Made It To Malta

So I've been doing this blog for about four months. It's interesting to see the extent of my reach.

All Time

I'd go live in St. Martin or Malta

Back To Foundations

I'll be back at crafting my designs of wood and gems in about 1 hour. I have a backlog that won't quit. I'm happy. Turning and shaping is where I belong



























Composition of Wavelengths: Other Work For These Past Months


 Composition of Wavelengths. Pleasurable Duality of warm and cool, bass and flute (Acrylic on Plywood)

Blue Moon Squad
Blue Moon: not the second full moon of the month, rather the 13th full moon in a year. It actually comes from "belew moon" meaning the betrayer moon. It messed up calculations for determining the Lenten Moon, thus the calendar date for Easter each year. The moon's cycle is about 29-1/2 days, not the average 30-5/12 that the julian calendar holds per month.

Small unit leadership in the military is based on one person being in charge of three people. A fireteam is the smallest unit. There is a rifleman (scout), automatic rifleman (gunner), assistant automatic rifelman (a-gunner), and team leader. There are three fireteams in a quad. Thus, fundamentally a squad has 13 persons. (There may be some additional personal, but 13 is the basic structure)

Implications of this piece were all thought about afterwards. It has a duality of feminine (moon and cycles) and masculine (hunters). Meanwhile, I just made something with things on hand. I had a homemade "jenga" and a can of blue spray paint to make these triliths

Bizarro Still Life. Stifling my creativity like sculptris

Commonalities in Compositions Becoming apparent:



Pushing Puddles of Turquoise over Copper. Opals in Wood









Figurative Work and Virtual Crafting Equals

an unhappy boy. These two things can be my kryptonite. I am a creator not a replicator.

I posit that I can replicate, however it is the infinite or the infinitesimal. It's probably because my eyesight is so good that I get stuck in the fine details or distant bodies in the heavens. They both take shape of simpler and purer geometries. Or it could be that I'm just stuck in the abstract notions of existence within my mind, constructing galaxies or colonies of atoms. I don't understand the face or even the hand. Virtually, I am blind for anything that exists between one foot and one mile from my face. It may appear self-absorbed, and it is I suppose. I prefer to call it a residence in oblivion aware of things unseen.




Bracelet Mandrels Color Renders

Different colors for my bracelet mandrels. I have to get back to work on my own designs. These new tools will help

Cloisonne to simulate my wood and gem jewelry. Patinated Copper Omamori pendant. I designed it to have the inserts interchangeable. These could be enamel or wood with gems.
