IT’S ALMOST BEEN A YEAR

I try to use critical thinking

while looking for my authentic voice.  I can never be comfortable just being myself.   I always fudge the real me with veils of gauzy materials.  Being predisposed to like silk chiffon waving in a tropical breeze beneath a mostly sunny sky writing as totally me is like:  It’s Summertime and you’re invited to a cocktail party at a fabulous nudist colony with a private beach.  When you show up at the nudist colony by the sea,  you find you are the only one completely naked.  The thing that seems reasonable is to sip on a vodka tonic saying to whoever happens to look at you,  “I Thought it was a naked party“.  After a while it gets stale.  Like looking for your authenticity by writing as yourself on a public blog.

Setting Moon in the Light of the Setting Sun

It’s almost been a year since We (the universal Imperial We) decided to take photos of the moon every month.  The picture journal led us to apply our critical thinking cap strap pulled tightly under our pointy chins.   We (BJoy & me the real we) began to edit the photos and as we fooled around with the lighten/contrast to better see what was in the dark…We noticed ORBs .  Other things are subjects since being  reveled  though the months of pictures too.

Visitors In An Amethyst Cloud

I have been through a Health Crisis (not me but a close relative) and a Spiritual Crisis followed close on its heels.  That close on its heel was a little trite but in times like these a good throw-away line comes in handy.  It is a comfort in the time of great need to know the name of the God you serve.  Like Dylan said, ‘You’re  Gonna Have to Serve Somebody‘.  Being able to quote Dylan during a Spiritual/Health Crisis is also comforting.  I think.

I Gathered the Gemstone Together

For 33 days my loved one was on life support in ICU.  He looked like he was in the Matrix, hooked up to every machine pumping-pinging-analog read outs-blinking lights flashing-hospital machine in the world.  The smell of the room was ice-cold urine.  At least that is the emotional smell of the room.  It was as if Death stalked the corridors.  I kept thinking I see a dark thing darting around corners.  When I looked quickly to catch the black-robed scythe wielding bastard all I saw was the forced smile and the genuine pity from other visitors eyes as they watched their machined-up loved ones breath.

Test Every Belief You Have

  I prayed.

ORMUS is Gathered Everyday

At the same time as this great CyClonic Wedge of Energy is flowing, my sister is editing the videotape of the ORMUS Conference  2011 in Enota, GA.  BJoy, had the misfortune of thinking the ORMUS dudes were all eating the same Rainbow Stew as she was but has since found out that all  Mens Feet are cast in clay when it comes to making money.  BJoy is a sensitive sort so she waited for the crisis to pass and is offering the DVD at an almost ‘free’ charge to cover her expenses and editing costs.  As Bjoy says, “Men!”  I agree.

I have bought gemstones.  I am being drawn to Calcite, Included Quartz, Larimar, Pearls, Ruby and Chrysocolla.  I have a new necklace I’m working on and I hope to finish it and I’ll post the first results of the ORMUS healing Necklace & Bracelets here.

The gemstone in the picture I bought from ForetTwo.etsy.com.  Please take a look at Elizabeth’s Gemstones.  See for yourself if these stones have a pull toward you.

The David Hudson Speaks DVD set is available here BjoyArt.etsy.com as are the fabulous Guardian Angels. This is a link to a short video about the conference please feel free to visit this –>  LINK  <–This is a direct link to YouTube.

I hope to post this Unique Handmade Gemstone Necklace soon but until then please free to check out my Powerful Gemstone Jewelry on Etsy.

HARNESS GEMSTONE ENERGY

The sun burst through

a slit in the shade and lit up the Herkimer Diamond at the top of the Gemstone Stack.

Gemstone Energizing Gemstone

I thought it startling and I was riveted to the shimmering outside shape of the Herkimer Diamond sitting on top of My Amethyst.  I felt a meshing and then a falling sensation as I closed my eyes and saw the Gemstones aura dance behind my eyelids.  A slash of bright yellow formed like a rind on the whiteness then a flame of red leaping  the glowing Gemstone Stack.

Moon Meditation Silver Rays of the Cosmic Current

It seemed as if I was looking at the full moon.  I had received my Larimar 12 days ago and this would be my first full moon since she came.

Larimar & Herkimer Diamonds sunbathe After ORMUS Shower

I felt her coming for 5 decades.  Seems a long time to wait for her to find me, or did I finally say yes to the tug of my destiny?  It all started when I was twelve.  That year when all things changed.  I was in great turmoil and crisis heaved in all directions.  I was lost.  My mother lost contact with me near my eleventh birthday as we lived in different houses.  I with my Grandma & Dad and she with her new family and my older sister.   I was forced to live with her part of the year when my Father went to Florida.  When I stayed with my Mother I stayed in my room.  Torn between two families I decided to belong to no tribe I would be loyal only to myself and my side kick sister, Bonnie Joy.

