Copper is an essential mineral for the health of all living organisms. Because of its role in iron uptake, copper deficiency can lead to anemia like disorders. Many swear by the healing powers of copper for arthritis which may be due to its ability to conduct electricity. What I know is that copper makes beautiful jewelry and here are some of my picks from the CJUIN guild on Artfire.

Artfire Collections- Power in those Eyes
My Third Eye Pendant has been in more ArtFire Collections that any other piece in my shop. There seems to be something about the eyes that really inspires artists to put together a collection. When I make an eye pendant, I hang it around my head and wait until my husband notices and laughs. Gotta love that third eye.
Eyes are considered Windows to the Soul In Turkey, evil eye beads are hung around the livestock to keep them safe. The Evil Eye does not cause evil, but protects. The belief is that some individuals can cause harm with their evil eye, but the eyes looking back keeps this from happening. I remember as a child my Dad definitely had "the look" which would stop me dead in my tracks.
I find talking to someone in dark glasses a challenge because I want to see their eyes. I don't know how many times I have heard a parent say "look at me" to their unruly kids. Lovers gaze into each others eyes. According to Wikipedia the power of the eye can be found in numerous cultures. Love to hear your thoughts or stories about the power of the eye.

Social Networking through a Blog Hop
Found some blog hopping on Facebook and got to wondering what that was all about. Looked like a great way to connect to other bloggers and support each other. I am seeing it as a way of being a part of the oneness.
Now I am giving it a try. Looking forward to linking to your blogs in this blog hop. Wish me luck. This is my third try so hopefully it is a charm. Did you know that expression is because there were three fates?
You just click on the link and add the name of your blog or Facebook page. You can also look at others on the list and follow their blog if you like. I am definitely looking at everyone on the list. Look for my Iris logo in your followers.
