I bought this book years and years ago in the Blue Mountains and my husband was cleaning his gallery "Is this years?" "YES!" Delighted to look at it again, it provided a boost of inspiration from Egyptian art to moon and star symbols to iconography of religions. At uni I studied semiotics and loved it so it awoke something within me and out it flowed on to these little wall hangings I had all made up and ready to paint : )

I've had a few requests for curlews lately so here is a combo of my love of the powerful moon symbol with the ever curious curlew.

Athena's owl. Guardians. What does the symbol of the owl conjure up for you?
Picture
Lotus Lily. Inspired by looking at the hieroglyphics of Egypt and that all the flowers are starting to bloom around the studio and billabong.

There's those curlews again. 

I am currently finishing these works off for this weekend. They will sell for about $175 each. I have a stash of beads I have been hoarding for about 20 years. It is now their time!