Darkness Is Where the Truth Is

We shared a bedroom until I turned 12.   My mother communicated by opening my bedroom door and throwing a book on my hospital cornered bed.   This time it was the  Sleeping Prophet by Edgar Casey.  I don’t believe in coincidence now but I thought it was an unusual subject.  It was that time of swirling hormones, divorce, abandonment, and sorrow that I first learned of a blue stone that would be found in the Caribbean that would issue healing to the World from Heaven.  

The Universal Umbilical Cord

I read those words written forty years after the author had passed on yet it seemed someone spoke the words to me as I read them on the page.  I answered a loud and said, ” I want one of those stones“.  My curiosity compelled me to finish that book and everything else I could find to read about Edgar Casey.  Threw the years of Gemstone Attraction I found out the name of the Gemstone I was looking for.  You see, the Gemstone is Larimar,  a gift of a Gemstone the color of the Caribbean Sea.  A Fabled Link to the Fabled Land Of Atlantis.

Gemstones of the Earth & Sea

Larimar  vibrates at an earthly, low vibration until it is joined to its soul mate where they link their awareness and the Larimar will then vibrate to the Master Number 55.  The two become one intention and the human gains insight on how to heal oneself.

After Linking This Stone Works with You

To just say it is a rock albeit an expensive rock, still, a rock would be fair enough but it wouldn’t close the conversation.  Is it to heal your whole body, yes, and beyond.  Can a gemstone really do this?

only if you have the faith of a trembling 12-year-old school girl.

Weddings Pearls Rose Quartz & Sterling Silver

A Wedding Bracelet of Rose Quartz, Pearls, Silver & Leather

A Wedding Bracelet

She is getting married in a barn.  OK.  Works for me.  Country Folk don’t need me to defend their taste.  She wanted Seven pieces of Jewelry for her Bridesmaids .   She asked for Timeless Jewelry in a Rustic Modern Style.  A piece of Jewelry that would link all the girls together in a great emotion while revealing the secret truth about each personality like the unfolding of a flower.  OK, I ‘m there.  The Order is real.   Over $700 so I must get to work.  My first thought, Pearls.

We Emanate Energy

The Silver-White Ray of the Moon 

There is an invisible emanation that we release from ourselves, capable of perception, that touches everything we come in contact with. We come in contact to the Moon every 24 hours.   The Moon transmits a similar energy toward the cosmos that we are a part of.  We bath-in this silver-white ray of light.  We feel this ray in the pit of our stomach, a gut reaction, we turn to look at the Moon.     We can’t help but look at the Moon.  It is so fascinating in all its phases.

Gazing At The Full Moon

 We write Poetry to it.  We catch ourselves gazing at the full moon like a lover.  This Moon Energy is beauty shared with our lovers.  Feeling sexy yet?

Argentium Sterling Silver Birds Nest & Pearls

 This is where the Gemstone Pearl comes in.  The message we send to the universe (and to those in our wedding party) is that we hear the tolling of the bell of this cosmic moment and we share our love freely with those we love.  Oh!  To be young and in love with a white dress and a simple strand of pearls.  A Cultured Natural, Organic Gemstone called, Pearl,  Amplifies a  Message of Love.   

Cosmic Spiral With Pearl

Love directed by the Silver-White Moon Ray is symbolized by the white horse, unicorn , or bull spoken of throughout written history.   Like the Moon, it influences our emotions, speaking to us with the voice of our mother, we sense love from a place that is sensitive, vulnerable, open in mind-body and spirit.  A Pearl represents to the Male side of us the picture of the perfect mate.  The highest calling of union to spirit symbolized and cemented with the coupling of physical bodies.

Rustic Modern Leather, Pearl and Sapphire Crystals Bracelet

  Other Gemstones that resonate this energy are Rose Quartz,  Opal, and Agate (Chalcedony).  Just to let you know, I finished all my jewelry pieces including an anklet for the bride.  The wedding did take place in a barn on the island of Maui.  I saw pictures of the wedding.  Sublime.  Rustic Modern means living to the fullest and loving the handmade over the mass-produced.  I love the project and I love-making my gemstone Energy Jewelry.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE

The Patterns of My Focused Attention

What holds my attention is light through a colored stone.  Gemstones capture my attention.   They hover about me, Zeppelin-ish, sparking waves of thought.  It’s fun to play in the reflected lights.

light through a colored stone

A Few Weeks Before Phnom Penh Fell

I was in Northern Thailand working, loving.  Almost famous I wore my beauty as a talisman. What in the world could go wrong?

