Beginner Goddess Bracelet-Oshun

This is another bracelet I made to go along with my Oshun necklace. It took a couple of days and losing beads twice to get it done. In the end, it turns out to be way to big for my arm. I'm still proud of it though.

Beginner Goddess Earrings-Oya

I designed the earrings, but CraigiePoo actually did the attaching of the bead strands onto the wire. I just couldn't figure that part out. She's crafty that way. Must be a Midwestern thing. She seems to know how to do a lot of random craftiness.

Beginner Goddess Bracelet-Oya

My second bracelet in my beginner Orisha bracelet trilogy. This is representational of Oya. She has been really calling me heavily the past few months. I've found it quite frustrating that I can't find a lot of information about her. She's almost like the forgotten Orisha. The information I do find on her is sometimes conflicting. Some say her colors are white and red, others say brown and red, or maroon, wine, etc. I've chosen to use red and brown with a little tiny bit of purple for this necklace.

Specifications:
Exposure: 1/400

Aperture: f/2.5

Beginner Goddess Necklace-Yemaya

This is another necklace I've created. It's the first of three I'm planning to make. The main reason I started to explore jewelry making was because I couldn't find the right necklace. It's a long story that I'll go into one day soon.

I've been reading a lot lately about the Yoruba Orisha's. This necklace is my first attempt at making neck ware that is representational of the Yemaya-the orisha who rules the sea.
