We saw him again the next day.

[...] True thoughts have duration in themselves. If the thoughts endure, the seed is enduring; if the seed endures, the energy endures; if the energy endures, then will the spirit endure. The spirit is thought; thought is the heart; the heart is the fire; the fire is the Elixir [...]

-- Quote by Albert Pike (American Lawyer, Journalist and Soldier, 1809-1891)

Took some photos of Visual Magick’s Hexed And Perplexed : Elixir Kobold Mod. These mods come with ears and animated eyes! You can see them move on their marketplace page when you click Watch it in Action under the photo. I probably could have taken better photos of the mod but I really liked this windlight and setting. marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Visual-Magick-Kobold-Hexed-A...

Not as easy as it looks! And she's not really an amputee either!

Philosopher’s stone, in alchemy ( from al kamya an arabic concept) is an unknown substance, also called “the tincture” or “the powder,” sought by alchemists for its supposed ability to transform base metals into precious ones, especially gold and silver. Alchemists also believed that an elixir of life could be derived from it. Inasmuch as alchemy was concerned with the perfection of the human soul, the philosopher’s stone was thought to cure illnesses, prolong life, and bring about spiritual revitalization.

The 8th-century Muslim alchemist Jabir ibn Hayyan (Latinized as Geber) analyzed each classical element in terms of the four basic qualities. Fire was both hot and dry, earth cold and dry, water cold and moist, and air hot and moist. He theorized that every metal was a combination of these four principles, two of them interior and two exterior. From this premise, it was reasoned that the transmutation of one metal into another could be affected by the rearrangement of its basic qualities. This change would presumably be mediated by a substance, which came to be called al-iksir in Arabic (from which the Western term elixir is derived). It is often considered to exist as a dry red powder (also known as al-Kibrit al-Ahmar الكبريت الأحمر—red sulphur) made from a legendary stone—the philosopher's stone.

Jabir's theory was based on the concept that metals like gold and silver could be hidden in alloys and ores, from which they could be recovered by the appropriate chemical treatment. Jabir himself is believed to be the inventor of aqua regia, a mixture of muriatic (hydrochloric) and nitric acids, one of the few substances that can dissolve gold (and which is still often used for gold recovery and purification).[citation needed]

In the 11th century, there was a debate among Muslim world chemists on whether the transmutation of substances was possible. A leading opponent was the Persian polymath Avicenna (Ibn Sina), who discredited the theory of transmutation of substances, stating, "Those of the chemical craft know well that no change can be effected in the different species of substances, though they can produce the appearance of such change."

According to legend, the 13th-century scientist and philosopher Albertus Magnus is said to have discovered the philosopher's stone and passed it to his pupil, Thomas Aquinas, shortly before his death circa 1280. Magnus does not confirm he discovered the stone in his writings, but he did record that he witnessed the creation of gold by "transmutation"

Closeup shot of water bubbles in a wine glass like a refreshing red drink. Extreme close lighting with red filter on flash. Foil reflector used at the back and leftside to light the bubbles inside.

Due to a good balance in water inlet speed and shutter speed, the texture reminds of Jel-Candles with air bubbles.

Water is life's mater and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water.....

poleras..

Yet another un-inspirational day today.. must be the heat and humidity that has really deflated me.. and there was no way I was going to take another flower shot today..!!!

So, took the kids to park after dinner hoping I'd find something good to shoot. Just then, the ice cream truck arrived and actually it was my daughter who asked if I had taken my shot of the day.. when I said I hadn't, she readily agreed to let me take pics of her.. and to my surprised, my son didn't mind it either... must've been the popsicle that did the trick.. :-) Hey, I got my shot and didn't have to quit.

Thanks all.

I'm not at all sure I've done justice to Georgie's achingly beautiful beads here. I actually felt guilty teaming them with my lowly polymer clay beads, but the colours matched so perfectly! Ah well, I can always break it down and try again! Lampwork glass, polymer clay, crystals, magatamas (yay for magatamas!) and silver.
