Wow I love the blue pendants very much, another great creation of the master!!
You should come to visit him! I will leave you to play making jewels together in his workshop for the day... I can imagine your smiles already!!!
Oooh that would be heaven, my smile would last for days............
Did Faouzi have these pendants specially made or are they a discovery? I have never seen older amulets restyled such as this.
It looks to me that the little triangles and the blue stone is added to the pendants, correct??
For me they are very beautiful but maybe others think it is not done to remodel something old.
Actually, I think the pendants are attractive as well, am merely curious as to their source.
As I inderstand it, he uses the old ones which are damaged and re covers them with new adornments. they are not old pieces, they are re worked old pieces.
Faouzi sees it that creativity and design must continue in Marrakech or the future souks of Morocco will have nothing to offer but chinese imported goods. He understands the history and culture well, and is also proud to be evolving and creating the contemporary Marrakshi design.
what a great idea as many will be damaged badly or have holes, this looks perfect to me.
