I designed and created this piece as a fundraiser donation gift to the Virginia Thurston Healing Garden Cancer Support Center's annual gala. This is the largest tree of life creation I have made to date. This center is nestled in the heart of the New England woods and is surrounded by beautiful perennial native gardens. The Center offers a myriad of holistic healing modalities to cancer survivors and caregivers. My intention was to design a piece that captured the energy of the spiritual healing that I feel on their campus and through their workshops.
This "Healing Garden Tree of Life" features an advanced concentric circle wrap design with a bonsai style wire wrap crystal tree at the center. A shell heart and raw amethyst crystal hang in the heart of the piece. Radiating downward are a mix of amethyst chips and pendants, rainbow fluorite bugle beads, glass beads, metal leaf pendants, a filigree moon backed by a shell, a lotus flower and glass prisms.
