WELCOME TO SPIRIT KEEPERS

For centuries primitive cultures have made figurative forms to house a spirit.  These formed images were thought to bring good luck or protection and to hold special powers. The figures were made of simple materials and found elements. Often adornments or symbols that reflect power, happiness or good fortune were attached to the figures to strengthen the powers of the spirit.
 
In the same manner, Shelley uses material found on exotic travels and local trips to adorn her creations. Each "Spirit Keeper" is unique and reflects her energy and spirit.
 
Hours are spent in the fine craftsmanship of her work. Beads, rings, shells, straw, fabric, wood, yarn and vintage textiles are woven and blended together to create unique works of art. The "Spirit Keepers" are a reflection of the positive energies used in their creation.
