14. Celestial Moon Phase Wall Hanging with Hanging Crystals
What This Idea Means
Combining celestial metalwork with crystal drops, this vertical wall art piece features hammered brass moon phase discs (waxing, full, waning) connected by chains, ending in dangling raw clear quartz points and faceted amethyst pendants.
How to Make It
- Assemble Moon Phases: Connect 5 hammered brass moon phase discs sequentially using brass jump rings and jewelry chain.
- Wire-Wrap Crystals: Wire-wrap 3 raw clear quartz points and 2 faceted amethyst drops using 22-gauge brass wire.
- Attach to Discs: Suspend the wire-wrapped crystals from the bottom edge of each moon phase disc at varying vertical drop lengths.
- Bottom Prism: Attach a heavy clear crystal prism sphere to the bottom-most moon phase disc for balance.
- Mount on Wall: Hang the top ring on a decorative wall hook near a bed, vanity, or reading nook.
Tips & Variations
- Tip: Hang this piece against a dark painted accent wall (navy, charcoal, or forest green) so the golden brass and clear quartz contrast sharply.
- Variation: Replace clear quartz with raw black obsidian points for a dark, gothic celestial aesthetic.
