Most of you are very familiar with our beautiful dreamstones, Seaview Moon, Dream Angel, Mermaid Memories, CloudWalker and Moon Shadow. This week we give you a sneak peek of our latest dreamstone, “Dream Skull” and share the inspiration behind its design.
After much debate as to what form our latest dreamstone
should take, our team agreed we needed something that
would embrace this fascinating age of technology while maintaining the Kirks
Folly aesthetic.

We’ve been incorporating skulls into the line for many years
now and your response has become increasingly favorable. The appearance of
skulls in fashion for over two decades has made the skull more than a trend.
It’s become a classic symbol of strength, wisdom, fearlessness and the front-runner of its many positive meanings is survival.
Whether overcoming obstacles or coming through a difficult time, the skull is the new talisman for vitality and immortality.
Whether overcoming obstacles or coming through a difficult time, the skull is the new talisman for vitality and immortality.
Simply put, wearing a skull says “I'm a
survivor.”
1) The base model 2) The embellished model 3) The glass skull |
It took our design team over two years to create this
amazing glass skull. (1)We worked long hours on the initial metal model. (2)In traditional Kirks Folly form we embellished the model with ivy, the symbol of enduring life.
We love it! Please tell us what you think.
Oops, almost forgot, The Dream Skull Collection will be
available exclusively at Kirksfolly.com in May 2014.

Oh my goodness these are absolutely amazing! I love them! I look forward to adding some to my ever growing Kirk's Folly collection. I sure hope to see them paired with Crows and Ravens! I am so insanely giddy right now! Lanie Alexandria Costeas
ReplyDeleteThese are incredible! Can't wait to see in person. Love the idea of pairing with ravens. Anxioously waiting for their arrival.

Glad you are expanding the line using the skull. I have a couple of pieces already and wouldn't mind a couple more. I am into the "Day of the Dead' and have one of your skull pieces in a memorial alter for some pets I have had that passed away. I like the idea of this blog and I hope this is a little more private than facebook . I am using my old fairy name that I had on your original forum that used to be on your website. Thanks for all the good work you guys do.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how you're going to feature them!

I'll take one in each color please. Love the skulls and Day of the Dead. Definitely a Paranormal Princess must have. - Paranormal Princess.
ReplyDeleteWow, do i love the plain glass skull!!!! Would love them in a plain bezel seting on a cord....OK that's for me. However, the ivy skulls are super, they do blend the earthy and delicate, sorta Victorian, but really timeless, Ok I have never see anything quite like these. They have a look that could have come from almost any time in history. Also a reminder that our bones are to us as the stones are to Mother Earth.
