Crescent Moon Woman Mask - Lavender Mist - Beauty, Gentle Strength
Details
Moon Woman! A beautiful wall plaque for your home or as a loving addition to your altar. Her face hints of magical paradigm shifts that will make 2015 your year of gentle yet powerful courage and new beginnings. Since the piece is weatherproof, she's equally at home on a flowery garden fence or as an entry greeting to welcome your guests.
First I pressed clay into the plaster mold I made from my own original design, sculpted many years ago during the first exciting women's movements. Next I carefully loosen and remove the clay face from the mold and check all the sculptural details and clean off any crumbs from undercuts. At this point I can slightly alter her expression and allow her to dry slowly.
After the bisque firing, I think about which oxides and glazes will complete the uniqueness of this piece. Another glaze firing at a higher temperature and then a sturdy hidden galvanized wire is added for easy hanging. Italian silver buttons at the sides have intricate detailing and the lavender glaze tones over white clay are delicate and smooth, with oxide shadows showing through the layers.
Enjoy creating your sacred space!

Policies
Upon receipt of payment I'll ship USPS Priority on items 1# and up. Tracking and insurance will already be included. I'll contact you with your tracking number when your package is mailed so you will know when to expect it.
I pack carefully (35 years experience) and will use as much recycled material as possible. I'll send your order First Class, flat rate priority or regular priority. Heavy oversize items occasionally should go parcel. You should let me check as it can sometimes run $35 or more for these very heavy/oversize boxes to go as priority! But if it fits in a large flat rate, then of course it will be reasonable. $19 usually.
I'll refund your Paypal account whenever possible if your zone is closer to me than the one I use to estimate my shipping cost in the item listing. Flyers or descriptive stories I've written that pertain to your item will be included.
NOTE TO OVERSEAS BUYERS: Let me know if you would like me to look up the rates, rules and so on for international shipping. Generally speaking on the heavier packages (over 4lbs) it can get pretty expensive. I've shipped to the UK, Canada, Australia, Hawaii and Brazil so far.
Refunds and Exchanges:
Items can be returned or exchanged within 7 days at the buyer's expense. I'll refund the item's price but not the cost of shipping. Returned goods must be packed carefully and arrive in original condition. If there is a loss or damage due to shipping contact me and the USPS right away so you can file a claim at your end. (Save the packaging for them to inspect.) I've had very good luck during the 35 or so years of shipping I've done but hey, Meteors happen...
*Now about custom orders*
I work by inspiration and with the materials I have at hand, I'll welcome your input or wish-list and give you a heads-up if something is style, color or symbol-wise like something you've mentioned. Also, I always have many items bisqued, waiting to be fired but the glaze colors can still be chosen. So don't be shy about asking me a question or making a suggestion regarding what's possible to make. No obligation to buy :)
*Oh yes and last but not least*

Thank you so much, Teri! They are even more wonderful than the photos conveyed! I love them!! And thank you for the additional Goddess...she is beautiful!! Best wishes to you!
Absolutely Gorgeous!
I love the look, the glazing and pattern. My new tillandsia, was loving provided by Teri. They both arrived quickly and super safe to their new home on the east coast. I adorn the tie on holder instead of glue. I have had other store bought holder that over glued the air plant and that was not good to them.
Thank you again!
Just Perfect!! Fast Shipping! Great Deal! Thanks so much!!
