John's Gems

John has been back at work on his jewlery, this week with bracelets. He tries to offer a variety of sizes, including those for the larger wrist which are sometimes difficult to find. Many of his designs are unisex, but soon you will be seeing a special assortment specifically for Men.

Charlei The Spirit Beat Drummer

Charlei the Spirit Beat Drummer

Charlei is one of the Spirit Beat Clan. Traveling the world and popping in on Drum Circles is her passion. She loves to help others in learning the different beats that can be used, and teaching the benefits of the drumming to all. When Charlei is near, you can always hear the faint heartbeat of her drum, reminding you of the old ways, the earth ways, the connection with Spirit and each other.

I am but One Woman...

While watching the telethon this evening to raise funds for the Gulf Oil Spill.....

"I am but One Woman
who's mind races to find the answers,
who's heart  feels larger than the sun, And
who's spirit embraces every fragile being.
This Wounded Warrior that resides in my soul
grieves at the news of sadness,
weeps when she sees the tears, And
mourns when she can't rush to hold the hand or soothe the pain.
I am but One Woman
tucked away in my corner of the world
Feeling helpless in the very little bits that I can do.

But..I can paint the healing I wish for the world,
I can sculpt that which I wish to create,
I can pray that Spirit will heal the delicate, And
I can help illuminate by sharing and joining in the collective of like minds who cherish this Earth we live upon.
I am but One Woman
who knows when we join hands... that we can and do... change the world.

Art for Wildlife Images

Recently we were commissioned by Wildlife Images, a wonderful non-profit organization that rehabs  animals,  to create some pieces that focused on the animals that they help for their gallery.
Here are just a few samples of the work that was designed. We encourage you to visit and support  Wildlife Images if you are near the area.

Inspiration for Today

Honor the Sacred.

Honor the Earth, our Mother.

Honor the Elders.

Honor all with whom we

share the Earth:-

Four-leggeds, two-leggeds,

winged ones,

Swimmers, crawlers,

plant and rock people.

Walk in balance and beauty.

Art for the Wildlife of the Gulf Oil Spill

"I am deeply concerned for the wildlife that is currently, and who will be in the future ,effected by the Gulf Oil

Spill. In my effort to do something to try and help, I have created Animal Totem Stones of some of the partiuclar animals that may suffer from this spill. Proceeds from the sale of these totem stones will be sent to the National Wildlife Federation to assist in their efforts.As individuals our efforts may seem small, but when we join together we can make great strides."
