The Triangle was an inevitable image choice; I love threes and the asymmetry it brings to any space/situation.
Three/trilogy, a sacred number which “constructive/light side”, presents the vibrations of artistic expression, the joy of living, freedom from worry, optimism, inspiration, talent and imagination. Good taste, sociability, friendliness, kindness.

The Heart, a clear choice as it represents love, most of us are appreciative of what a heart conveys, in our popular culture.

The Circle had to also be included as a major component of all that relates to me, and all I relate to … There is something about it that reminds me of a warrior’s shield. While working with it, I felt a deep/primitive call back to the basic - the genetically encoded “tribal” ways… in the very quiet of the moment I could even hear the rhythmic beat of the drums... or, it was just my heart?

The colours, a favorite progression summon immediatetly Colour and Chakra energies.

The gold, silver and copper leaf icon at the bottom, was placed there to quietly reinforce the larger image/passage/meditation – as a grounding “force”… Gold, being a sacred hue, contributes also its power of illumination, love, self-esteem, courage and passion. Also light, sun – solar magic and fire, as well as prosperity and wisdom. Silver, the Moon Goddess! Copper...

Looks more and more like an online advertising site every day. Ahh the magic world of e-bay and online shopping
So Angel Dust, how's tricks.

Oh yes my dear Q - it does!

Shamelessly and unapologetically.

- I consider this blog an on line studio-gallery with works for sale... as much as AngelDust Creations is for my jewelry.

Got the idea from various other artists that have not set up a website for those purposes yet.
Candidly, life is a journey we all walk the way we need to.

Hope that friends will look past it.

I will also share with you that I cannot afford to have such extravagant a hobby, as much as I love to!
The longer they sit - the more “costly” they become.

Anything outside/above artistic expression is an awful drain to me; a necessary evil at this point - this technology suits me well at the moment

My other blogs cover my varied interests where I share – very often deeply – for free, from myself…

Do forgive me if the response is long winded and somewhat “edgy” – I have worked long-long hours giving myself to them, often in physical pain and with considerable financial investment to let the comment just go… with a chuckle perhaps?

I find the works mean a lot to me and deserves to be treated with respect, starting with myself…

Besides, I am proud of what I have accomplished this past year – all born form me and a product of my efforts – as I said above: Shamelessly and unapologetically.

Love and blessings flowing your way dear Q
