Wolf Holey Stone Pendant #045


With life-like details this bust of a red brown timber wolf on stone has been wire wrapped to make a most unique necklace pendant. With golden eyes, the fur was created by dry brushing many layers of paint over the texture of the natural stone. The white stone came from the Pacific Ocean; the Ring of Fire, and so the water of the sea created the natural hole. Wire is silver plated copper, and is strung on an adjustable satin cord, but will accept most chains. Perfect addition to a Spiritkeepers collection, ritual jewelry, or could even be used as an ornament for a small Wiccan Yule holiday tree! Can be worn by both men and ladies alike, (unisex).

Go to the Spiritkeepers Home at Realm of the Mystic Griffin to purchase & for more information.

Emperor Penguin Family Set

Hand painted realistic wildlife details!

The new Emperor Penguin Family Group is a set of 5 painted rocks; four beach pebble (jasper, agate, basalt) birds rest upright for display in natural grooves in the flat silica background stone. The baby Penguin is the world's smallest Spiritkeepers Stone to date at only 1/2" long by 1/4" wide! The largest bird in set is 1" by 2/4" and they are fun to play with because the scene can be changed! The set is a true unique creation of 3-D art. Each piece is individually signed with the Spiritkeepers sigil and numbered.


The shapes of the tiny pebbles inspired this set. I'd collected an interesting group of flat little stones, and had them together for quite some time. One day they caught my eye as a "family" and should stay together; hence the first Spiritkeepers set of any kind. I'd been saving the flat background rock for a long time. I thought of it right away as a perfect setting for the birds to rest upon. The scratched up surface the stone had to begin with reminded me of the way penguins will scratch out a walking path. It's a lot of fun playing with the pebbles, moving and changing the scene, and I think the set would be great stress relief at the office desk; certainly a unique conversation piece, and a perfect way to keep the spirit of a personal totem animal with you in the real world!

Shift Happens

The Curio Castle Shoppe and my Fine Art Store at Etsy are going through some big changes. We're currently relocating our real world location (home), and so I thought it best to temporarily close both of my Etsy shops during this time. If you have a favorite item, you can contact me and still make a purchase provided you can afford some patience as we organise the inventory storage. Good customer service and lovable products are always my priority, so I hope to resolve the situation swiftly.

Ongoing art projects too must sadly be put on hold for a while, and trust me this is the hard one for myself; shift happens, and shift we must. Overall I think the changes will be better for my family as well as my art work out put, but it sorely hurts to put a pause on things for now.
