Golden Whale retailer Totem Orb, mindfulness meditation, grace and majesty, intelligent and beautiful

A hand held aid to meditation, made from all natural products, locally...its greatest journey will be to you.

Many fish have lived on this planet for 450 million years.
We share a quantity of D N A with this wonderful creature.
As an embryo fish and humans are difficult to tell apart.
In many cultures they represent eternal youth, abundance and faithful love.

All the products used in making Totem Orbs are natural.
In the making of these totem a medative state of mind has to be found, and 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 as they pass through the 5 changes to become as you see them now, l am sure that each one carries a little of me.

At the begining of my journey with the Orbs all were made from clay. I felt even then that l was tapping into something ancient. However it soon became clear as each carving took well over a week to carve, with the more complicated pieces even longer retailer the cost had become unviable.
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 recarving and handling, seeing many changes on the journey.
All products are natural from the gesso base, to the Vandyke crystal, shellacking to a natural wax finish.
