golden rosy cross

Here's a close-up of a some gold from the base of the cross: this is a material I love working with, both for its alchemical power and its beauty.

The rosy cross is set into a Yew burl: though it fits snugly it's easy to remove.

Yew trees have a rich tapestry of myth and lineage around them...as do rosy crosses.

Something I'll need a bit more time to explore and write about!

Here's the rosy cross in negative, to give a sense of its soulful presence :)