After April 17th, being an American 150 Kilometers from the Cambodian border my request to extend my visa was denied.  I only had two weeks to shop. Determined to go to Burma for Jade my boss told me no, NO!   Under no circumstances, no.  I met a man named Hardy Stockman, a German Soldier of Fortune.  He offered to take me to a village in Burma where he was sure I would find the Jade I was looking for.  We traveled by car as long as the roads allowed.   When we got to the Fong River we had to walk across the bridge into Burma.   We crossed under the watchful glare of men with machine guns clutched to their chests.   I was electrified by danger and charged with adrenaline.  That mission for Jade linked my spirit forever to the intoxicating energy of  The Colored Gemstone.

How to Wear A Power Stone

The most effective way to harness the energy of a Gemstone is to wear it.  Bingo!  I am creating jewelry.  My problem:  I’m  allergic to metals.  That’s great.  I found my niche.  I could design jewelry for the Power Hungry Uber-Sensitive  Rustic Modern Girl.  She also would like Minimalist Furniture, Haiku Poetry,  Irish Knit Sweaters on a chilly morning  walk by the lake.  That’s My Girl.

Petro Tourmaline colors of Earth

I heard a story about a Princess dowager in ancient China who tried to acquire all the Tourmaline she could so she could be buried with it.  She believed something about the Gemstones’ Energy.  Hummm.  Looking for clues I stumbled upon greater minds like Marcel Vogel, David Pond,  Medicine Woman Running Deer, Brett Bravo, Melody.  So many people so many energies.   The Art of making Power Jewelry is:  Finding a Style &  Direction.  Now all I have to do is make something that doesn’t suck.

Rustic Modern Gemstone Jewelry

That brings me to non-corrosive Niobium, Titanium, Gold and now my new favorite, Argentium Sterling Silver.  My collection of  gemstones grow.   I make jewelry for myself and my friends.  My pile of jewelry grows.  I must find a way to sell more jewelry or stop buying gemstones.  I opened my Web Store on ETSY.   Now perfect strangers want to buy gemstone encrusted jewelry.  Oh and the original  Burmese Jade?  The Beads are always with me.   I talk to my gemstones.  I think they are beautiful.  They think I am Beautiful.  Who could argue with that logic?

Rustic Modern Gemstone Designs

As I See I Create

I see the Waxing Moon

Last night I captured the waxing new moon.  This was a chance that has eluded me but I got a kinda good shot.  Good enough to show you the things that inspire me to make a piece of jewelry.  I saw a great design by one of my fellow jewelry designers on ETSY.  Being a competent artist I learned to steal from an early age.  Grab the divine throw it through my senses and out comes an ‘original’ design.

Moonstone & Sunstone Smile Necklace

Moonstone, from the Fabulous Feldspar Family, brings us the Energy to Balance the Changes that bombard our life.  This energy whispers, ‘As it is in the beginning so it is at the end’.  Do You Hope?  Wish?  Do You have Faith?  So do I.  Moonstone confirms these thoughts.  Everyday is a new beginning, we all know it, but the negatives of yesterday drown the promise of each new morning. This design is my way of saying I get the message.

A Smile From God

You are the Sun

You are The Moon

You Are the Stars

You are Everything

I painted this Kanji Watercolor as an echo. The top Kanji is the symbol for Grace the bottom Kanji is the symbol for God.  The placement looks like Grace is on the forehead of God and he ‘sees’ us and Smiles his intentions toward US.  Can’t get enough of this thought.  I am grateful to have glimpsed this and I am grateful to share this with you.

I Never Change Trust Me

Moonstone helps you absorb universal energies and reflects your desires for your life.  This Gemstone helps you with the Ups & Downs life brings you on a daily basis.  A Gemstone for your emotions, it brings loving compassion for all the changes you are going through.  Why did I add the Sunstone?  Sunstone is from the Feldspar family that dissipates stress and increases vitality.   This Gemstone Vibrates to the number One.  It brings the balance of the universe to this Unique Handmade Rustic Modern, Gemstone Encrusted piece of silver jewelry.  I used Sterling Silver because it is able to attract and keep the energies of any gemstone.  It provides a steadying influence on the jewels and enhances the influence of the Moon.  It draws negativity from the body and transfers the positive energy of the gemstones to you.  This metal is a balancing agent for Gemstones.  I use Argentium Sterling Silver because it replaces most of the copper content in 925 with a mineral called Germanium and this alloy makes the tarnish factor less so people who have allergies to copper or nickel are able to wear this Sterling Silver next to their skin.  I hope this gives you an idea of what I think about when I create a piece of jewelry.  My faith is that the person who I created this for will see it and know that it is for them.  (((hugs))):)

Please go to my Web Store and see the Wonderful Designs I have made for you to consider.  Purchase them to encourage me. Thank you.
