becoming conscious (again and again)

experimenting with transparent enamel over stamped metal

we cannot remain conscious of everything all the time.

beliefs & ideas do not sit like oil upon water -

they rise and fall,

often lying just below the surface.

and like the pebbles we see

through the clear waters of a stream,
by quieting the mind

we become aware of their existence.

then we have only to reach for them,

so that once again

they are ours

gently cupped in the palm of knowing.

waiting on some large tile to do some proper images... necklaces are challenging to photograph on a good day, but extra long focals take it to another level... saw a great dress mannequin at an antiques shop but it was nfs... 


so we keep experimenting - 

'... with intention'

clay thai amulet


tibetan double terminated quartz crystal (not a herkimer diamond, they are double terminated  as well but mined only in the area of herkimer, ny, usa) with a bit of rainbow trapped inside... 


red is an auspicious color in tibetan culture offering protective qualities...


muslin stamped with 'thoughts, words, actions'


if we choose them with intention, our inner and outer worlds come into harmony...
