T he Olive Tree has both a sentimental and religious significance. According to the Bible, it is believed that Jesus prayed underneath an Olive Tree in the Garden of Gethsemane after the Last Supper. This sacred tree is still in existence today. The Bible repeatedly refers to the Olive Tree as a symbol of peace, fertility, and prosperity. In the story of Noah's Ark, a branch from an Olive Tree was brought back to the Ark by Noah's Dove symbolizing peace. Also, on Palm Sunday, pilgrims carry Olive Wood branches commemorating the Lord's entry into Jerusalem. Thus, the Olive Tree became a dominant symbol of the Holy Land. From the Olive trees, you get this great striated wood. The rich color and interesting veins are characteristic of the beautiful Bethlehem Olive Wood. The natural swirl and contrast of the Olive Wood grain will draw your mind. After the olive tree is trimmed her branches are ke...

MANNEQUIN - Display Options

Image
I make the mannequins to display jewelry. Being a jewelry designer, I know what is needed to be a good mannequin. 1. sturdy 2. light 3. mobile 4. pretty   I have a tutorial on how to make your own DIY - Mannequin and there are several other tutorials all over the internet But if you want one already made, you can purchase one of my WO-mannequin I've sold several on Etsy   Since I started making these mannequins a few years ago, I've added a couple of different shaped ones.   Here I want to show how my favorite necklace (I made it too) looks on each WO-mannequin. Chinese Tibetan Agate Necklace Bust     mini-Torso Torso    Head n' Torso   What I like about the headless MANNEQUINs is I don't have to continuously open and close the clasp on the necklaces. Just slip over the neck and it lays perfectly.       Handmade Jewelry & Mannequins 

MY (new) PEACE of jewelry

It's been a while since I made something. I am posing with the MY (new) PEACE of jewelry , which I made last week. Love it! I can't get away from bib style necklaces. For some reason, I like the number 3, so most of necklaces are three strands. This one is no different. Except! All three strands are not the same. Only 2 strands are the same. Beads in the back are round white metal beads from Ethiopia the two same strands are Brown striated B atik bone oval beads . Strand in the middle is a thick brass Rolo link chain. What is BATIK Bone? Batik Bone is one of several natural materials that have been available in Africa. Historically, bone beads may be made from any number of bone sources  including ivory from different kinds of animal tusks or antlers. Other natural materials similar to bone used to make beads include horn, ostrich eggshells, marine and freshwater seashells such as clams, and also coral. Bone is unique amon...

MY (new) PEACE of jewelry

Really what I did was re-do an "old" necklace that I had originally made. It needed to be re-strung, and in the process I added a few more beads here and there to make it even more precious. I love it more! It's really colorful, yet understated as far as not being BRIGHT colorful, but it is Earthy colorful. Black Rainbow Necklace 7-strand, black opaque seed beads and multi-color, multi-shaped beads Necklace length - 30" Weight - 4.9oz Made some drop earrings too. Made a few of the earrings; 2 pairs in blue and black. The necklace does not really need a pair of earrings, but it's nice to have simple pair to wear with it.
