Mandala Constellation Necklace, and Happy New Year! ;)

My new necklace of handmade glass cabochons set in bronze settings and strung on a bronze chain.
available in my etsy HERE

It is a piece of jewelry with meaning. The bead pattern represents a mandala. 

What is a mandala?
Mandala (Sanskrit: मण्डल Maṇḍala, 'circle') is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the Universe. It represents wholeness, and can be seen as a model for the organizational structure of life itself--a cosmic diagram that reminds us of our relation to the infinite, the world that extends both beyond and within our bodies and minds.

Describing both material and non-material realities, the mandala appears in all aspects of life: the celestial circles we call earth, sun, and moon, as well as conceptual circles of friends, family, and community.

In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be employed for focusing attention of aspirants and adepts, as a spiritual teaching tool, for establishing a sacred space, and as an aid to meditation and trance induction. (Source: Wikipedia)



So, this is my last post this year, I suppose. And I would like to thank everyone who joined my blog this year and wish you all a Happy New Year! Let it be brighter and happier than the previous one!

Ouroboros

The Ourobros Mandala is a glass clock with my handmade painted mandala.
Available in MY ETSY





Mandalas are great harmonizers for any space. This mandala features Ouroboros, the ancient symbol of snake eating its tail.

The ouroboros often symbolizes self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return, and other things such as the phoenix which operate in cycles that begin anew as soon as they end. It can also represent the idea of primordial unity related to something existing in or persisting from the beginning with such force or qualities it cannot be extinguished. (Source: Wikipedia).

The swirls in the serpent body mark the hours.

Workshop in our Selina Lampwork Studio

These wonderful necklaces were made by beautiful ladies torching for the FIRST time in our Selina lampwork studio.

Under our guidance the girls made their first glass beads and then assembled them in unique necklaces. This workshop was organized to celebrate the coming wedding of one of the girls. Now they have wonderful things to remember by this event!
