This fractal amazed me as it took on the shape of a sword…I added another fractal to create the golden haze around it and couldn’t help but connect it to the scripture below :-) ‘Above all taking the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. / And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God’ / Ephesians 5:16,17

Traveling on his way, the Fool first encounters a Magician. Skillful, self-confident, a powerful Magus with the infinite as a halo floating above his head, the Magician mesmerizes the Fool. When asked, the Fool gives over his bundled pack and stick to the Magician. Raising his wand to heaven, pointing his finger to Earth, the Magician calls on all powers; magically, the cloth of the pack unfolds upon the table, revealing its contents. And to the Fool’s eyes it is as if the Magician has created the future with a word. There are all the possibilities laid out, all the directions he can take. The cool, airy Sword of intellect and communication, the fiery Wand of spirituality and ambition, the overflowing Chalice of Love and emotions, the solid Pentacle of work, possessions and body. With these tools, the Fool can create anything, make anything of his life. But here’s the question, did the Magician create the tools, or were they already in the pack? Only the Magician knows – and on this mystery, our eloquent mage refuses to say a word. At #1, the Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud (“And God said ‘Let there be Light!’ and there was Light”). / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- / To read more go to this site

History of Jewelry As decorative objects, jewelry is usually made of platinum, gold, silver and other precious metals often set with precious and semi precious stones. Jewelry is also made from various non-precious materials like glass, corals, wood, enamels, ceramics, bronze, copper, lead, gun metal, fedders and bone fragments. Since prehistoric times, jewelry has been worn by women and men on many parts of the body including the neck, head, wrists, waist, fingers, ankles, nose and ears. Archeology provides us with significant information on the jewelry of ancient times. For ancient Egyptians the most popular ornaments were signet rings, elbow bracelets, diadems, necklaces and bracelets made of stone or glass beads. The jewelry articles found in burial tombs provide us with vast information on the history of jewelry making in ancient times. The most important finding – Tutankhamen’s tomb discovered by Howard Carter – was filled with hundreds of priceless objects of egyptian art. In the burial tombs of Mesopotamia and the Near East, dated thousands of years BC, archeologists have discovered large quantities of jewelry made of gold and silver – rings, earrings, pendants, crowns and diadems. The similarities in design and style to Egyptian art, found in different parts of Mesopotamia and Persia, points to undeniable evidence of the interaction and trade between people in this part of the world.In the same period and until 400 BC Greek and Roman jewelry showing striking similarities – rings, earrings and necklaces were made using chains or wire links, with thin foil formed into leafs and ornaments. Stampato was often used as well as enamels. In later periods, mosaic was widely used in jewelry such as brooches, pins and bracelets. Gold coins connected together to form necklaces were common in Greece and Italy, as well as cameos of sea shells and corals. During the Etruscan period 700 and 500 BC, most of the jewelry was imported by Mediterranean merchants. Stampato articles were the main element which was later refined by Etruscan craftsmen to a higher degree.During the medieval period jewelry continued to exhibit the Roman artistic tradition with some regional variations. Articles made of precious and semi-precious metals were often inlaid with thin sliced colored gems, especially garnets. Enamels, the animal motif and the cloisonne tradition began to reappear in various parts of the continent. The most popular types of jewelry during this period were brooches, pendants and pins of religious motifs, mainly crosses inlaid with gems, enamels and pearls. Emblems increasingly became an important addition to a woman’s dress. Jewelry continued to evolve during the Renaissance period of the 15th-17th century and began to establish itself as one of the most important parts of fashionable clothing. The jewelry of this period is characterized by rich gamma and distinct classical architectural elements. Enamels, pearls and precious gems of different shapes began to play a much more important role in jewelry fashion. In the 17th and 18th Centuries, diamond jewelry became popular and jewelry began to express changing trends in fashion. The popularity of diamonds was on the rise thanks to the invention of a revolutionary new stone setting technique – the prong setting, which multiplies the brilliancy of a diamond. At the same time, along with precious metals other metals such as gun metal, cast iron, copper or melhior (german silver) were used in jewelry manufacturing. Engraving and stampato, along with gems and multicolor inlaid gold, were often used in mass production. Sets comprising a tiara, ring, earrings, and necklace or pendant became an important part of a woman’s outfit. At the end of the 19th century, jeweled accessories became very popular. Small snuffboxes, jewelry boxes, perfume bottles, watch cases, dresser accessories (combs, mirrors, brushes, scissors, etc., often finished with enamels), mother of pearl and egg-shell pieces were manufactured in Europe by artists such as Carl Fabergé. The beginning of the 20th century was characterized by the beginning of a new era in jewelry making. René Lalique, the French glass and jewelry designer, perfected the art nouveau movement first invented by Louis Comfort Tiffany. René Lalique’s stunning creations which featured nature themes using semiprecious gems, plick-ajour enamel, carved ivory and colored glass, are displayed in many museums throughout the world. At the same time, state of the art objects made of sterling silver began to emerge throughout Europe and the United States. In the 1920’s, Art Deco, another popular movement, was introduced in France. Art Deco incorporated geometric shapes not only in jewelry, but also in many aspects of decorative art.

mixed media watercolor wash, oil/Acrylic on paper Strathmore 300g/m2 / Featured in First Things group / This is a piece inspired by the drive to not give up. I started this as a watercolor, did not like the outcome. I then painted the vase with oil. And still did not like the arrangement but I liked the vase. So I repainted the flowers with a golden acrylic to simulate metal flowers. I then re-painted the background (in acryilic) to suit the composition. -Ben

Cottages at the end of a lane in Wanlockhead, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. High in the Lowther Hills to the west of the M74, Wanlockhead is Scotland’s highest village at 467m (1531 ft). It owes its existence to the lead, gold and other minerals found under the surrounding countryside. These mineral deposits were probably first exploited by the Romans and from the 1200s they were being worked again by groups of miners who gathered here each summer. The first permanent settlement appeared in about 1680, when the Duke of Buccleuch built a lead smelting plant and workers’ cottages that could be occupied all year round. Although lead was for many centuries the mainstay of the village’s economy, it was not the only mineral found here. What became known as “God’s Treasure House” also produced zinc, copper, silver and gold. Some of the world’s purest gold, at 22.8 carats, was found locally and used in the Regalia of the Scottish Crown. Today’s Wanlockhead depends primarily on tourism. The Southern Upland Way long distance footpath passes through the village, but the main attraction for the motoring tourist revolves around the village’s industrial past.

Drew this for a self-portrait contest. This is also my first ever self-portrait, beyond a couple of exercises in art classes when I was younger. I obviously took some liberties here ;) I didn’t get some aspects of the portrait quite right (the nose and the chin are not quite right for example, and I have a much paler skin tone), but this is perhaps how I would look in another reality ;) Mixed media on heavy textured purple watercolor paper (Canson). Original measures 19×12.5” Featured on the Home Page. September 5th 2009. View more of my artwork at www.lynnetteshelley.com
