Gearing up for Another "Special Commission!"

avatar

Typically, I don't like to take on "special orders" or "commissions" for other people.

Invariably, things end up going sideways because my vision and someone else's expectations fail to overlap.

It's a little different when such requests/commissions are "in-house."

For example, I created a series of 12 very large and complex "Gateway Stones" for my wife's non-profit organization.

Whereas it was extremely time consuming, it was basically a fun creative challenge with relatively little in the way of expectations.

Latest thing I am going to be working on is the 4th and final stone of a set my wife uses in her Reiki healing practice.

This one might be a little more challenging, since it somewhat taps into the spiritual and metaphysical aspects of Alchemy Stones.

Still, it should be a fun and rewarding challenge to create. Yes, there's definitely a somewhat "defined" format to follow, but I am still looking forward to letting the creativity flow.

Alchemy Stones have always had a strong "otherworldly" component, and even though I don't fully understand how that works, I openly accept that it does.

Working with art that is part intended for spiritual healing work, and part just "regular art" has always been challenging to explain to a wider audience.

Maybe I sometimes worry too much about that "translation," rather than simply trusting the process and having faith in the work finding its way into the places where it needs to be.

It's all a learning process!

Because I am trying to make some semblance of income — a part time living, even — I now add this footer to all my posts, in the hope that someone, somewhere, might decide to take a further look at my work, and perhaps consider supporting independent art.

Thank you, in advance, for your consideration and support!
