22.01.2022 The Bog Oak Awen Pendant This is the latest creation from the Crystal Grove and I am so happy that it turned out as well as I imagined. As a member of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids the Awen symbol has a special significance to me. Awen loosely translated from Welsh means "flowing spirit" or "flowing inspiration". Awen is the inspiration found by creative artists. Awen is symbolised by 3 rays of light emanating from 3 points. These points can represent the triple aspec...t of deity, and also the points that the sun rises on the equinoxes and solstices. The center of the pendant is a piece of Bog Oak. This is Oak that has been buried and preserved in a peat bog in Ireland for over 3000 years. During that time the wood has been preserved from decay by the acidic conditions of the bog and it hardens and turns a very dark colour from the tannins in the water. This is the earlier stages of fossilisation. Great care has been taken in surrounding the Bog Oak with a thick Sterling Silver band and an Awen symbol is carefully inlayed into the precious wood. All of this work is carried out by hand with great care and a sense of peace. The pendant is 40mm diameter and 7mm thick. Sterling Silver is used in the Bog Oak Awen Pendant to bring love, peace, protection, and psychic connections to the wearer. The Awen symbol itself will allow the wearer to develop their creativity. The Oak itself, having lived back in the time of early Druids will carry a deep connection to the past. The price is $160 plus postage. Similar pendants can be commissioned with any symbol you like. PM me for more details on price and how long it will take to make one.

20.01.2022 Recently I was extremely honoured to be commissioned by The Melbourne Grove to make two pendants for a beautiful couple visiting from the UK. They were a challenge to make but I am quite pleased with the result. They are Rainbow Tree Pendants in Sterling Silver with 7 stones in each. Garnet, Carnelian, Citrine, Malachite, Turquoise, Lapiz Lazuli and Amethyst. I won't make more of these as I wish them to remain unique, but I wanted to show these off and what is possible. :)...

14.01.2022 My latest creation is an Awen Door Harp made from some beautiful Australian Red Cedar. It measures 19.5cm diameter x 4cm thick. The tree was not cut for timber, it was recovered after it was washed off a river bank in Nth NSW during a flood. I am lucky enough to have a piece to work with. The door harp originated in Scandinavia and has been around for about 700 years. It was inspired by the Chinese Feng Shui tradition of hanging bells or chimes around a door to keep bad energ...y out. The door harp is said to signify welcome, good luck, health and prosperity to those who pass through the door. And of course the Awen symbol brings inspiration into us. This door harps has a very sweet tone as you can hear in the video on Youtube. https://youtu.be/8y_UvVV3ztY This door harp is for sale for $95 + postage. Message me if you are interested.
