This is a unique, one of a kind, naturally twisted, sweet Chestnut wood wand. Handmade myself. It has a beautiful and rare twist formation that is prized by Druids and Mages alike. They are naturally formed by Honeysuckle vines growing up the tree by following the movement of the sun from east to west and thus twining around the branch tightly and influencing the growth of the tree into the twist formation. The wood for this wand has been ecologically sourced, in a magical woodland, on the banks of the river Wye, here in the ancient shires of Mid Wales. The length of this wand is 38cm This wand will be delivered to you in a custom handmade sheath. This is a quality sheath with a leather tie and pure copper closing beads, handmade our selves. This whole wand has been energetically cleansed. In British folklore and legend, wands made from chestnut wood are said to encourage longevity, increase energy, enhance intuition, and help with grounding and centring of energies. Chestnut wood can also be used to make talismans for justice, success, and to encourage a receptive and compassionate mind. Druids often made staffs and wands from Chestnut wood, because the physical connection to the wood allowed the user to draw longevity and invigoration from the wood. Sitting under a Chestnut tree will help ground and clarify the mind during periods of meditation.

OPŠTE INFORMACIJE O IZLETU Suvenir iz Matale Ovaj izlet u sopstvenom aranžmanu vam toplo preporučujem. Nije daleko od Retimna ili Herakliona (do Matale dorektno iz Iraklia je potrebno 1 i 30 minuta otprilike), nije naporno, nije skupo, a veoma sadržajno putovanje. Ono što možete posetiti su dva manastira i pet arheoloških mesta Gortus, Festots, Matala, Komos, Kamilari (Agia Triada), možda i muzej i okupati se u Libijskom moru - bukvalno gde god poželite. Uz put ćete nailaziti na dosta taverni gde možete prezalogajiti, prodavnica u kojima možete kupiti nešto za gricku. a možete i poneti sa sobom vodu i sendviče ... kako god vam odgovara i koliko vam budžet dopušta. Potrošićete sugirno novac za rentiranje auta, gorivo (ili autobuske karte) i za ulaznice.. ostalo možete iskalkulisati, pa na primer poneti svoj sucobran i lezaljku (preporuka, jer je sunce prilično jako i trebaće vam na bilo kojoj južnoj plaži). Suncobran možete kupiti u supermarketima - mislim da se isplati, pa makar ga ostavili pri odlasku sa ostrva. Ako odlučite da idete lokalni autobusom iz Hanje i Retimna vereme polaska i cene karata proverite OVDE okoline Herakliona (Kokini Hani ili Amoudare) OVDE Pažnja - ovo je druga stanica zove se Hanjoporta (Chanioporta) ne glavna KTEL-ova u luci. O KTEL autobuskim stanicama i mapa su OVDE Za inforamcije o autobusima Matale (ka lokalitetima) možete pogledati i ovaj red vožnje, ali nisam sigurna koliko je validan... najsigurniji je red vožnje na KTEL sajtu. Ulazince za arheološka nalazišta su bile uglavnom 4 evra po osobi (2013 godina) : Gortis - 4 evra, deca 2 evra, parking je besplatan. Festos - 4 evra