Lalaith
Earrings inspired by a language created by J.R.R. Tolkien as grey elves' language. In this language "Lalaith" means laughter and I wanted to create sth sunny, summer and dynamic, so the word "Lalaith" seemed to be ideal :). Earrings are made by me from a scratch without using any ready molds and so on. It's fine and sterling silver with yellow sapphires.

I made this alter from a slice of oak given to me by a tree surgeon. I stands on 3 short legs and looks lovely with the candles lit in a dark room the whole surface seems to float off the floor as the candles flicker. The altar tries to embody elements of the seasons important to me in the turning wheel of the year. The design is burnt onto the surface using a pyrography iron

Here's a tealight holder I made as a gift for someone.
