The Green Man

For our first project we are looking at clasps as a focal point. I decided to focus on this guy for this first project.

 This is The Green man. He is the Celtic God of the woods. So normally he is portrayed as just a face of leaves. Though he is described as having horns or antlers, it is hard to find a photo of him with them. This depiction seems to be the most popular one.

Semester Theme

We have had to pick a theme to use for the semester and as usual I am was very behind. While I did pick a theme it seems to be evolving slightly as I go. It is still under the same basic concept though so I think it will be alright. I ultimately settled on going with a theme of Celtic druidism and other paganistic religions in that area.

I suppose introductions are in order.

I am going to start off telling you a little bit about myself before I just dive in and start talking about work and projects. For those of you who don't know, my name is Megan, M.A. Connell is actually a pen name that I use. I am a sophomore jewelry design student at Buffalo State. As well as being a jewelry design student I also dabble in writing and a number of other crafts, but I have other blogs for that. You probably don't want to see those though. If I let you see those you would honestly think I was crazy.

This blog will mostly be school projects. Mainly the jewelry ones, but it's possible that there may be a few non-jewelry things that slip through.
