As the heat of summer wanes
and we huddle around our fires to keep warm through the cold of autumn,
we often watch the flames flicker and pop,
perhaps unconsciously deciphering the images in the flames.
Some of us see dragons curling through the logs…
More often than not,
I have seen the presence of the fire elementals:
the flame Sprites dancing in the fire place or the fire circles.
Composed of fire herself:
she catches tiny sparks
and releases them up into the pops and sizzles
of the surrounding flames
I have attempted to capture the heart of the Flame Sprite’s dance
in the flames and freeze her in sterling silver.
The Flame Sprite holds a flame in one hand
and releases it in the other.
I have placed her on a flame chain:
a hand fabricated chain composed of flame shapes
long enough to fit an 18 inch length.
For those that want an additional flare,
I can create a custom setting
and extend the motif of the fire:
holding a flame stone.
I have also created Flame earrings,
bracelet or the Flame Chain
that may be worn sans the sprite.
Fire is consuming,
transforming and passionate.
This is a necklace designed for the fiery personality,
the warm hearted, and dancers of the fire circle.
A lovely piece. The connected stone holder is beautiful!
This is an awesome piece of jewelry, Merlin! The flow of the lines show some of your best artistry and the Flame Sprite seems more like flame herself than a character. I am amazed at how you have sculpted the silver into this amazing form and I think the flame chain is a wonderful addition to the Flame Sprite. Great work!!
