Victoria Price untethered, Plus recipes treasured and a levitating rock mystery

Grounding the wonderment of creation born in the A-Ha moment. - Wendy's Coffeehouse, Perks on the Journey

Video of levitating rocks at the Board Camp Crystal Mine.  MUFON investigated. That show, with Chase Kloetzke, aired on The Travel Channel - Expedition Unknown.

The mine was discovered in 2008 and certified by the federal and state governments to be opened to the public in 2012. Mystery remains unsolved.



Board Camp Crystal Mine crystals have not been acid-bathed, cut, polished or otherwise altered, in order to retain their natural beauty and energy. Located in Polk County, Arkansas, near the Oklahoma border, in the middle of the pristine Ouachita (pronounced “wash-it-taw”) Mountains and Ouachita National Forest, the surface mine (not underground) is located on a forested gentle slope.

Paranormal/Unexplained events happened in Feb of 2017 and that's where the story starts.
Follow on Facebook. Wendy's Coffeehouse interview with owners Orville and Cheryl Murphy scheduled for March 11.

Wendy's Coffeehouse Interview with Victoria Price, 3/4/18

Months ago, I bookmarked Come Into the Kitchen Cookbook by Vincent Price and Mary Price and then discovered A Treasury of Great Recipes. Following up, I saw (daughter) Victoria Price was traveling with her new book, The Way of Being Lost.

Intentionally homeless, Victoria journals her challenge to recover from personal and financial setbacks, heal childhood wounds and, beyond that, to embrace the joy that originates in the core of the authentic self.

With her dog as co-traveler she parallels her journey with Dorothy and Toto in that space called OZ. Ironic, here in the land of Ahhs, Victoria will be given a Kansas celebratory - "Home is where the heart is " - welcome. Lost, found and treasured, kindred spirits wandering, reclaiming and uniting soul ties.

Mentioned during the conversation about Victoria's dragonfly tattoo: Conscious Ink. Victoria's Blog is Daily Practice of Joy. Here she (age 4) poses with the award winning painting in Blue. In the footsteps of Dad, reclaiming her Artist's heart. Past/Present.

Victoria will be in Kansas City on May 4th. Details (still being finalized) include dishing on food, *Vincent Price movie classics and the unexpected legacy of forging extended family ties with Horror Film fans. (The first film, House on Haunted Hill Trailer, The Tingler Trailer, House of Wax Trailer.

Found one recipe I thought I could do, flagged next to my Soda Bread recipe from the Great British Baking Show. Vincent Price's Guacamole. LATaco.

I still love that intensely, time-consuming cake recipe (worth every ounce of amateur cook angst) Sandra Martin hooked me on: Grandmother Maude's Orange Chiffon Cake. Blog Page

*Unforgettable, Vincent Price/Thriller. Details about the session: Legacy  Video - YouTube
*My earlier interview with Victoria on Conscious Living

The Ozark Mountain Conference is coming up. The 31st Annual Ozark Mountain UFO Conference is at The Inn Of The Ozarks In Eureka Springs, Arkansas April 13-15, 2018.

Artist, author, illustrator, former teacher, Reiki Master and intuitive reader. I liked her book the minute it opened to page 105, a UFOMaking Marks

You don't have to be an artist to connect with Elaine Clayton's work. The beauty of this process is that it marries the abstract to link insight and image.

Elaine uses her original method of stream drawing to help clients discover their own inner knowing and then to encourage each to explore his or her own creative, intuitive vibe using the process.

I love her work. This is the first time I have seen anything like it and it validated my passion for what I have always called doodles. I use them to explore, to express, to play and escape. Doodles help me focus and at the same time relax. I consider them as art, but they are not art by anyone else's definition. As such, they have remained a covert pleasure.

So, here is a process that celebrates lines, squiggles, circles, dots, quirky and sometimes meandering designs. Maybe I am not alone.

Wendy's Stream Drawing Sample, 2/24
Try your own stream drawing with 8x10 scrap paper or something like that. Relax, loosen up.

Don't worry about making it look like anything specific. Pick an emotion, a memory or a wish. Put the pencil, crayon, writing utensil to the paper and flow....

Check in with Elaine for inspiration. What is Stream Drawing?

That's my demo. She interprets or comments only if invited. I invited. And she explained more about how she uses the technique and how to read the image or interpret what might be suggested in the design.

Fascinating and an excellent tool for accessing awareness into the inner narrative and core issues and how that might  (to the artist - not the interpreter) be observable when delivered within the energy flow of the lines/designs in a creative work!

She suggests using the non-dominant hand. I think I goofed on that. I can't remember. Basically, the goal is to just draw and see what happens. Every time I look at the image, I notice something different. That's why I like it. But that's what I was so unsure about. My doodles don't have a specific form. They are me playing in non-form. The message is between the lines.  

Elaine's method of stream drawing as a divination tool is inspired and impressive. She shares several examples in the book. Making Marks provides an excellent starting point for anyone who is curious and would like to enhance their own intuitive abilities through creative play that is the process of stream drawing. Thank you, Elaine!
