Hand flowers and Ribbon Wrap Bracelets

Have been making some more handflowers or slave bracelets and ribbon wrap bracelets.   My son says my armless model ;0) looks a bit creepy, but not sure how else to show them, my nails after bending metal and being up the garden aren't lovely enough to be in the photo.  What do you think, creepy, good, bad?

Feeling a little batty;0)  There's a small bat on the extender chain as well.  Or maybe butterflies are more your thing, this one has a beaded ring and small butterfly charms.

The different hues in each of the hand dyed ribbons are gorgeous.  They wrap about 3 times around your wrist and have a sliding spiral bead to help with fastening.  The ends can either be tuck in or left loose to dangle. There are moons, fairies, goddess, dragonflies, pentacles, unicorns, dragons, and wild animals, tiger, lion, monkey, giraffe, elephant is one your animal guide?

This bottom one with the pentacle, turquoise crescent moon and goddess hasn't got a slider bead as although they all would make lovely anklets as well as bracelets I think this one would be an ideal one for an anklet.  Some of them would make great necklaces too, so three in one, can't be bad;0)  I'll be bringing some of these along to the Derbyshire Pagans Lammas Camp along with some more of my jewellery, including some feathered arm bands which I thought would look great worn with sleeveless tops in the hot weather.

Derbyshire Pagans Lammas Camp 2012

One week to go until our annual Lammas Camp, there looks to be lots of great workshops again this year, including Power Animals, Tree Walk & Lore, Meditations, Asartru, Shamanism, Bellydancing, Tai Chi, Pewter Casting, Bangladeshi Veggie Curry cooking and Shamanic drumming and dancing.  A sacred space is being created with Steve Niner which will be ongoing all weekend.  There is to be a relaxing/healing area where we hope some of the healers attending camp, as well as us, will be offering healing to those requesting it.

Thursday we will beat the bounds and lighting the Peace Fire with ashes from other Peace Fires.  Bring your drums and rattles as there will be drumming round the fire in the evenings, curfew is 10pm apart from Saturday when it is 11pm, let's not upset the villages:0)

(Thanks to Pat for photos x)

Saturday will be Ritual in the evening.  Sunday will be the Goblin Market.  There will also be stalls most of the weekend where you will be able to purchase unique handcrafted items as well as some of the more usual items.  Some of my items will be on sale as well;0) Morning Star Craft or facebook Morning Star Craft

Moot making, seasonal wreaths and green goodies

On Tuesday at the moot lots of seasonal greenery was gathered so we could make wreaths, or anything else that took our fancy to decorate our home with for Yule.  It was good fun and was getting us in the mood for the coming winter solstice.  All the wreaths, hearts and sprays looked fab.  This is my attempt a festive pentacle wreath, made with willow for the pentagram and holly, ivy and other foliage.

It's the Yule do on Friday with film (which we star in), food and fun:0)

Triple Moon & Hare Mirror

I'd got a circular mirror, it's about 20 cm diameter, and decided to give engraving a on a mirror a go, which is ok apart from the problem of either looking at yourself while your doing the engraving or trying to look at it from the side and getting a sort of double image going on. Had the same problem with photographing it (and I thought taking photos of glasses was bad enough), unless your right over the top to take the photo, (and then of course you get the camera and everything in there as well) you get a double image showing so the photo looks blurred, have to try to work something out to solve this. Other than that was quite pleased with my first attempt. As you can see it is Pentacle Triple Moon with a spiral hare running beneath jumping over a grassy mound. On one side ivy is trailing down and on the other tall grass reaching up.
