Hamsa wall decor, Hamsa wall hanging, Hamsa Wall Art, Hamsa, wall hanging Hamsa, wooden hamsa, aged hamsa, lavender hamsa, wall Hamsa

 This beautiful handmade hamsa is a stunning custom design, created on a handcrafted wooden piece.

100% Handcrafted and carefully picked and handled to make each and every piece unique and one of a kind.

Measurements: 5.25" x 3.5"

This Hamsa can be used for a home or business decor piece hung on a wall is a very common ornament in many Middle Eastern countries.

The Hamsa is believed to protect and shield against the evil eye and the envious eye of strangers.

It is also believed to create positive energy, happiness, prosperity and good health.

It is a lovely, meaningful gift idea.

The Hamsa is a symbol that has been around for thousands of years with its many names Hamsa, Hamsa Hand (Arabic), Chamsa, Hand of God,Hand of Fatima, Hand of Miriam, Hamesh Hand (Hebrew) to name just a few - the meaning is for the most part the same, the five digits of the human hand protecting the user.

To a certain extent folklore and superstition are behind the Hamsa's popularity and for the most part it has nothing to do with the official Jewish religion.

Hamsa is Gift wrapped.

Feel free to contact me for any questions!

Pantone's Color of the Year 2017

Good Morning,

Today the blog shares Pantone's Color of the Year for 2017: Greenery.  Bright, fresh and airy.

GREENERY

PANTONE 15-0343

  

A refreshing and revitalizing shade, Greenery is symbolic of new beginnings.

 Greenery is a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore and renew. Illustrative of flourishing foliage and the lushness of the great outdoors, the fortifying attributes of Greenery signals consumers to take a deep breath, oxygenate and reinvigorate.

Greenery is nature’s neutral. The more submerged people are in modern life, the greater their innate craving to immerse themselves in the physical beauty and inherent unity of the natural world. This shift is reflected by the proliferation of all things expressive of Greenery in daily lives through urban planning, architecture, lifestyle and design choices globally. A constant on the periphery, Greenery is now being pulled to the forefront - it is an omnipresent hue around the world.

A life-affirming shade, Greenery is also emblematic of the pursuit of personal passions and vitality.



What is the PANTONE Color of the Year?
A symbolic color selection; a color snapshot of what we see taking place in our global culture that serves as an expression of a mood and an attitude.

We have lots of fun, fresh and fashionable Greenery items at The Alchemists Vessel  shop.

Thank you for stopping in and having a look.

The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.

At The Studio

Good Morning,

Happy New Year on and all.

The studio has been in End of Year Mode, and now that we have counted, stocked and organized we're ready to get back to the business of creating wonderful and unique items to adorn yourselves.

Here in Idaho it has been one wintry blast after another, the snow is piled high (finally starting to melt a bit) and it is cold.  Icicles of Doom hang from the roof, it is beautiful and inspirational.




We have been working on new weaves and patterns and colors to please the eye and the wearer.


Shown here in Half Persian 4-in-1 in Bright Aluminum, Dark Green and Violet, and the new weave "Hoodoo Hex", lovely sheet weave creating hexagonal shapes along the length, in Bright Aluminum and Turquoise rings.

Over the next week or two we will be listing these items in the shops and creating more in varying colors.

We hope you'll stop by the shop, website or Social Media pages and see what we've been up to.  Contact us if you have a special request and let's make something wonderful together.

The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.
