All products in Totem Orbs are natural.
In the making of these totem orbs a meditative state of mind has to be found. As they are carved, l feel my way into the chosen animal, and find out much about myself whilst l work. They turn so many times in my hands whilst they pass through the five changes, to become as you see them now. l am sure that each one carries a little of me.
At the beginning of my journey all the orbs were made from clay. I felt that l was tapping into something ancient. However, it soon became clear, as each carving took well over a week, with the more complicated pieces taking even longer, the cost had become un-viable.
Therefore, the orbs are created using a natural gesso base, with a Vandyke crystal shellacking, and a natural wax finish.
Learning how to cast in the round also took many years, and countless failures, before working out a way that was kind to the planet and still gave good detailed imagery. The process is still long and complicated with much re-carving and handling, seeing many changes on the journey.
