Size: 17.5" Diameter In this vibrant mosaic, the allure of nature's geometry is beautifully represented through a captivating interpretation of the Fibonacci spiral, inspired by the exquisite center of a sunflower. The warm pinks envelop the composition, creating a harmonious blend of shades that convey a sense of warmth and vitality. At the heart of the piece, striking red garnet gemstones radiate deep hues, drawing the eye and symbolizing passion and energy. The light pink petals, delicately adorned with shimmering strawberry quartz, exude a gentle luminosity that evokes the soft blush of sunrise. The interplay of textures is further enhanced by the addition of round fire-torched copper rings, each thoughtfully placed at the vertices and topped with sparkling Czech crystals that catch the light with every glance. This mosaic transcends mere decoration; it is a celebration of color, texture, and the intricate patterns found in nature, capturing a moment where the beauty of the natural world meets artistic creativity. The overall effect is a delightful tapestry that sparkles and dances with light, inviting viewers to explore its depths and discover new details with every viewing.
Size: 24" x 21" (wired to hang portrait or landscape) Weight: 8 pounds Geometry of 24 Glass, Mirror, Lepidolite, Copper, Patina Copper, Austrian Crystals Mandalas and sacred geometry are powerful tools for meditation and spiritual practice. Mandalas, intricate geometric designs representing the universe, help focus the mind and induce inner peace. Sacred geometry explores mathematical principles underlying creation, fostering spiritual growth and understanding of interconnectedness. Both practices offer a transformative experience, cultivating harmony, connection to the divine, and a deeper awareness of the universe. This expanding mandala explores the geometry of 24 and emerged from the energy of me sending healing energy out to 2 friends undergoing life changing challenges. (Have fun exploring the numerology there!) Lepidolite is a powerful stone that balances the heart, third eye, and crown chakras, bringing the body, mind, and soul into harmony. The stone is known for its ability to clear blockages in these chakras, allowing for divine connection and inner wisdom to flow freely. Lepidolite is also associated with transition and emotional healing, making it a valuable tool for releasing stress and anxiety. Its calming energy has earned it the names "peace stone" and "transition stone," and its versatility allows it to be used in jewelry or as a pigment in paints. It is a type of mica and I happen to LOVE mica. I used to have a ginormous pet granite boulder as a child. I used to sit in front of it for hours picking mica off it being hyper focused on trying to split the layers. (I still love doing that). Patination is a unique and beautiful process producing an amazing green and brown film on top of a copper sheet. You can see where bits have flecked off allowing the copper underside to peek through. The cut shapes against the striking dreamy purple and white glass have created a spectacular split complementary palette that is mesmerizing. Trust me, you’ll want to touch it.
