FEERIEE 13

 I have been preparing a rustic bead soup for my friend Solange from  YeeLen Spirit Designs  and it's finally ready! My ingredients:  ~ Rustic polymer art beads ~ Every bead is one of a kind, I rarely make them in pairs because I love experimenting. ~ Metal findings ~ A pair of metal elements from a vintage Native American belt, a vintage kuchi pendant, a set of fancy ear wires, hammered copper components, rhinestone spacers, religious art findings. ~ Yellow african glass beads, coral bead, two artisan ceramic beads from N. Carolina, that I've painted with alcohol inks. ~ More African glass beads, two small green trade beads, purple beans (!!), Lapis lazuli, long wooden  organic beads, african terracotta beads, vintage white and blue flowers ceramic beads, bone beads and some tribal bead caps.  That's the whole yumi bead soup, I really hope she'll like it. Bad pictures taken with my not-so-smart phone because I lost my usb memo...

Maybe we're trying to not get attached to the idea that we now know it all.     At night, we see the truth of where we've fallen from, gazing in that night sky full of distant stars, constellations, planets, the reflection of the Sun on the Moon, all with their own stories to tell.   Sometimes we wonder why would we leave such a mysterious place, with an infinite amount of stories and wonders.  Maybe it's because as stars we could've only seen each other's light from ...

Ancient maps written on the sky Faraway lands had been bridged together A mysterious order A Universe marvelously arranged The symphony of the Cosmos The orchestra of the planets On the timeline of Eternity  The pure Self  Part earth and sea, wind and fire  Whispering the syllable of life  Infinite and connected  All at the same time. These amazing images are from   NASA . How lucky we are to be able to see such beauty! So inspiring! Poem and earrings by yours truly. See you soon! Laura xoxo