Festos + Agia Triada 6 evra (ako odlučite da posetite oba mesta) Matala - javni parking 2 evra za ceo dan + ako želite na plažu nekog kafića : ležaljke 2 i suncobran 5 evra (ako naručite piće onda se ne plaća). Kommos - ne plaća se U Grčkoj plaže "pripadaju narodu", pa uvek možete da ponesete suncobran i da pronađete neko mesto za sebe (naravno ne baš usred prostora predviđenog za kafiće). Put je svuda veoma dobar, osim ako odlučite da siđete nekim neuobičajenim putem do neke izdvojene plaže. Onda ponesite i flašu sa vodom da operete staklo od auta od prašine. O vođnji na putevima Krita porčitajte OVDE a o Rent a car - u OVDE UPOZORENJE: na parkinizima kod arheoloskih mesta u ovoj turi budite vrlo pažljivi šta ostavljate u automobilu!!! Ponesite sa sobom sve što je vredno. Pasoše i vrednosti ponesite sa sobom, jer se se dešavalo da kola budu obijena i stvari pokradene! Nije često, ali zašto baš vama da se desi. Trasa puta Heraklion -Matala - Agia Triada (plavo) ili Retino - Matala (ljubičasto) PUTEŠESTVIJE DO MATALE Na izlasku iz Herakliona ka Messara oblasti MONI PALIANI Da bi došli do manastira, potrebno je da siđete sa glavnog puta niz podvožnjak kod sela Siva i vozite u pravcu Neo Verato i Verato sela, ka brdu na kome se nalazi Manastir. Moni Paliani ( kaže se PaljanI) je jedan od najstarijih manastira na Kritu. Ženski je manastir u kome svaka sestra ima posebnu keliju. Zanimljiv je i po legendi o Svetom drvetu Mirte - koje je neverovatnih dimenzija i veoma staro. Legenda kaže da se iz drveta čuo glas Device Marije, kada su seljani počeli da seku drveta Mirte kako bi raskrčili prostor za njive i kuće. Kada su došli do drveta videli su ikonu Device Marije od Mirte (Panagia Mirtidiotissa ) obavijenu granama Mirte. Meštani veruju da je unutar drveta ikona i dan danas. A s vremena na vreme grane drveta kao da oslikaju lik Device Marije koji je vidljiv samo deci. Ako stignete do manastira, ponesite olovku i priric na kome ćete ispisati svoju želju i okačiti je na granu ovog Svetog drveta Mirte i zapalite sveću - takav je običaj. Za lepe želje uvek ima mesta i uvek je vreme. Vidik sa ovom mesta je predivan. GORTUS (GORTYN) Posle naselja Agia Triada obratite pažnju na ostatke rimskog grada sa leve strane puta! nisu viidno obeleženi i akvadukt među maslinama. Posle tih ostataka među maslinama, sa leve strane se nalazi, da kažem, glavni deo arheološkog mesta zvanog Gortis. Jedan od najinteresantnijih anitčkih ruševina na Kritu Gortis (Gortyn) je bio prestonica Krita u doba rimljana. Ruševine se protežu na površini od nekoliko hektara i ono što vidte je mali deo. Iskopavanja se vrše i danas. A veći deo grada se proteže kroz maslinjake duž puta. Grad je bio naselje i u doba Vizantije, od kada potiče bazilika Svetog Titusa. Grad je napušten nakon invazije Arapa. Bazilika Agios Titus Prvo nailazite na Baziliku Svetog Titusa, čija se lobanja nalazi u velikoj crkvi Svetog Titusa (u levoj odaji kada ulzite u crkvu) u Irakliu (Heraklionu) Teatar u Gortisu Odeon