“Heart’s Funnels” Brooch

by David LaPlantz ·

The heart maintains three funnels: one for the trues, one for the not-trues and one for the maybe trues. Each funnel operates with compassion and creatively filters and releases the waste, then magically flushes clean the vessels after they each do their daily, life’s work. What a magical and important job to keep us erect and sane.

“Magical Connection” Brooch

by David LaPlantz ·

Eyes meet, glances exchanged. A magical connection, is it or isn’t it? Souls connect and what’s next? Sands and water move in and out every day, washing, cleansing and changing the look of the environment.

“CandleEye” Brooch

by David LaPlantz ·

Gazing into the soft, warmth of candles eye, the mind raced backwards and forwards with wonder, questions and a sense of trust and calm. Knowing what might be should be left to time and the sands that flow in and out with each new tide.

“Square Funnel” Brooch

by David LaPlantz ·

Why not a square funnel? H. Bosch had the images that still inspire today. Those images continue to allow our creative minds to flourish and expand the level of visual and imaginative story telling. In addition and separately, it is fun to “see” what the camera “sees” from a coupla different points of view. David is fascinated by exactly what the camera “sees” and ” doesn’t see.”

“The Key is The Key”

by David LaPlantz ·

The key unlocks, the key confounds. Locks are often to be ignored, better yet to ponder than to open and know the contents. The mystery may be more of a learning tool than the knowing. Being naive may help the soul in valuable ways. Some knowledge can only hurt or confuse the intellectual spirit and leave us empty. The truth is in the heart’s chambers which needs no locks or keys. The sleeve shows the contents.

“Other Extreme” Brooch

by David LaPlantz ·

Sometimes the extreme flows from one attitude to the other. The positive or the negative or maybe both, depending on how one squints. Don’t you agree?

“BaConTrk” Brooch

by David LaPlantz ·

Once upon a time, the path leading to calm was lost. Lost, but only for a short time, yet the time seemed too long in returning to the heart’s drawing card.
