My Soul Sings For EgyptMy soul sings for the black sands,
The gushing Nile that breathes life into the red desert,
The presence of the fire which came from water-
That which is the heaven of the gods.

My soul sings of yearning,
Of secret whisperings and learning,
Of returning there in ecstasy,
And the pyramids reflecting positions in the galaxy.

It screams,
It sings
It speaks to me of the ancient kings.
It whispers seductively of the hidden things.

Beauty, mystery.
Heat, divinity in everything-
The gods walk the land with humans.
Heaven is not separate from the earth.

The Kraken Necklaceby ~nonanut

Artisan Crafts / Jewelry / Necklaces & Pendants

This was just plain fun, and completely unexpected for me since I like the Egyptian broadcollar style of necklace-making. I saw the frosted beads in a bead shop and they were awesome. Looked like sea glass. And then I realized my friend Blarmajin had given me a spare eye. I had just finished learning to make beaded cabochons, so I used it and the seed beads matched exactly. A plan was hatched. I completely goofed around, enjoying each step of the way. It turns out it's how I saw it in my head, but at each step I didn't think it'd work out for whatever reason, but it did.

This necklace represents the transition of the waves, to ship netting, to seaweed... and the Kraken beast. All glass seed beads (size 11s), with resin eye & metallic teal beads, silver-lined blues, aquas and sky blues. You can't see it in this picture, but it has a toggle clasp (silver) and pretty end-clasp beaded stitching resembling a lotus on the back. (All extra ends sticking out have been trimmed off since this pic.)

On sale for $35 w/ free shipping!!

Thank you so much!

It started with the eye and then the beads. When I got the idea to attach the two, somehow it wound up being this. Dunno, creative playing. ^^ Thank you so much!