Kod iz Gortine ili Zakon iz Gortine je najstariji i najveći sačuvani pisani dokument o grčkom (a time i Evropskom) zakonu. Pretpostavlja se da su sačuvani zapisi deo jednog obimnijeg zakona. Kod je otkriven u 19 veku. U njemu su opisani odnosi u porodici (domaćinstvu) , pitanja nasledstva, preljube ... manje je pronađeno zapisa o pravima vezanim za stvari ili odnose izvan domaćinstva Jedan od članova Zakona iz Gortisa Ako neko učini preljubu sa slobodnom ženom on mora platiti osu, braći, mužu kuće, on mora platiti 100 statera, ako to učini sa ženom od apertairosa (ni građanninom, ni robom), 10; . Ako rob obljubi slobodnu ženu, on će platiti duplo, ako učini sa ženom drugog roba, 5... Zakon iz Gortisa 450 pne. Ispred natkrivenog dela Odeona Legenda kaže da se Zevs pretvorio u bika, oteo Europu i doneo je ispod platana (danas ograđenog i obeleženog) , obljubio i ... kao rezultat .. na svet su došli... kralj Minos ( Minoas ) i njegova dva brat , Sarpidon i Radamanthis Mesto na kome je Zevs obljubio Europu Daljom šetnjom nailazi se na ostatke Vizantijskog Akropilosa, zidina, i na samom izlazu/ ulazu je muzej i muzej na otvorenom sa skulpturama od mermera. I kafić gde možete popiti sok, kafu... Mermerna statua rimskog cara Antonina Pija Odlaskom iz Gortisa ide se ka mestu Mires, pa na drugoj većoj raskrsnici malo dalje od Miresa levo ćete vidteti putokaz za manastir Moni Kalivianis. 52 km od Iraklija Put od Miresa . Odaberite ili prvo do Festosa i Matale ili do Muyeja, Agia Triade preko Komossa do Matale FESTOS Festos je otvoren od 8:00 do 19h, vodite računa o tome kada planirate put. (proverite) Na parkingu može biti gužve u jeku sezone - avgustu. Voda voda voda, biće vam potrebno mnogo vode, zaštita od sunca, patike i rani jutranji časovi ili kasno popodne. Jako je toplo već u junu. Ogromni platoi popločani, objašnjenja šta se nalazilo na nekom mestu. Gde je pronađen Disk iz Festosa ... i očaravajući pogled na dolinu... Drago mi je da sma išla sama, jer sam mogla da sedim i posmatram ruine i zamiljsam kako je sve to izgledali u Mnojska vremena... Festos je izgrađen oko 200 godina pre nove ere. Gradili su ga Kralj Minos i njegov brat Radamathis (tata Zevs, mama Europa, mesto gde je stvoren je onaj platan na fotografiji gore iz Gortisa). Festot nekako baš nije imao sreće., jer već nakon 300 godina od njegove izgrandje desio se zemljotres koji je skoro uništio grad. Administrativno sedište je prenešeno u Agia Triadu. Minojci su Fetsos odmah rekonstruisali, međutim 150 godina kasnije se desila još jedna katastrofa, ali se od ove Festos brzo oporavio i bio prestonica oblasti sve dok ga nije vojska Gortisa osvojila. Festos Ispred festosa pogled na dolinu oblasti Messara Meltačka crva Agios Jorgos, odmah iza Festosa - Sveti Đorđe sa zanimljivom pričom iza sebe, a dana napuštena MATALA Detalj iz Matale Ispred parkinga, plaže na samom ulazu u mesto Matala Pogled na Rimsko groblje u stenama Mtala kao stecište hipika .. još uvek Dnas je život - sutra nikada ne dođe.

