magnus homestead Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hello, Here's my latest bead in sterling. It is 48 mm in diameter. I am working on a sculpture in boxwood and ebony so the next new work I show here will be an actual wood carving - I am always in awe of and inspired by the beauty of some of the work posted here. In Love and Light, Magnus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil White Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Well done, Magnus. I particularly like the way you have interpreted the heron's head, and the combination of NW coast style and realism. Gives me some ideas. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergio Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hi all. Phil White talk about NW coast style, what is it exactly ? I thought that your inspiration came from the celtic style , you interwine the feathers of the head like the "celtes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StixnCanes Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hi Magnus, I liked it when it was a drawing and now seeing it in the "flesh", wow. The design is so dynamic it could be used on any number of jewelry pieces, pendant, pin, ring, hair piece. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnus homestead Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Thank you Ron, I will probably be making a locket from these components soon as my wife suggested it. Sergio, The N.W.Coastal design Phil is referring to is the style many Native Americans along the coast of Washington state and British Columbia work in their carvings and paintings. I live in this area and kayak in a boat I built myself in the tradition of the Inuits and the land I live on was once a Native site. I love the feeling of this way of constructing abstract spirit based animal forms and it so fits the Heron and Salmon of the region that it just came out. The intertwining of the head feathers you picked up on are to reflect my own roots. My father was from Norway and I was born in England with a Scottish grandmother. I think the way that many tribal cultures express the "spritual being" of nature through their artworks in very much akin to how I work, so it is only natural for me to incorporate their styles. Blessings, Magnus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
