Moon shrine

This was actually a shrine made by a girl in the US and sent to me in a swap.
But when it arrived it turned out not to be exactly my cup of tea, but I really liked the basic idea, so I changed the over all look a bit.
I really hope she can forgive me and will not be too mad.
But I figured, when it's a shrine, which is such a personal and spiritual thing, then I really wanted it to reflect me and who I am.

I really liked the color of the shrine, so I decided to keep it, the mixed blues are really beautiful. The chalice ornament was to start with on the backside of the shrine and I decided to move it to the front, paint it silver (started out as yellow) and add an ornamental glass stone.
I also added an ornamental top frame to the front and added different stones.

I painted a full moon inside the shrine, and changed the half moons on the side from white to silver.
On the backside of the shrine was to start with, beside the wooden chalice, a white painted full moon, this I changed into a silver triple moon symbol.

Lastly I added small metal stars to the inside of the shrine and distressed the shrine with a silver ink pad.

Now I just need to figure out what to put in the shrine and where to place it..

Moon alchemy kit

Finally I got the last parts of the Moon Alchemy Kit done and sent out, it turned out really good and I am very proud of the result. I must admit that I had a hard time parting with it :)

The kit ended up containing a handdrawn poster poster of moon properties, a leather notebook filled with facts about the moon and alchemy, a hand drawn moon tarot card, a bag of linden flowers, several small moon related items, amulets, charms, seeds, ribbon etc and a lined hand sewn bag, where everything fitted into.

The leather book is one I bought, each page is aged with watercolors and contains several chapters with such subjects as moon symbols, celtic tree moons, recipes and more.

All of the small moon related items have matching handmade envelopes, sealed with wax.
The small items are:
1: Black ribbon
2: Blue ribbon
3: Moon ribbon
4: Handmade egyptian cat amulet
5: Handmade egyptian hare amulet
6: Moon charm
7: Poppy seeds
8: Glass moon bead
9: White crystal
10: Moon stone

I was a little afraid that the kit ended up being way to pagany, but my partner liked the kit alot.

Moon alchemy

One of the projects I am working on these days is an alchemy kit with a moon theme, it's alot of work and progress is kind of slow these days, due to a hand injury.
But I am so exited about the stuff I have allready made, that it's really hard for me not to take a bunch of picture and post them on Flickr.
But as I do not want to ruin the suprise for my partner (yup this is for another swap-bot swap) I am not going to.
But to get a little outlet, I am posting a picture, of the hand drawn tarot card I have made as part of the package, here.
All the other items in the kit is in a similar style as the tarot card and I am really looking forward to be able to share pictures of my work.