Danas je arheološko nalazište i radi se na njegovo konzervaciji . Do njega se dolazi iz Matale preko sela PitsIdia., ili selima od Agia Triade. Udaljen je oko 72 km od Iraklia. Ovi ostaci grada u kome su Minojci živeli su minimalni u ondosu na to koliki je bio zaista grad (erozijom i vremenom nestao) ... Arheolozi kažu da se u njemu živelo možda i hiljadama godina. Svaka era i kultura je gradila neki svoj sloj (na već postojeći) . Sve do ranog Grčkog perioda, kada po pronađenim iskopinama nemožemo zaključiti da je bio grad sa stanovništvom koje stalno živi u njemu, već samo vojna luka. Ako rešite da posetite ovo nalazište koje izlazi na dugačku peščanu plažu - obavezno pročitajte oavj tekst KRISTKA ZAGONETKA zašto su Feničani i/ili Kartaginjani bili i ostali u Kommosu. Zato što je meni beskrajno zanimljiv prevešću ga kada završim sa svojim putešestvijima, za one koji ne zaju engleski. Mapa trougla Phaistos - Kamilari - Kommos.

Kamilari - je naziv naselja još iz vizantijskog doba i znači - onaj koji jaše kamile. Kao izgleda put do grobnice? Pogledajte video u koje je odlično sve objašnjeno. Kamilari Photocredit: Paradise Crete AGIA TRIADA Postoji parking koji se nije plaćao, a ulazi se ulaznicom koju ste kupili u Festosu koji je udaljen 5 km odavde ili posebna ulaznica od 4 evra kupljena na licu mesta. Mesto je dobilo ime po srednjevekovnom selu koje su turci uništili. Ime grada iz Minojskog doba je ostalo ne zabeleženo. Ruine su stare oko 4000 godina, Aa sama palata je sagrađena oko 1600-te godine pre nove ere. Ovo mesto je bilo jedno vreme admnistrativni centar ( kada je razrušen Festots) i stanovnici su imali sosptvenu valutu za plaćanje. Mogu se videti ostatci male palate takođe, kao i natkrivene pijace - što kažu da je prvi zabeleđeni slučaj u istoriji ( natkrivena pijaca). Tu su pronađene freske i sarkofag mikenskog princa koji je sahranjen na gradskom gorblju. Selo Agia Triada danas ima oko 200 stanovnika ... no pretpostavljma da ce u bidićnosti ova regija postati veoma popularna... Vizantijska crkva Agios Jorgos Galatas se nalazi unutar kompleksa Datira iz mletačkog perioda, sagrašena 1302. Unutar crkve su prilično dobro očuvane freske iz 14. veka Vizantijska crkva Agios Jorgos Galatas u Agia Triadi ETNOLOŠKU MUZEJ * Etnološki muzej u Vori je takođe interesantno mesto za obilazak u njemu su izloženi predmeti od koji oslikavaju kroz vreme život ( ishranu, posuđe, odeću, obuću, predmete za kuću, običaje i tradiciju ...) na Kritu. MONI KALIVIANI U povratku iz Agia Triade ka Miresu sa leve strane puta se vidi na putokaz za manastir Panagija Kalivani. Na ovom mestu se nalazi crkva još Vizantisjkom periodua, koja je srušena tokom vremena i turske okupacije i danas je tu Manastir podugnut 1911- 24, a od 1958 postaje i prihvatilište/sirotište za devojčce. Tako ovo putešestivije može početi posetom manastiru i završiti posetom drugom manastiru. U jednom danu toliko istorije, toliko priča, mora, sunca ne može da ne ostavi utisak, obogati i okrepi i dušu i telo ... Srećan put Vam želim! Južna strana Krita je moj definitivni favorit - zbog ovakvih zalazaka

Wood sculpture on Canvas From a limited edition of 5 Size : 46 x 46 x 50cm Ready to hang Signed and numbered certificate of authenticity Style : Geometric Subject : Abstract and non-figurative The “Formation” project is inspired by many factors, including phenomena that we can observe in nature, society and in a human being. It is a sign of life and development. Even the least moving creatures like plants and trees are changing their color and shape throughout the life cycle. They are responding to external conditions of existence by growing- stretching to the source of light, digging deeper for water. However, the inanimate nature is not as static as you might think. The movement is a pledge of development, and its dynamics illustrates the nature of a change.

The bowl features an almost iridescent resin inlay which highlights the natural beauty burr pattern in the stunning elm wood, creating a unique one-of-a-kind statement piece. Hand-turned in our small workshop at the edge of the Peak District, the unusual patterns and colours in this beautiful bowl, arise from a natural process called burr or burl formation. Wood burr or burl formation is generally the result of some form of stress on the tree, this could be an injury or an infection, which leads to grain growing in a deformed manner. For us working with burr is a beautiful reminder how the daily challenges and stresses we experience, make us who we are. Just as the stunning burr patterns, each and every challenge we overcome, adds to our story. The intricate patterns that are created through burr formation, make burr or burl wood some of the most sought after wood for wood workers. We hope that this bowl acts as daily reminder of the beauty and strength of nature and how the challenges we face make us more resilient and bring out our inner strength. Beautiful in it's own right as a decorative piece, this bowl could also be used as a storage bowl, for small items such as craft or stationary supplies, jewellery, keys or as a small fruit bowl as a wonderful addition to any table. The bowl is 14.8cm wide and 6.8cm high. These measurements are the external dimensions of the bowl and are measured to +/- 1 cm. As wood is an organic material, it can naturally warp and change over time, so all measures are approximate. While the bowl is finished with a moisture-resistant coating, it is not entirely waterproof. That means that the wood finish is susceptible to moisture damage over time. To keep it looking its best, avoid soaking or exposing the bowl to prolonged moisture, as the moisture can still penetrate the wood fibres, causing swelling and compromising the finish. Eventually, excess water can lead to warping or cracking, so take care to keep your wooden items dry and well-maintained. We want your wooden gifts to last for years, so here are some simple tips to follow. If it needs it, give your item a quick wipe with a damp cloth, then dry it immediately with a towel. Never put the product in the dishwasher, store it in the fridge, use it to store or hold moist/wet items or let items such as fruit 'go off' in it, as it may stain.

