Thorns plant.
Belt buckle based on the Crown of
Thorns plant.
Belt buckle based on "The Cave of the Apocalypse"
A photograph I took at the Muttart Conservatory
in Edmonton of a Crown-of-thorns or
Euphorbia milii plant. I used this image to make
the Crown of Thorn items you see about that
went perfectly with the copper icon above.

The Cave of the Apocalypse entrance.
Mosaic picture above the entrance to the Cave of the Apocalypse.
The mosaic depicts John of the Apocalypse dictating his visions to a scribe. In the cave, there was a spot in the rock that had been heavily worn away. This is said to be where John rested his head while receiving his visions.
What we remember most from this site was the overall atmosphere of the experience. We began by hiking up a narrow dirt road that wound around the side of the mountain. The heat was intense, and the sun was so bright it washed out the details of the day as we climbed. When we reached the site, pictured above, the pleasant fragrance of incense drifted out through the entrance.
Everything, from the colour of the stones, to the scent of the incense, to the view from the mountaintop, added to the sense of something deeply spiritual and special. It was the combination of these sensations that later became the foundation for our artistic inspiration.The cuffs are both sold now, and we may create new ones in the future. They are double anticlastic copper cuffs that sit comfortably along the wrist.
The remaining wall art from this series includes two abstract pieces created from my photographs of the Crown of Thorns plant, mounted on red mahogany. These will be available on the online store in the future.
