This is inspired by some kind of Japanese shrine token, a gift from a dear friend. I used a scrap of cedar for the base and added a drop or cedar oil besides so it smells quite nice as well. Materials: cedar, sari scrap, rayon rope, cedar oil, thread.
This is my attempt, (and it will either kill me or cure me!) to step away from my commercial training in costume jewelry. To develop a way of creating that is more of a meditation, a practice. One necklace, every day for a year.
Cedar is one of my favorite scents--someone told me recently that it's considered a holy scent.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites too. There is something miraculous about it, I remember smelling my first cedar closet as a wee one, it was amazing.
