Here is my entry for this catagory. As you can see it is a firepit which when not in use and covered, adds a decorative center peice to the garden. The cover also prevents anybody stumbling in the 'hole'. It consists of wood, paint and a slice of Agate. Bricks were used for the border, with part of a disgarded BBQ used to 'contain' the fire, finished off with white stone chippings.

CRANE BAG

This is all hand-knit by me and designed by me, with the cords being my own handspun.

Greetings,

I made this small wooden box of the Awen this summer late, using wood burning and acrylic paints, then varnishing with a natural varnish material. I wanted to not only show the Awen symbol but to also bring in the concepts of Earth, Sky and Sea.

Blessings, Katewk

Awen pendant & beads

This is my first attempt at making jewellery
the pendant is made from Hawthorne and I gouged the awens out with a pruning knife
and i also made the beads which are made from hazel, willow and elder
i hope you like because i have sanded the end of my finger tips off.
