Mold 033: LADA'S CROSS Symbol: Lada is the Russian goddess of Love. This is her symbol representing the movement, rotation of the Universe powered by the Energy of Love.Wood: black walnut (Juglans nigra). Black walnut is a very, very dense and durable wood. Because it is so hard and tough to carve, few carvers ever carve it unless they use power tools. However, I do enjoy working with this noble wood, and in doing so only use simple hand tools for carving. (I do not use any power tools or electric equipment to carve any of my molds. They are all authentically handmade.) This mold was hand-rubbed with food-grade organic linseed oil to preserve the wood, enhance the wood grain and pattern and give the mold its shiny look. This particular piece of black walnut has a unique transition from black to cream color - the cream symbolizes the dawn brought about by Lada, goddess of Love. Dimensions: 4 3/4 x 4 1/2 x 7/8 in (12,1 x 11,5 x 2,1 cm). |
