"Ix Chel" Mayan Divine Mother Goddess Guide Sculpture

I have completed another "guide" sculpture. This is Ix Chel, or Ixchel.  She is a Mayan goddess, revered as Divine Mother and she is also known as the moon goddess.  Ix Chel started showing up in my meditations a few months ago.  She has been contributing to my healing sessions regularly and I decided to sculpt her the way I see her with blue skin and in the "mother" aspect, rather than the maiden or crone.  She is dynamic, loving, beautiful, and always moving.  She is wise, powerful and an amazing healer.  I am blessed to know her energy.

About Ixchel

Ixchel is the ancient Maya goddess of fertility & healing. Ix means goddess of the feminine. Chel means rainbow or light. Ix Chel is known as Goddess of the Rainbow and Lady of Sacred Light. She is associated with bodies of water, lakes, streams, rivers and creeks.  As the Maya moon goddess, sometimes called "Lady Rainbow", she wears a serpent on her head . The snake is associated with  Kundalini energy, medicine, healing powers and intuitive forces. She is the goddess of fertility, motherhood , the moon and menstrual cycle. She is mother of all.  As the Crone she is in charge of medicinal plants, healing and the moon phases. She carries spiritual knowledge and blesses the earth with rain - in a bad mood she sends floods and hurricanes.   Thanks for visiting my blog! Blessings, Waxéla

Kama, Fire Dragon Goddess

Guide Sculpture "KAMA"

I want to share my latest sculpture.  Her name is "Kama" and she is a Fire Dragon Goddess who comes around to stir things up and get things moving.
I first saw her while doing intuitive work with a friend and client, and Kama came through as such a strong guide for my friend that I could not stop thinking about her.  She is so dynamic, sometimes I see her riding a dragon or even morphing into a fire-breathing dragon.Kama is a dancer, a fire-spirit, and mover of energy.

 Kama is a OOAK (one of a kind) art doll mixed media sculpture.  Her head, bust, arms and hands are made of polymer clay.

 Her gown is made of various fabrics including vintage silk, a printed Thai cotton, velvet, and tulle.  I used wire and fabric starch to create the spiraling, undulating textures of her firey gown.  

 Her black hair is made of lambs wool, and I used colored feathers in her head dress.

 Her wings have a 14" wing span and they are made of Fantasy Film.  They are dynamically iridescent and look different colors in different types of light.

Kama was so much fun to create, I am looking forward to creating a series of goddesses and guides this year.

Thanks so much for visiting!

Goddess Tree Beaded Tapestry Giveaway!

I promised a giveaway to my followers, and this is it!

It is a beaded tapestry, which I made entirely from upcycled furniture sample pieces. The tapestry has a Nile Goddess in a tree, and depicts two of my favorite things...the Nile River Goddess and trees.  I used seed and bugle beads to enhance the goddess and leaves.

It has a sleeve at the back to run a small dowel through so it can hang on your wall.

This giveaway is open to all of my followers.  All you have to do is be a follower of my blog.  I will choose a winner randomly on March 18th.  You must become a follower by Wednesday, March 17th at 11:59pm to be included in the giveaway.  

Good Luck!

Calavera Earrings Dia De Los Muertos Sugar Skulls

I Love La Dia de los Muertos, so I had my first rubber stamp produced from my own ink drawing of this skull, and I couldn't wait to get started using it!

Here I have some wonderful skull earrings with sterling silver earwires and vintage black faceted glass beads. The skulls are polymer clay which I stamped, cut, baked, painted, buffed, and glazed for your enjoyment.

The backs are painted with shiny enamel black acrylic paint.They hang 2.75" long1.5" wide.

They are very light weight and will not hurt your ears!

Blog Carnival

I just joined the Etsy Blogger Street Team, and each month they have a "Blog Carnival" in which the members blog about a specific topic. This month the carnival topic asks "What is your favorite color and show it in your work".


No problem! My favorite color is purple! I have had an ongoing love affair with purple for ages, and I just can't get enough. My entry is painted purple, I wear purple clothes, I have purple curtains...


So here are some of my special purple artistic creations.

This is my latest, "Goddess of Compassion" Doll. She is wearing a lavender dress. Lavender is one of my favorite shades of purple (actually it's a tint, I heard all you art school teachers correcting me). She is in my SpiritMama etsy shop.

And here is a little tooth fairy (or doll house) pot with purple and lots of sparkle:

It is available in my SpiritMama etsy shop.
