The Black Madonna Evolves….

Black MadonnaRemember I showed you how the Black Madonna got started and what the first few days of carving produced?

Well, here she is (and her child) after about 15 sessions.

I carve at about 2 or 3 hours at a time, although sometimes I’ll put in a full day. Hard to do as it’s pretty tiring work. Imagine swinging a 2-pound hammer all day – you get tired!

It probably will take me a good 45 to 60 hours total to create this using just hand tools. If I were using air tools, it’d go monstrously faster, but I like the pace of hand tools.

Neat to see how it progresses, isn’t it?

You can see how I have raised the hand on our right up so you can now see the child’s belly and the top of her thighs. It looked way too ponderous the way it was before. You actually have more latitude for moving elements around than you’d think, and I push the envelope as far as I can!

I also widened mama’s chest so her breast is larger, because it was hard to see what was going on in that part. I wanted her to look like a mother, not a girl-friend, so I made the chins swing away from each other – this way they are pressing foreheads together, and that’s it. I also took away a lot of that heavy hair on the side. I’ll show you more when it’s all done. It’s pretty close.

Now it seems to me to be a double entendre: is it a child imagining being held by her mother? Or is it a mother holding her child? Or maybe it’s a child imagining herself as an adult, or dreaming an angel. I like to think of it as a mother transmitting her innate wisdom to her child. Now you make up your story about it!

    Angela -

    Thank you for sharing your time and energy with us.

    I enjoyed the No More Calling Fears teleconference (at EFTBooks.com). It was easy to follow and I like the Curiosity calling technique.

    Despite several major life changes I am trying to get back on track - am taking baby steps and this teleconference was one step in the right direction.

    Regards, Sheryl

    Layne and I had SO much fun with you on our call Thursday! Hope you're enjoying a fabulous weekend in beautiful Kailua!

    Aloha nui loa,

    Thank you Angela. It was my pleasure to be your radio show guest - you make it so easy.

    I was very comfortable and it was just like we were having a nice casual conversation. Thank you for what you do.

    I've listened to so many of your interviews and have benefitted from them. I put them on my mp3 and listen to them at every opportunity, including my vehicle when I travel. Thank you for what you do....

    I want to let you know that I appreciate everything that you do and what I have purchased from you before.

    I remember I had a problem when you were running that Grab Bag Special - one of the products didn't download for me for some reason - I sent you an email and you were great about getting back to me right away with the fix.

    Anyway, just thought I would let you know how much you are appreciated and trusted by people on your list!

    Best regards, Laura Whitelaw

    I listened in to you tonight instead of Debbie Ford, tonight's (Shared Vision) opening act...I really appreciated your talk.

    The tapping exercise was excellent. And I loved the points you used.... Your method really hit home.

    Yes, I like being on all these calls and hearing the great ideas and shifts that people are experiencing. I also like hearing others I know from the calls check in ... oh, somebody I know....!

    Peace, Jay Dorman

    ------------------------

    Please continue to be an example. It's a good one.

    Wow, Angela...I am so grateful that I decided to buy this Wealth Maverick Audios Special offer....

    I would have to make up some sort of superlative adjective to describe the incredibleness (is that even a word?) of these 2 audios (how's fantabulistic for starters?)....

    ...and moreover of this simply ingenious process of name-ing..rename-ing...and retrieving this precious energy potential instead of just dissolving it and being glad that it has been released (to God only knows where!)...

    ...this is the ultimate process of recycling Energy and welcoming it back with open arms...a POWER-FULL process indeed.

    Thanks so much for sharing it with us!!! Blessings... Sallie

    ------------------------

    By the way, I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED your latest ezine - the units of appreciation is such a fabulous way of thinking/feeling about the payment. Thank you for sharing and illuminating that for me. I could totally related to what you are talking about. You are so right on.

    Blessings, Tami
