A man ambushed a stone. Caught it.
Made it a prisoner.
Put it in a dark room and stood guard over it for the rest of his life.
His mother asked why.
He said, because it's held captive, because it is captured.
Look, the stone is asleep, she said, it does not know whether it's in a garden or not. Eternity and the stone
are mother and daughter; it is you who are getting old. The stone is only sleeping.
But I caught it, mother, it is mine by conquest, he said.
A stone is nobody's, not even its own. It is you who are conquered; you are minding the prisoner, which is yourself,
because you are afraid to go out, she said.
Yes yes, I am afraid, because you have never loved me, he said.
Which is true, because you have always been to me as the stone is to you, she said.
Russell Edson
Mother of Light, and the Gods! Mother of Music, awake!
Silence and speech are at odds; Heaven and Hell are at stake.
By the Rose and the Cross I conjure;
I constrain by the Snake and the Sword;
I am he that is sworn to endure -Bring us the word of the Lord!
from The Interpreter by Aleister Crowley

I wait for thee, my soul distraught
With aching for some nameless naught
In its most arcane crypt-
Am I not fit to endure thee?
...
Thou whose mouth is a flame
With its seven-edged sword proceeding,
Come! I am writhing with despair
Like a snake taken in a snare,
Moaning thy mystical name
Till my tongue is torn and bleeding!
Have I not gilded my nails
And painted my lips with vermillion?
Yea! thou art I; the deed awakes,
Thy lightening strikes; thy thunder breaks
Wild as the bride that wails
In the bridegroom's plumed pavillion!
from Ave Adonai by Aleister Crowley

Ahh, that is some sweet sweet candy for sure. Lovin that tiny Charlotte with the key clock top. Say what you will about old keys, I know they have been done a lot but I still love them, and of course when Fanci includes one they are cool all over again, lol
Will be checking the dollarbead out cuz ya know you can always use a little more ;) My personal cheap beads weapon of choice is Mass O' Glass available on the bottom shelf of your local Michael's Craft store. 12 oz. Mix of beads for $3.99. Made in India. When you open the container they smell musty and are dirty......Heaven!! Some still have old eye pins left in them. They are probably mostly recycled, they are amazing.
Word: I’d be *very* concerned about giving credit card information to a site with no valid SSL.
Click on the Comodo tag in the lower right-hand corner of the DollarBead.com website. It says
“IdAuthority credentials are not available for this site.” It appears that DollarBead.com is
using Comodo’s security logo without providing customers with that security. Further evidence:
their account registration page doesn’t have an {https://} in the URL line. (I’d report more,
but one cannot get to the checkout page without registering.)
Not a ton of stuff eyecandy is good - able to peruse and take it all in, unlike tons of stuff where ya eyes glaze and eventually the head rotates.
This selection is gewd full of nickable ideas.
Bah on dollarbeads.com coz they don't like us for-un-errs and refuse overseas shipping the beady goodness .
I paid dollarbead using paypal. No problems whatsoever and everything arrived perfectly. They even refunded me for a strand that was out of stock--no problem there either. Highly recommended site and beads. (Using paypal. I suppose a credit card might be a different story with the dynamics mentioned.)
And looks like those clay ones are 50 cents a strand now...
I love the horse hair...reminds me i need to finish a necklace I'm making from on old typewriter eraser...
been too busy making bling lately to do much of anything else...I miss the non- bling...but anyway, thank you for mentioning me here...ONCE AGAIN! You are too kind. Your blog is always so fun...mine feels like "MEH" lately...better come up with something interesting to say i imagine...
anyway, I've missed you! xoxoxoxo
Arse.. posted on wrong post, loving new stuff etc, etc, see other post for details! Arse again they don't ship internationally.
I'm gonna repeat myself here. Love all of your post-tute creativity! Everything you've been making is wonderful! The necklaces are truly fantastic! Keep it coming please. Another tute. Another round of great jewelry.....another.......
Love the sweet, tiny charlotte pendant. And those tin piece have my heart skidding sideways and every which way. Lovely!!!!!
What's utee? And yes, I do live in a cave, if you're asking. And the cave does not have utee.
Have a great week!
I have purchased a one pound bead mix from this Etsy seller and it was a nice mix of beads and they mail internationally.

LOve the new eye candy.
Love your new work.As to worrying about the lives of your fellow travelers you could write up a page saying you are not responsible for us. I do not expect you to be blamed for anything that could happen to me. I was waiting for this issue to come up. Let's make this trip as we are joining together to travel and make jewelry. Lori
So in love with what you do with tin. I think I need to get more creative and grungify my pieces more. I particularly love the inventive use of the key and the bottle. Keys are my crack! ;-)
Enjoy the day!

Well, I've obviously missed a million posts while I've been stuck in clay cave again - ugh. I'm sure there was a time when i could do two things at once! hey ho. Love these new neckpieces - they look like classic fanci. Just been picking up the thread of your mind boggling group visit. The pictures will be quite something!!!
i agree with Janet.....your creations after a tute are amazing. i checked out dollar beads and love the artisan mixes....would definitely use paypal. thank you to altered archeology for the tip on mass o' glass at michaels. i will definitely be checking that out.....love beads from India.
I have to wonder...how you can get such ugly beads and make them look good?! If I used any of those beads all I would see in the piece is that one bead, screaming LOOK AT ME I'M CHEAP AND BORING. Maybe it's just their photos. Maybe it's cause they're a dollar, you are blind to anything else, and then whatever turns up in your hands turns to gold anyway so yeah. I should just shut-up and go to bed.
Many of the beads I've gotten from Dollar Bead are some of my absolute favorite beads. Big cane furnace glass tube nuggets, impossibly iridescent little grey sugar glass, the teeniest wedding cake lampwork rondelles, bright red evil eye beads--all very non-commercial feeling, unusual, and very imperfect/rustic. Their photos do suck, but maybe I just have boring taste...
