Now part of a public land trust, this area was cleared in the 19th century, and used for sheep farming. There was a poor farm located nearby. I grew up practically in the shadow of this hill, although I was well into my teens before I had any inkling about its colorful past.
I feel a deep and lasting connection to this area, and try to visit at least once a year. That usually entails at least one hike through here or nearby locations.
I recently revisited a batch of photos I shot in May 2016, and re-processed this one using Perfectly Clear.
I love Camilla. I bought her this ring as a token of my appreciation of her. I also asked her to marry me: She said yes!
A 13 cm piece of rose quartz I dug up in Norway, Maine. The color fades in sunlight so the deepest pink quartz is found beneath the surface.
The chunk of rose quartz that lives beneath my computer screen and is supposed to absorb harmful rays. Just to be quirky and add more textures I stood it on the brim of my pink straw hat, with a pink fabric rose in the foreground.

Tiny bits of pink rose quartz and blue-black mineral dust paint sections of Nauset Light Beach with stretches of beautiful purple sand.
This purple color tends to occur after heavy wave action that washes the lighter bits of beige and yellow sand away.

Some new stones that I am excited about using soon. Most of them will end up in rings. Stones are a good way to add color to metal.

This month's theme is fairy tales.
November 17 - Beauty and the Beast
Having watched the Disney version of Beauty and the Beast when my sister was young and then again when my kids were little, I always remember the ballroom dancing scene. Here is an alternate dancefloor for the scene to play out.
This was a commissioned piece by a customer requesting rose quartz. The chain is hand-wrought sterling.
Meet Momo and Misa, my two Pureneemo Sahra :3 They both had originally long hair, but I wanted them to have shorter hair so I cut them a little bit. Momo's hair is now a short bob, while Misa's is shoulder-length. I might cut Misa's hair a bit more at some point, but for now I'm quite happy with the way it looks.
Originally I was only planning to keep Misa and bought the standard version of Rose Quartz Sahra just to get my hands on the outfit, but seeing her in person I couldn't part with her after all ^^; So, now I'm going to have three Sahra sisters - the third one is the lavender-haired Nostalgic Story version, which I'm still waiting for... These three sisters form a cute idol unit called Usagi M ^w^
I also posted a box opening for these two on my blog~
"Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle,
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes."
The Beetles ~ 1967
I'd originally intended for these earrings to be part of a set with my necklace called "Lucy in the Sky with (Black) Diamonds" but as with life's unexpected twists and turns, I've only just managed to complete them now :)
An exuberant celebration of life and all its colours (be they vivid and effervescent or dark and gritty), A Girl With Kaleidoscope Eyes is d-r-a-m-a personified.
Seemingly identical, each side of these dramatic danglers is a wee bit different, just for kicks!!
The right side is a circlet of glowing Moonstone Rondelles, framing an inner rim of Pink Tourmaline, just perfectly. A waterfall of Moonstones trickles towards Andalusite, Genuine Burmese Rubies, another tier of Andalusites, a subtle accent of Rose Quartz followed by a ruffle of more Burmese Rubies ... with all these petite pretties leading to an absolutely DECADENT AAA Polished Smokey Quartz Briolette set with an exquisite Pink Sapphire, in an 18K Solid Yellow Gold Bezel.
To the left, a similar circlet debuts but in a reversed line-up of gems with Pink Tourmalines outlining the frame as Moonstones dot the inner circumference. Draping downwards is a similar waterfall of gems showcasing Moonstones, Andalusites, Genuine Burmese Rubies, a touch of Rose Quartz, more Andalusites and a final layer of Burmese Rubies. And, of course, a final sumptuous Smokey Quartz Briolette featuring a second, beautiful Pink Sapphire. Magnificent. Simply magnificent.
Overflowing with feminine wiles, these earrings are sure to turn you into a giggling little ballerina.
Here we have a richly ornate pair of stud earrings. The ear-posts were constructed of sterling silver wire and tiny sterling beads. They were fashioned in a tiny version of my "Nautilus" pendant. The stunning gems are checker-cut, Madagascar rose quartz pear-shaped briolettes. To compliment them is a cluster of lustrous pink pearls---very feminine and romantic.
They have been oxidized to highlight the wire-work and then hand-buffed to a matte finish.
All metals used are sterling silver.
Measurement: 1 3/8 inches from the posts to the bottom of briolettes
Weight: 4 grams per earring
