I&#8217;m not sure about the background. The crescent moon will stay but the rest may change. The forest floor in my dream sparkled with shades of purple, muted greens and browns with silver moonbeams thrown in. The forest\u00a0 bejeweled in moonlight.<\/p>\n<p>I was able to capture the forest floor part of the dream in a necklace that I created last week. I have only three of these ceramic goddesses left ~ one of a kind ~ each one different from the other.<\/p>\n<p>I chose this Goddess pendant because it reminds me of\u00a0 an ancient goddess relic with the soft muted moss colored glaze and rich earth colors sprinkled about.
