elongated, horizontal, metallic gold, ‘all that glitters/sun & moon dancer’ moon phases wall hanging
this gold moon phases wall hanging is elongated & horizontal; it hangs approximately 5 feet across on pretty, supple tan goat leather. each & every piece of these wall hangings are cut, cleaned, dried, fired, glazed by hand, sanded, fired again & then painted with metallic gold over glaze & fired a third time! the gold content is 8% true gold; thus the expense. all of my glazes are non-toxic. these are part of my ongoing moon wall hanging series. the last 2 photos are of the white moon phases so you can assess the scale.
inspired by this quote --
"There was just one moon. That familiar, yellow, solitary moon. The same moon that silently floated over fields of pampas grass, the moon that rose--a gleaming, round saucer--over the calm surface of lakes, that tranquilly beamed down on the rooftops of fast-asleep houses. The same moon that brought the high tide to shore, that softly shone on the fur of animals and enveloped and protected travelers at night. The moon that, as a crescent, shaved slivers from the soul--or, as a new moon, silently bathed the earth in its own loneliness. THAT moon."
--Haruki Murakami
