I am drawn to the simple and ancient symbols in this month’s art inspiration. The earthy tones of the weaving recall red rock vistas of the American southwest. This ceramic pendant from Miss Barbara of BHClayworks embodies that same ancient spirit and rustic palette. From the red brick tone to the complementary beads, to the way this is all woven and tied together, this piece could easily be an archaeological artifact dug up from the sands of time, a personal talisman with mystical powers of protection.
