Well, my muse seems to have returned.  I’m not sure what she/he is trying to tell me.  I have two new designs ready to be beaded. The picture above is a brick stitch bracelet based on a Native American symbol called an Ojo de Dios, eye of God.  A shape representing the sun and its rays is positioned on each side of the eye and the rays are split by a lightening bolt. The bracelet is designed in earth tones.

The second design is a pendant representing  Janus, the Roman God.  He is the God of gates, doors, and hallways.  Having two faces looking in opposite directions he can look forward into the future, and backward to the past.  Some sources say one face is the face of Hermes, the other the face of Athena. The pendant will be finished with fringe, which I hope I can shade in to look like a draped Roman toga.

As I looked at these newest designs, I thought what’s up with eyes?  Do I need to open mine?  One design signifying the eye of God always watching over us, the other a mythical Roman deity who sees, if not all, at least can see the past and the future.  The god of gates and doors.  Is he ready to open a door for me if I let him?  I have to admit that I wouldn’t be opposed to some positive events.  Not that life is dismal right now, but it sure could use some pizzazz!
