MAJIC

Majic is integration, 
synergy of components in constant motion and change. 

Thoughts inhabiting our minds have colors and strength. 

Verbal or mute, they never cease, they keep creating.


Majic began with one single wooden charm, an Ethiopian art.
The face of beauty 


 As work progressed my leading thought was: Each thought is a born spiral, it goes out there in the Ether, bumping, meeting, hooking up with other born spirals, creating new colors, thoughts, ideas....endless motion, never cease.




Majic took about six months to complete.
It got stronger in message with each spiral added. 
As part of my path and practice, 
and as per realizing I can`t always control what comes out of my mind, 
I added "With Harm No One and No Harm Done" 
as well as "So Mote It Be".



Naturally, Phoebe and Mowgli have been a great help as always...




Done


Framed and grouted




Sold.

Broken Plate


One of my greatest joys is to create out of "junk" 
using discarded things.
I`m an avid junk hunter. 
My day is perfect when I come home 
with a car loaded with "awesome garbage". 

Luckily I live among folks who love cooking, 
eating and centering around the kitchen 
as the heart of the home. 
I get endless supply of broken dishes.

Although my work is normally composed with and from multi colors,
this time my piece called for mostly white.


As the work progressed I added some gold and blue 



Add some shells and glass beads and voila!


Somewhat gentle work... called for a rougher edge.


Grouted

 


Finish and Complete
I don`t know who this piece was meant for, 
it is definitely not mine, 
its creation process was different than my norm 
and was very smooth.
Time will tell...
