Oh man, this is becoming one hell of a project. We’re mid-way through the Ms right now, and trying to get through the rest as quickly as possible while still getting things right. Research is never as quick as you want it to be if you’re doing it right. We’re…
Creative Writing Exercise: Create a story based on a common item nearby (zipper) *** Zapper the Zipper was a zestful little Zipper. All Zippers were zestful, but Zapper was more so than most. When this Zipper was zero, the age before naming, he found something fun. He found that if…
Creative Writing Exercise: Name one food (broccoli), one common item (stickers) and a color (blue). Write a short story based on these things. *** Once upon a time there was a field. Growing in this field was a most interesting plant. The plant was blue broccoli. It was a lovely…
There is a darkness. It envelops. It consumes. It is everywhere. It swallows the minds of all it touches. It washes over them like black rain, drenching them in its emptiness. They do not see it. They are woefully unaware. They carry on their lives, the darkness eating away at…
That box of beads gave me the inspiration to make eight beaded cross necklaces. I just finished listing the last of them today. I think the jewelry I produced from this is quite nice. No matter what kind of materials I have, I try to make the best possible products…
Everywhere I look there is magic. The birth of a child, the blossoming of a flower. The forming of snowflakes, the eruption of a volcano. The love of a mother, the ferocity of a predator. All this is magic, just of the sort not controlled by men, but by nature.…
It took longer than I thought it would, but I made two wallpapers today. This isn’t exactly what I had originally envisioned, but I’m really happy with the way it came out. I currently have it as my desktop wallpaper. It’s meant to represent people sharig loving energy with each…
I had a bit of an interesting dream-like moment that I want to share with all of you. You see, I don’t just dream at night. I can let go of my mind sometimes during the day and things just float in. Sometimes it’s mental clutter that I have to…
I’ve decided to run a giveaway this month. The prize is going to be that gorgeous handcrafted japa mala in the photo. A japa mala is a string of 108 beads used to count repetitions of a chant or affirmation while meditating. Commonly used by Bubbhists, japa mala strands have…
Last night I decided that I didn’t want to sit in front of the television, so I went to try some art instead. I haven’t created a new piece in quite some time and I wasn’t sure if I could make anything good after so long. I’m amazed at what…
I wake. Darkness penetrates, existing even before consciousness takes hold. Pushing, stabbing, talking in circles, it demands attention. See me! Hear me! Feel me! Like an insolent child it whines and stomps unseen feet of hate. Pounding fists against my mind it demands notice. I breathe. Deep and slow. Inhale……
This is another piece that I did using a piece of my art as inspiration. I think I ought to get back into doing this. I need a way to get my creative juices flowing, so why not use my own art? I thought it was a great idea before,…
The following is a short story I wrote last year based on some images that I created (shown above). I was looking for some inspiration and decided to try to write little stories to go along with some of my artwork. ———– Once upon a time, in a land called…
