| Classic half-hitch knots |
I found the agate, used in this piece, at my favorite little sanctuary in San Francisco. This crystal reminds me of the beautiful spirals within redwood tree trunks, that mark the trees' ancient wisdom. Lately, I have been longing to visit the forest and take in its wonder and beauty, so I crafted this piece with love and honor for Mother Earth. I used the classic half-hitch knot to create the intertwining branches. There is also a Hamsa charm at the base of the piece. The Hamsa is a palm-shaped amulet represented across Jewish and Arabic cultures. The Hamsa is believed to protect against evil. A close friend brought me the charm, after a recent trip she took to her homeland of Israel.
