A busy year

It has been so busy this year I have neglected my blog completely. I have been experimenting quite alot and I think my biggest success of the last six months were my sculpted staffs, so here are some pics.

2014, a year for the Goddesses

I've been very busy since Yule. i have found increasingly more requests for goddess specific items which i love creating because I get to learn about the many goddesses out there but it also reinforces my own path which has been inspired by the beauty of the goddess and many facets of her personality which manifest differently in cultures across the globe. here are some of the goddess pieces I have made recently...

Brigid the Bright One Goddess Necklace crafted from White Birch with copal amber, white frosted agate, peridot, carnelian and crystal.

Konohanasakuya-hime, the Japanese Cherry Blossom Goddess Necklace crafted on cherry with rose quartz, white jade, ruby and white frosted agate.

The Morrigan Talisman. This talisman is crafted from Blackthorn which Morrigan on one side and the Raven on the other.

Corra, Scottish Goddess of Prophecy Talisman which is crafted from Hazel. One one side shows Corra and the crystal ball, on the other is the crane which Corra is said to shapeshift into.

Goddess Rhiannon Ritual Necklace, fully jeweled in pinks, reds and cream and finished with a rose quartz hummingbird and an apple mini wand pendant.

Arianrhod of the Silver Wheel Goddess Necklace crafted from hazel with vintage crystal, white jade, clear quartz, crystal and opalite.

December Already ....

Well this year has gone really quick. I am extremely busy with commissions in the run up to Yule. However, here are some pieces i have created recently, both commissions and whims :)

Avalon Swan Athame created from Apple and inset with Rose Quartz. 

Yule Ritual Cord with oak mini wand, customers own symbol of the wolf and stag on bone charm. The cord is strung through with emerald, ruby, vintage wood, tree agate beads, etc

Yule themed athame. On one side is the wren, bird of the Holly King, on the other is the robin, bird of the oak King. inset with breccicated jasper and holly and oak leaf sculpt.

Elen of the ways Ritual Necklace, a new range from MoonsCrafts. This is one piece and the pendant simply loops through to create a choker style necklace.

A very busy Autumn!

It has been a while since I posted because it has been so busy here at MoonsCrafts. A very long line of commissions has seen me working flat out to get them finished and still they keep coming. The Goddess necklaces have been particularly popular along with my staffs and a new line of Energy cords which are different from the Ritual Cords in that they are designed to evoke a feeling or invoke an energy rather than a magical piece for specific types of spellworking which the the ritual cords are. Here are some of what I consider to be my better pieces. I am definitely moving towards more goddess centred pieces as i feel this is where my own personal path and understanding lies. All these have been crafted in the past 3 months and are all rehomed :)

It's been really busy for me lately, with events and commissions and keeping the online shops ticking over. I have made some rather nice staffs lately, most of which have new homes. Here are some pics of them )0(

Elder Mother Staff at 6 foot tall. This one had labradorite and white catseye crystal spheres and a removal cord and crow fetish. Rehomed at Lammas camp.

Unfortunately I can't make staffs for overseas customers as the shipping is extortionate.
