Amulets by Merlin's Blog

Gazing at the fire,
watching the sparks and tongues of flame
dance in the inferno of the hearth or bonfire,
I find myself seeing images of beings dancing in the flames.

Inspired by these images
I created the Pixie Flame Chain,
tiny links in the form of the pixies
offered now as charms or amulets:
one of the is The Fire Pixie Amulet.

An inch an inch and a half long (about 4 cm)
she is caught in sterling silver.
Her hair develops the loop behind her head as she turns to face you;
made of flame, trailing down past where her feet would be
(if she was human)
and shape a loop beneath.
Her shape suggests a human form,
but she is a flame creature
and looks like she would morph into something different
at any second.

For the amulet I have placed a jump ring,
left the bottom link intact.
Some have used it to suspend other things off of their pixie:
beads and other keep-sakes.
Others have worked it in as a component to their own creations.

I make a variety of pixies which may be seen in my website,
each found in the Flame Pixie Chain
(or bracelet) or to accent the Fire Chain;
both are made of separately sculpted links of silver in the form of fire.
These are made as they are ordered and may be created to your specification.

More about hand-made chain may be found in the chain section of my web site.
