Ocean Amulet

"Ocean Amulet"
felted wool, cowrie shell, needle felted whale, naturally smoothed pebble with stamped image, crocheted wool strap, ceramic bead.

i made this amulet pouch to honor the ocean in it's masculine and feminine forms- the nurturing, feminine side is represented by a cowrie shell, the challenging, masculine side by the white whale. The stamped image is a combination of the elemental symbol of water and the symbol of Neptune.
the bead sewed on the outside of the pouch i bought at a craft show in Bethany. The artist that made the bead made it from a mold she created from a fossil shell.
