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.

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

I love that big ass amethyst. So freakin cool. Everything you make is amazing. I love sportin' my Fanci jewels.
Seriously ? I want them ! ^^
Lot of things in your mind... so colorful !
Hi, ;)
I hope I finally am first to comment! How can you not love your giveaway earrings? They would look fabulous with my long hair!
The re~working of the jewels for your client is amazing. WOW! Love the look. The rings and pendants with the raw crystals are making me go hhhmmmm with the hundreds of stones in our house. Thanks for sharing!
Alright alright! Honestly those earrings are just right for at least a thousand women. However if you haven't given them away yet, consider for a moment that you should have a gift in return. I have in my non internet collection a pair of hmong hilltribe perfectly rusted by life, other worldly buttons and a few other goodies you might just love. Thats if you are interested. Other wise I'll just go on as usual enjoying your blog as I always have.
All Best...
everyone needs a patroness...if you tire of her send her my way.
Hi!
I want to tell you why i love your stuff.
i'd ox one of the rings. I think the purple and black and gold would look fantastic. Too much gold. Hmm worth experimenting with at least one i think.
and please! stop showing so much hand skin! hahah
That first pic, it makes my lady parts have a coronary. TO THE MAX.
I've finally had holes put in my lugs...I was so hard core, I didn't even flinch. It's probably because of years of manual labour and 2 kids, I'm now completely numb! Love those big chunks of purple gemstone (can't spell that A word).
imna totally have to stop ogling for a moment just to say that you and Lisa were made for each other.(In ingles: GIRL, PLEASE! it's not just the ox!) What a cool story. Very inspiring.
Hi!
Love the amethyst pendants. So all the color on the base is from these polymer clay foils? Cool.
So pretty-as always!!
I'm loving your rings too :)
Your pieces with chunk Amethyst are pure delight, specially the earrings were sold.Oh!!!!!!!!!!!
I want these earrings, I want! Send them to me or send me to them, we will be a perfect match! HA!!!
hugs Fanci!

“Nothing can be given or taken away; nothing has been added or subtracted; nothing increased or diminished. We stand on the same shore before the same mighty ocean. The ocean of love. There it is - in perpetuum. As much in a broken blossom, the sound of a waterfall, the swoop of a carrion bird as in the thunderous artillery of the prophet.
We move with eyes shut and ears stopped; we smash walls where doors are waiting to open to the touch; we grope for ladders, forgetting that we have wings; we pray as if God were deaf and blind, as if He were in a space. No wonder the angels in our midst are unrecognizable.
One day it will be pleasant to remember these things.”
― Henry Miller
Nope, I never get to wear anything freaky trendy. I want too! And by the way - send me your normal addy...this isn't a bribe but I run across some interesting goodies that just scream your name.
so, i'm wondering why you don't love them... maybe they aren't as dark as you usually go? but then you have some colorful pieces, so that's prob not it.
your work if pretty freaking cool and I'm not the only one that thinks so, lucky girl with a patroness who loves your work enough to have you change what she thought she liked before she discovered your personal view of coolness!
please throw my name into the hat, thank you kindly.
Did the stones in the first one come from the P? I really want those. Lots and lots of those. ;) I love the bezel loops, too. Gorg! OMG! Love!
I guess you already know that you are an original artist with an original eye. And I hope that you know that you are fabulous. Please enter my name in for a chance to win on this giveaway. Awesome discovery you are!! I'm off to find the 'follow' button now...*smiles* Norma
Lurve the giveaway earrings!
I'm having a give away too. Must be something in the water....
Xo
I like your works. Beutiful!
Love it all but those A pendants are to die for!
Love it all but those A pendants are to die for!
I've got some of that foil stuff too because I knew it would be more useful than just for PC. I had forgotten I had it, thanks for the reminder! :)
