Christmas 2007 Limited Edition Geisha

Christmas 2007 Limited Edition Geisha

I began making limited edition Christmas geisha last year. Here is my collection for 2007.
Each one is carrying their special gift and I melted silver foil to create an evening sky full of stars on their kimono. The guiding Star of Bethlehem is represented by a cubic zirconia embedded into the front of each kimono. The brightest star among many.

The myrrh magi. Myrrh is an ingredient of perfumes and incense, was highly prized in ancient times, and was often worth more than its weight in gold(wikipedia). I chose to show it as a liquid in an ornamental bottle on this geisha.

The frankincense geisha. She's holding a small decorative chest that would contain the resin pieces.
The Japanese name Rika means valued fragrance.

I began Lampwork late May of 2005. Something sparked inside of me when I began melting glass and I just took off from there. My mother showed me how to light the torch, melt the glass and wrap it on the mandrel. Other than that I'm self-taught from books and lots of PPP. Up until June 2008 all my work was created on a HotHead torch. Now I'm using a GTT Lynx and LOVE IT!
My work is available on my website, Tracybeads.com and also on Ebay under the id azcowboygirl.
