Bracelet Blue Gray Copper / Bluemoon Beads

 Here is a simple bracelet that is easy to make.
Spring is coming and my tiny bird wrists feel lonely.
Now that I am going to be sleeveless for the rest of the seasons,
I thought I would better prepare myself. 
These colors and gems did the trick.

Earrings Tentacle style/ Bluemoon Beads

I made these simple earrings out of a few blue moon beads.
Octopus a cephalopod mollusc of the order Octopoda.
They remind me of tentacles.
All I did was take wire and bend it through the three loops.
Add seed beads then curl the ends with round nose pliers. 

The end result was these cute earrings.

Poetry Slam New and Old

A decade of poetry. Its been flowing through me this last week. I used to use the internet to outlet my feelings. I guess today is no different. You can blame my dreams.


Old: 2003 - 2004 Valley High Literary magazine page 23. Art Work: Tristen Ervin



New: 2-3-13
 Reflections shine full
Stardust smiles at me through the fog
I saw into your window
all intentions and energies all in one wave
shallow plexie glass
a flash of truth
I expected more than just that 
scene from a horror movie
lost expectations a must 
in god I dont trust
Dont expect just lust
~Athena Mansfield
