crystals and such











I have been taking my crystals out and playing with them. These always bring me joy. This is just a minute sampling of some. My favorite is the one on the metal axis. This crystal spins around on it's little stand. It is also a perfect and very clear crystal. Greg got it for me in a quaint little gallery in Startup WA. My other favorite is the huge herkimer diamond sitting in the "tree mushroom" bowl. That was my first crystal ever and it was given to me by Bill. He was a Cherokee elder and he taught me how to do peyote beading, as well as lessons on crystals and much more. He was 90 years old when he taught me. At 90, he was still lead dancer at the pow wows,............... a great man.

I love crystals, too, and have several. It sounds like Bill was a special man and you were lucky to learn peyote stitch from him.
