The Sentinels

A new design spawned from my earlier work (The Fire Within). These are called Sentinels, watchers over their worlds and dimensions.
 
Not only are they watching and seeing all , but you can see their origins staring back at you. This one comes from an aquatic world. Imagine a planet entirely made of liquid, but for a small patch of solid substance. Impossible? In this dimension maybe...

~*Abstract Sentinel*~

~*Abstract Sentinel*~

The body on this one is designed similiar to my geisha pendants. I added an abstract design, the result of just playing around with bits of leftover glass on my table.

~*Ameretat*~

~*Ameretat*~

Named after the Zoroastrian goddess of plants and long life, Ameretat means ''immortality'' in Avestan.

~*Eris*~

~*Eris*~

The Greek name Eris means "strife" and that's what this Sentinel's planet looks like. The surface boiling and bubbling, gases rising above to create mists and vapors that put on amazing, ever changing light shows. Imagine a cross between the northern lights and a lava lamp!

~*IOLE*~

~*IOLE*~

Iole watches over a beautiful blue-violet colored nebula.
The interstellar clouds of plasma, gases and dust swirl around brighter areas, the birthplace of stars.

~*Tiamat*~

~*Tiamat*~

Tiamat means "sea" in Akkadian. Babylonian myth says Tiamat was cut in half and pieces of her body were used to make the earth and sky.

Sentinel- Ashtad

Sentinel- Ashtad

Ashtad watches over a world much like our own.
Except the once verdant planet is now pitted with craters, the atmosphere thinned, the oceans drying up.
I guess you could say the inhabitants were not good stewards and paid the ultimate price, extinction.
Harsh justice.
But, where there's still water, there is life and Ashtad watches as things unfold the way they are meant.

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.
