Product Description
Someone suggested Joyous Goddess for this bright piece. These handmade lampwork goddess focal beads from Janice at Bon Echo are based on the Venus of Willendorf. Her ample breasts and belly suggest a symbol of fertility or plenty. The facelessness of the figurine gives it an air of anonymity and mystery. She is ample in every way - realistic curves - not the perfect figure from the modern media.
Wear her in joy.
Wear her in reverence to the Mother and the gifts of Fire and Dance.
And Blessed Be.
Your version of this wondrous Earth Mother was created with flame, and love, from imported
Italian Morette/Effetre and or Lauscha Glass.(and, maybe Borosilicate )
A 17 1/4 inch necklace featuring a handmade goddess focal bead of red glass with lava like black and white swirls and matching drop earrings on shepherd hooks
Inspiration/Story Behind This Product
wee Willendorf Goddess history lesson.
Found in 1908 in an Aurignacian Loess deposit
near the town of Willendorf in Austria by an
archaeologist named Joseph Szombathy,
the Venus of Willendorf now resides in the
Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna.
Dated at approximately 30,000 B.C., the statue
is carved from Oolitic Limestone,and was colored with Red Ochre.
Her diminutive size, and ample breasts and belly
suggest that she may have been a symbol of
fertility or plenty, although thoughts differ
on this matter,
The facelessness of the figurine gives it an
air of anonymity and mystery.
The figurines hair is braided in seven
concentric circles...
Seven in latter times being regarded as a Magic number used to bring about good luck.
Materials Used
goddess focal bead from bon echo, clear red seed beads, clear red and opaque black teardrop beads, lampwork glass beads, matte gold, crystal clear seed beads, golden safety clasp, 20lb test nylon filament, goldlined seed beads, golden hook style earwire
