Cupboard Owned (and Decorated) by German Art Nouveau and Symbolist Painter, Carl Strathmann (1866–1939). Dimensions: 179 cm x 98 cm x 51 cm. From the Munich City Museum, Applied Arts Collection, inventory number: M-71/4.

"… The simple spruce cabinet with fluted side frames and a straight cornice was originally decorated with no other decorative motifs. The artist attached a slatted frame with geometrically arranged, gilded decorative nails to the front of the cabinet and provided the right side with a vertical structure. He decorated the cornice, the upper corners and the right side with embossed brass sheets, with the brass heads and nails in a repeat pattern. The frame and the lower panels are painted with classical palmettes, garlands and wreaths. The main field shows a tree with golden fruits. The unfinished left side reveals that the cabinet was intended for a corner of the room."

Encore une commande qui date de l'année dernière, j'avoue avoir été un peu burnoutée et je n'ai pas fait une seule grosse illu de ce style de toute l'année, il faut que je remédie à ça, cela me manque! ^_^ En tout cas, cela va sans dire, les personnages de Saint Seiya sont de parfaits sujets pour un travail de dorure. C'est une commission de Pandore du chapitre Hadès ( et de The Lost Canvas ). Feuilles d'or sur gesso traditionnel et encres.

Prints of ‘From Six Feet Under’ drop this Thurs, Jun 30th at 12PM (PT) 👊🏼 

The inspiration for this painting was the cycles of life and death. Although it might sound quite dark and sombre, the concept was about how despite Death inevitably finding its way to all living things, life continues on — things grow anew, and eventually die again. So even once we are gone, life continues to bloom, even from six feet under the ground. I think there’s a sort of beauty in that, no matter how dark it sounds. #brbchasingdreams

Gilded Hawthorn Pendant (24k Yellow Gold or .999 Fine Silver)

These unique devotional pendants are made with real segments of Hawthorn wood, which have been lovingly hand-gilded using either 24k Yellow Gold Leaf or .999 Fine Silver Leaf. 

Every piece of wood used was hand-harvested from an old, propitiated Hawthorn Tree, before being slowly hearth-dried. Thereafter, each piece was gently smoothed with sandpaper and coated with a thin layer of ritually empowered wood varnish (composed from an array of potent arboreal resins, such as Dragon's Blood, Storax, and Black Fankincense), which was used to carefully adhere precious the metal leaf. Once fully dried, all excess metal was brushed away and the entire surface was meticulously burnished with agate stone in the traditional manner, before being lightly sealed with a final layer of protective lacquer. Finally, each piece was outfitted with Sterling Silver jewelry fittings and hallowed in a simple rite.

Between the rich and powerful history of folklore attributed to the Hawthorn—particularly where the Otherworld and its Denizens are concerned—and the preciousness of the metals used, I believe these will make lovely pendants for any who claim one; particularly those who follow the holy mysteries of the Whitethorn Tree.

Each piece is made to order—harvested especially for the client—and so each segment of thorn wood will be unique. However, each piece will bear two spines and measure approximately 2.5 inches / 6.5 centimeters in length. Additionally, each piece comes with a solid Sterling Silver box chain measuring approximately 18 inches / 46 centimeters. If you want pictures of your thorn segment for final approval before I begin working on it, simply reach out and I will be glad to provide them. 

If interested in acquiring one of these, you can reach out to me here on Tumblr, or you can purchase it directly from my shop, Wending Wares. Please allow up to 10 days following purchase for your order to be crafted and shipped.

[Care Instructions: Handle with care. Avoid scuffing the precious leaf or being pricked on the thorns, and avoid prolonged exposure to high heat or moisture.]

I made this for a dear friend's birthday. Now that I've given it to her, I can post it!

It was my first time using gold leaf in a project!

Also, it uses the long-s, so be mindful of that as you read it.
