Walking through the gardens, I found myself inspired to paint a series of mandala pendants that capture the essence of the Rugosa Rose.  Often, you see this rose on the side of the roads growing year after year and blessing the trip with beautiful flowers.  They are tough plants that seem to grow where you least expect them to.
 
Just like us, we grow and blossom like the Rugosa rose does.  In defiance of the earth we are placed in or in difficult situations.  This pendant is all about our inner power to transform and change through the seasons and become beautiful in our own eyes. Hand-painted in vibrant shades of red and pink, the design radiates from light to dark, creating a harmonious flow of colour. Each brushstroke and dot has been infused with joyful energy and positive vibrations. The vibrant hues wrap around both the front and sides of the pendant, making it a truly captivating piece.
 
To ensure lasting beauty, multiple layers of water-based varnish have been applied, preserving the colours and protecting your wearable artwork for years to come. As you hold your pendant, you may even feel the delicate texture of the paint strokes beneath your fingertips.  
 
Measuring 2 inches in diameter by 1/4 inch deep, it has been painted on a sanded flat disc of smooth birch wood.  The bail is handmade using plated Rose Gold artisan wire.  As this is a piece of artwork, it is not recommended to wear in the water.  Please keep your art pendant dry.  You can choose to have your pendant on a long knotted cord or a leather cord with a clasp when ordering.
