Before leaving the island of the temple people, Enchanteur whispered we should participate in the Seed Sharing Rites, to further our creative fertility and fecundity. These ideas were planted, and began to grow…
Below is a “before” and “after” set of photos. On the left, bits of broken glass, known as “frit”. On the right, the beautiful, flamboyant result of the heat of creativity…The glassworker begins with a gather of hot white Moretti glass, applies more heat and clear glass to encase it with a transparent coating, then rolls the still-hot form in mixed colored frit: voila, a Murano-like beauty is born!

At Soul Food Cafe, we collect, mix, and stir up words and thoughts, apply the white heat of the creativity, and produce beautiful new works, shining with cathedral-like color and vibrance.
“Go into your studio and make something!” the saying goes. In Lemuria, your studio is found in your heart and soul – so go deep within, find the light within your spirit, and let it shine out, using your chosen medium – glasswork, writing, music, photography, painting, or nurturing life itself!
Each day is a new canvas for an artist of the heart!

I love that last line…we all need to heed it and to fill our blank canvas so that never a day goes by that we do not exercise the gift of our creativity..

the individual pieces of glass re transformed into a beautiful work of art so soothing to the eye, in this case, or to the mind when words combine.

This is a wonderful affirmation for the work being done at Soul Food. It really is like being in Vulcan’s forge.
