Spirit Guardians

Spirit Guardians

Spirit Guardian pendants are the embodiment of the unseen forces around us. They are inspired by my interpretation of the writings of Carlos Castaneda.

Vitro-glyphs

Vitro-glyphs

These designs are from ancient Alutiiq petroglyphs found on Kodiak Island, Alaska. I call my version vitro-glyphs because I am writing in glass.The pieces are not actually beads with holes in them. I wanted them to look like stones, so no holes yet. They are boro and the frit is blue moon.

fyrsmith's spinning tops

Boro spinning tops. The Top of Fashion. Jewelry you can play with, toys you can wear! I make holding findings for some of these so they can be worn as pendants and unclipped to play with. They spin nicely or they don't get out of my studio!!!

I have been working boro since 1974, when I owned a crafts gallery and teaching studio in Anchorage. A lot has changed since then! I make perfume bottles, oil lamps, ornaments, and lots of pendants. I also make jewelry with boro and do all my own metal work.

If you would like to purchase my work, please visit my etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/fyrsmith
I also have work available at Ptargmigan Arts in Homer, AK
