Goddess Flower Vase

A while ago I was asked if I had any vases with symbols of the Goddess or Pentacles on which I hadn't, but not wishing to disappoint, I engraved some and gave the person who had asked the choice of which she would like.  She only wanted a small vase so that she could put seasonal foliage, flowers or herbs in on her altar, leaving the cauldron free for other use.  Thinking that this was a lovely idea I have this one ready to go, a Goddess figure with an arm full of flowers and a spiral on her stomach (the second spiral you can see in the photo is actually on the bottom of the vase, my mark).  The vase is approx 5 inches high, maybe ideal for Imbolc do you think?

Witchy Things Bracelet or What a Witch might Wear

I've been busy making some bracelets and now all ready to be sold (hint, hint ;0)) This one would be good for Halloween/Samhain as it has items on it that the well dressed witch might wear or use. There is a pointy hat (of course), a boot, a besom, a leaf and a cauldron. The bracelet has different shades of green glass beads on it and is finished with a leafy pentacle toggle to fasten.

Hand Engraved Chalices

These are some hand engraved chalices I've just finished. They are all individually hand done and as they are engraved the design doesn't wear off.

There is a willow and ivy pentacle one at the top, people seem to like this design, and then a holly and oak pentacle one at the bottom. Oak and Holly for the turning of the season winter to summer and back again.

There is also a daintier one with flowers, leaves and vine circle surrounding the pentacle with a butterfly fluttering by.

In the middle photos is a goddess, with a spiral stomach, stood in front of a star with a crescent moon below surrounded by a circle of swirls.

The main engraved shape on the remaining chalice is the Vesica piscis, the interlocking circles, which can be found on the cover of the Chalice Well in Glastonbury. It is an ancient yonic symbol that represents the female genitals; as the energy of water is feminine and the chalice also represents the feminine this is quite apt. Also engraved is a spiral in the centre for spirit, trailing ivy above and ferns below.
