Born Again Half Belt

Twin bird skulls (my Wright's Beach skull)

frame a juicy, pomegranate carnelian cabochon

set in fine silver and copper

stitched in to warm toffee colored leather

and soft as a silk saffron lamb suede.

"Born Again"

reads the stamped inscription inside.

That phrase can mean anything from

finding new life in religion

to discovering untapped reserves of strength within

recovering from trauma

relinquishing attempts at control

or just simply rising again with the morning sun,

grateful and exuberant.

There is something autumnal about the coloration

but season-less is the subject matter:

death and rebirth are a favorite subject in my studio,

a necessity in the growth of a soul

and the history of earth.

This half-belt measures 28.5 inches ring end to ring end

and looks fabulous strung with a scarf:

Voila!!

Rich in tender touches,

this is an heirloom piece

for a woman who knows the joy of

rising

from slumbers both physical and spiritual.
