Herkimer Diamond
Faceted Spessartite Garnet Faceted Amethyst
Sterling Silver Wire & Sheet
I tried something a little different with this piece. I was looking at Aztec artwork for another project, & came across the Cipactli symbol. I did some sketching to figure out how it could be incorporated into a wrap & I'm happy with the results. Still trying to keep them super thin & clean.
Cipactli is a serpent that floats in the void of nothingness. Beyond Cipactli's monster body nothing exists. Our large & ever extending universe & all the other universes beyond are contained within Cipactli. In Cipactli's great body the gods gave form to our world. Thirteen heavens exist in Cipactli's head, the earth is in the middle, and nine underworlds go down the length of Cipactli's tail. Cipactli is so enormous that it's almost impossible to imagine. Our entire existence fits inside. The earth is a great, flat disc located in the middle of Cipactli & is surrounded by the Celestial Waters.

I've been wire wrapping since August 07 and seem to be pretty hooked. I find this process constantly evolving and am fascinated by its limitless possibilities. Each piece is one of a kind, and I strive to keep them thin, lightwieght, and the gemstones as translucent as possible. Comments, questions, or helpful advice is welcomed.
