'...with intention' 2012
know your materials:
clay thai amulet... i have finally found these locally, i have such resistance to buying them online... if i am using them as authentic amulets, i do not want fakes in my work...
tibetan double terminated quartz crystal that has a beautiful iridescence inside... not a herkimer diamond - they are double terminated quartz crystals as well, but are mined only around herkimer, ny, usa... i wanted the tibetan quartz here...
red thread refers to a chinese proverb -
'an invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet regardless of time, place or circumstance. the thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break.'
gemstones are beautiful for color, but they are also believed to have metaphysical properties... you can enhance a piece by imbuing them with the power of certain stones...
i have pages of text in sanskrit - it is beautiful to look at... but i won't use it in my resin work because i do not know what it says... i believe strongly that your choices affect the energy of a piece...
what are some of the details that you find to be important?
and please stop by art saves curated by barbara lewis this week... today she features past posts from staci's and my blogs...
i know that art has saved me over and over - how has it affected your life?
