Someone To Watch Over Me

Resources: snap ring, copper exhaust pipe found in a farmer's dump, copier guts, hematite bead, agate.

I received a request from my 'sisters' at Safe Haven of Pike County, to design an amulet gift for Diane who was leaving our PCAR (Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape) / RYOT(Rallying Youth Organizers Together) group. Diane was described to me as a loving, generous, adventurous, free spirited woman. Agate is known as the stone of transformation- a powerful metaphysical stone that fosters love, abundance, protection, and opens one to innate creative talents. Teal is the symbolic color adopted nationwide by sexual assault awareness organizations. The shape of the metal copier component reminds me of a woman of action, energy streaming, as she flies towards new challenges. Good luck Diane!
