Paganism, Shamanism, Rock n Roll

Been playing some more with the same stuff I made the feather necklace from and paying homage to Hasfest our small festival that pretty much started off the madness that is Lammas Camp These bracelets have Paganism, Shamanism, Rock n Roll on them which was the motto of Hasfest and which we will be giving a nod to at this years Lammas Camp by playing psy trance dance and rock in the marquee Friday night and dancing ourselves silly, of course if your not into that it’s also nice to sit by the camp fire and watch the stars :0)

Also made a few other bracelets in the same sort of style while I was on the roll including a purple feather one, which could have been dropped by a passing unicorn if unicorns were feathered, a Pegasus unicorn crossover ;0)

Beaded Feather Necklace

Love playing with new stuff and seeing what it does.  Painted, beaded, cut this fabric into a bracelet and a feather necklace so far.  It's very strong, cant tear it with your fingers but feather fringes can be cut easily and holds it shape to give a bit of dimension, lovely :0)
The finished necklace can be found here

Handfasting Ceremony

Enjoyed watching a lovely couple getting handfasted at the weekend.  It was at their Willow farm and we were all invited to camp if we wanted so that the celebrations could go on into the night, which was just as well really as there was lots of different homemade wines and other goodies to sample afterwards.  The ceremony took place on the grass surrounded by trees and they were handfasted in front of a flower bower with a golden ribbon, very pretty :0)  We had decided to get them something a gift, a handmade wooden crate by Elphius Flux, beer to put in the crate and a hand made pentacle by me.  The pentacle was made of Willow, not as thought they haven't got plenty of that I know ;0), but it also had on it a bear as one of the couple goes by Bear and on the other point a pixie for the other person.  I placed a golden amber coloured heart in the centre balanced by the sun and moon on each side and the goddess above.  Underneath were golden ribbons and green leaves, and a dragon charm as their place is called Dragons Wood.  I hadn't know they had chosen gold as their handfast colour just lucky chance.  After the ceremony followed music, dancing, drumming, eating and drinking as well as catching up with people not seen for a while.
