Desert Nomad Cactus
$125.00
I really enjoy creating these unique necklaces out of real cactus!
I’m so excited for how this pendant turned out! After I found the sundried cactus bones out in nature, I then hand sawed the wood down into the shape I desired and carved to where the wood looks clean and new just below the surface. Next I hand sanded the piece to smooth it out making sure to leave some natural grain definition in the wood. Then I wax protected the wood and finally it is ready to wire wrap to make a pendant so I take 100% solid copper and brass wire and create a design from my knowledge. I weave minerals in that feel good to the soul like:…

Steve and I made a stop in Flagstaff and down to Sedona around Christmas 2020.. it snowed so it was literally cold and we had a chill time, too! We made a plan to stop in “The Bead Garden” in Sedona and as my first bead store, I picked out some beautiful minerals to include and compliment my collections
My whole life I’ve loved objects with holes in them.. like shells on the beach, hagstones, wood with holes after knots have withered out, or steel oxidizing with a rusting surface looking like swiss cheese. I find decay beautiful. I find the imperfect beautiful. I find comfort and joy in filling the void with beauty, with love, with a hope for good things. That is what this necklace was born of… freedom of flight from a life well lived full of desire for the dirty details that demand my attention xoxox Laura
