Book excerpt: With an artist's eye and an explorer's heart, Temple St. Clair fashions jewelry from rare colored gems with distinctive gold work to illustrate universal narratives of the earth and cosmos. In each of the one-of-a-kind pieces that comprise her Haute Couture collection, St. Clair explores our relationship to animals through a lens of whimsy and discovery and celebrates a connoisseur's level of gemstones and Florentine craftsmanship. The Golden Menagerie offers an exclusive window into the alchemic jeweler's process, illustrating the collection through St. Clair's original watercolor paintings and luminous photography of each stage of creation. From the articulated Secret Garden Serpent necklace to vibrantly jeweled Fantasy Birds earrings to a ring mounted with a falcon ready to take flight from the wearer's finger, St. Clair's creations come to life on the page, imbued with alchemy and artistry.
Download or read book Lester s Gift written by Judi Lees and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you aren’t the person you thought you were, then who are you? After his wife Cassandra is killed under mysterious conditions, Lester Whittall finds his orderly life destroyed. Who killed Cassandra and why was she in that strange location are the painful questions that perplex Lester, his 22-year-old daughters and the police. When he meets travel writer Rachel Jasper, it is quickly evident that her world is the antithesis of Lester’s tidy one. Her ‘seize the moment’ philosophy is both bewildering and delightful. Although she has family issues of her own, she doesn’t let them distract her from what she thrives upon – incessant travel and male companionship. Visiting a shaman in Mexico, hiking in Australia, beguiled by the beauty of Thai and Cambodian temples – through his adventures and a growing intimacy with Rachel Lester learns much more about himself than about the foreign landscapes that he explores. www.judileeswrites.com
