    … a change of pace today with the day spent creating a piece of jewelry from scratch for a friend … the photo above shows the nearly completed opal in black jade pendant … just a little cleanup to do and then it is finished. So I had the design floating around in my mind and today I finally put it into a real piece of fine neck wear.

    The photo next below shows the large piece of Wyoming black jade that I started with. Black jade isn’t really black, it is a highly over saturated green jade and the trimmings all come out s muddy green. Below that shot is the piece I trimmed off of the large piece and which is the approximate size of the finished piece of jewelry.

    Next it was time to give it an approximate shape of what I was thinking about and the next photo shows the roughed out piece … I had decided to carve the bale of the pendant and the keel looking thing is the roughed out bale (what the chain goes through. Below that is a photo of me piercing it with a 2mm bit to begin the process of carving the bale. and the last photo below shows the roughed out pendant . Still to go, the cleanup, final shaping and setting the opal which happens to be high quality gem opal from the Mintabe opal fields in Australia.

    Filled with dreams and songs and love, I wander
    afield.

    Meditation, softened by the peaceful lands of grain and
    the illimitable blue sea overhead, draws my heart to
    my lips as one whose talent is in song.

    I yield to the thousand felicities of this transport, like a
    child led by his father’s hand; and no questions darken
    this day of my content.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
