Cover of the joke file book that’s on its way to the printers.

I just made this cover, as requested, for my long-overdue Joke File Book. We’re sending it in to IPG, and they should have a proof for us within a week or so, after which we’ll be shipping them out to folks who intend to attend my Comedy Workshop series, celebrating the start of WW III.

I’ve been taking a pollen-break, and haven’t made it out of bed until tonight, and that’s only for a short time.

I’m working on books, workshops and ancient materials exhibits, all of which I’m doing mostly in my head, but I have managed to put together a strong presentation of the Objects of Daily Use that were found by Pendlebury in 1935 and 1936 excavations in the City of Akenaten, which is today called “Amarna”.

I’ve prepared hundreds of flips for your use, mostly in the form of black-line mandalas that you can color in, like a miniature coloring book.

You can spend anywhere from a few seconds to a few hours making each one — it’s entirely up to you how you dedicate time to it, but the time DURING the coloration is strictly limited to only thoughts about the mandala, nothing else.

Particularly don’t think of a blue hippopotamus when coloring-in the black & White image I’ve prepared for you to work in.

That’s why I call it the “Blue Hippo Exercise”. Don’t think of a hippopotamus while painting the thing; that’s the whole deal.

I have plans to use this in workshops, not entirely sure how I’ll get them to you in time for a workshop, but I’m working on that issue as we speak.

Well, if I don’t send this off, it might sit here for another week, waiting for me to grab the chance to keep you informed on the goings-on here, so that’s it for the moment, Blessings to you, pass the Blessings on is the secret.

See You At The Top!!!

Yet More Metal Embossing Projects You Can Make & Sell

This Dinosaur Skull is my “take” on T-Rex, but it could just as easily be read as a super closeup of a brontosaurus feeding on the top of a tree — it’s all in the label, in this case, but you could get very good at reducing the elements of a meat-eater predator as opposed to a leaf or branch browser.

Of course, ANY animal will work here, alive or dead, currently in stock or extinct.

You’ll want to sharpen your skills at shapes. Note that the teeth are long and sharp, and very exaggerated, as are the double-circled eyes, bulging out from the top of the skull.

I like to sign these opposite the majority of the “weight”, so in this case, I signed it on the eastern side of the rim, meaning the right side of the image. Continue reading →

More Metal Embossing Craft Projects You Can Make & Sell

My Extra-Terrestrial Alien UFO Flying Saucer Spacecraft is typical of the smaller “Scout Ship” types you see around New Mexico and Arizona. They are piloted by greys, but the larger, flatter steel-gray crafts are from Orion and Sirius.

Of course, there are also trans-dimensionals and trans-time voyagers, plus thousands of species of reptilian and several worldsful of Arcturan visitors.

I’m including this little videoclip in the blog format, in order to underline the fact that I’m not a wild-eyed alien freak, or at least I’m among a growing number of former high ranking government and agency people who are finally starting to talk about the many visitors to Planet Earth, among whom are Canadian Minister of Defence Paul Hellyer, who testified before Parliament that there are more than 80 known species of aliens and that humans are in contact with at least four, and that this is being covered up by an international Cartel that hopes to take over the world with alien technology and with them as rulers.

What is a Healing Mandala?

Before I discuss the Healing Mandala, I’d like to point out that, if you’re planning on entering the spiritual game-field of metal embossing sigils, talismans, pendants, rings, pins, headbands, belts, bolo ties and pocket medallions, you will definitely appreciate knowing the following little factoid:

The 24k solid gold disk at 1.4 grams — which is the ideal weight for the small piece, to allow a reasonable retail price-point — when hammered out with a bit of body still left on it, won’t typically fit on the pin-vise without serious compensation and special mountings.

It’s a total pain in the bazonga to try to carve, even if you do manage somehow to put it into a metal harness, because the retaining pins will block your engraving tool and your fingers, making it nearly impossible to complete any cut into the top surface.

However, a 24k solid gold FOIL disk, which is rolled out, not hammered out, can be easily embossed without mounting on a vise — no vise needed for the foil, and the foil could well be an aluminum craft foil, or solid gold foil. Use your fingers to hold onto it.

Your embossing tool can be controlled with one hand, while the engraving tool simply can’t be. You need your other hand to stop the forward movement of the tool, and to guide it onto the target curve or line or gouge.

Funny thing is, once the gold foil or heavier gold slab is inside the bezel and the protective quartz-glass crystals are in place, you can’t tell whether it’s foil or a thicker beaten-out gold disk. Unless you take the locket apart, the foil gold and the heavier “token” weight gold disk, when viewed inside the locket, look exactly the same. Continue reading →