ORIGINAL SANDSTONE SWIRL SCULPTURE This is a rare, one-of-a-kind, vintage home decor item. I found this piece when I was on a trip over 25 years ago to California Wine Country and happened upon an amazing studio of craftsmen who hand-design each item of sandstone sculptures they create. I was immediately entranced BY this beautiful sculpture. Its beauty radiates from its intricate and highly detailed organic form, reminiscent of dunes with swirling sand formations or nature's intricate detailing found on tree bark. It is both artistic and artisanal in its unique design and flawless execution. Sculpted with a free-flowing design, its craftsmanship is superb.

The mysterious Tower of the Devil, known as Devils Tower, is located in northeastern Wyoming in the United States. Its height is over 1,266 ft., which is comparable with the height of the Empire State Building, which is about 1,250 ft. without the spire. The rock formed about 65 million years ago by volcanic activity, and is unusually shaped in the form of woman's hips which was the result of erosion of the surrounding soft rock around a strong internal structure.

Handcarved from reclaimed teak tree trunk, this lovely bowl is a true one-of-a-kind! Images by Uniqwa Collections Artisans have handcrafted these bowls while preserving the natural beauty and shape of the teak wood. The result of their craftsmanship is a striking display bowl with an organic edge and irregular form, including tree trunk formations and separations.  Each piece is unique, depending on the wood and artist's inspiration.  MAIN FEATURES Dims: 30 D x 10 H cm Materials: Handcarved reclaimed teak tree trunk SHIPS FROM Australia FOB Point of Origin directly form the supplier DELIVERY TIME 2-20+ weeks (depending on availability), please inquire if you are working on a tight schedule DISCLAIMER Every Uniqwa piece has a story… Our range is largely individually, hand-made pieces. As the majority of our products are made from natural materials, elements such as texture, colour and pattern may vary piece to piece. Reclaimed timbers, naturally weathered materials and off-cuts otherwise discarded are frequently part of Uniqwa design features. Over time, natural splitting, cracking and loss of natural oils may occur and form part of the characteristics and beauty of Uniqwa products. These are not viewed as imperfections or faults, rather part of the natural life and beauty of timber. We believe the use of natural materials and hand-crafted elements result in a testament to the unique qualities found in materials originating from nature. As every monitor displays different colour tones, the colour of pictures on our website and social media cannot be taken as a true colour indication of the actual products. Some product's tones may appear to vary from catalogue or website images. CUSTOMER SERVICE Have a question? Email [email protected] and we'll get back to you ASAP.

Hand turned bowl from cherry burl. The natural voids and bark make this bowl truly a one of a kind. This piece could never be mass reproduced. Wonderful piece to be displayed on any dining table, mantle or desk. Would make a remembered housewarming gift. A burl is a tree growth in which the grain has grown in a deformed manner. It is commonly found in the form of a rounded outgrowth on a tree trunk or branch that is filled with small knots from dormant buds. Burl formation is typically a result of some form of stress such as an injury or a viral or fungal infection. This amazing decorative bowl measures 7 3/4 inches in diameter and 2 inches tall and was hand turned on a wood lathe and finished in general finishes salad bowl finish so as to highlight what nature has created in this burl. Due to the nature of the wood, it may experience some movement as it continues to dry and may become out of round. Our turned bowls are finished food safe . Please avoid the microwave and dishwasher and do not submerge in water for any length of time. Wipe clean with warm water and soap and wipe dry immediately . A periodic application of a commercial cutting board conditioner will keep your purchase food safe and looking good for years to come.
