of meaning and value has been a part of cultures since the beginning of time. In this case the Messenger is a symbol that protects the member of the family. It has guiding forces perhaps aides in fertility, health and/or well being. The following objects have been built from hand thrown hollow objects and have been glazed or covered in several layers of Precious Metal Clay and then fired several times. The amulets do not open however the energy inside of them may be filled with personal thoughts and requests.
