Tiger Lily

Albino Snake "Primo"
|
|
|
After I finished these, I realized
that they reminded me of Primo, my friend Basinah's
red-tail boa. This pair went home with the most lovely Melodia, but
you can have your own pair if you like. Medium to long strands only,
depending on the size of the shells. Numerology is nine.

Somewhat similar in design to Tiger Lily, Kalahari
is named for the colour combination (black, cream, and variegated browns)
which reminded me of the desert's beauty and life. Kalahari
is only available in the colours shown and in long length.

Bhodi
|
|
|


Bhodi is named
for the mala bead strands. A strand of mala beads is very much like
a rosary. It is used in meditation, to help keep count of our mantras.
There are 108 beads on a string and there are 108 shells on each strand.
The number 108 is significant on many levels. It is representative of
the nine planets, multiplied by the twelve astrological signs. In numerology,
the numbers in 108 add up to 9, which is the number of completeness
and wholeness.

Bhodi Light ~
Half the Cowries of Regular Bhodi!
The total still adds up to the number 108 by adding the shells in both
strands together. For those that want the meaning of Bhodi in a shorter
length. Available in medium length only.

Mardi |
|
|

Named for the fantastic Mardi Love, who inspired me
to start creating my designs. I met Mardi at Tribal Fusion Faire in
San Luis Obisbo in December 2005 and told her I had named a design after
her. She couldn't have been more gracious, and I couldn't have been
more thrilled to finally meet her in person.
Mardi is available in long length only.

Summer Corn was
designed specifically for the lovely Politti, who very graciously told
me that "there must be peacock feathers" and then let me run
with her favourite number and colour choices.
When I think of Politti, I think
of the Summer Harvest with Blessings Ceremonies and I imagined Indian
corn in all of it's glorious colours. Those images are how these strands
were born. Thank you Politti, for letting me create something for you!
