Dance of Life Necklace

Using several KPT filters as well as other layering and filtering effects in Photoshop, I created this image in my KaleidoCross series. First named KaleidoCross 310, I later renamed it Dance of Life. This one makes me think of a very elaborate Templar Cross. If you look closely you’ll see four swords pointing in diagonally toward the center of the cross. These swords are resting on heart shaped cushions. Golden tassels hang from the cushions, and drape into the white background. A finely carved crystal Maltese cross is superimposed over the central rose colored cross with the deep red and black diamond at its very heart. There is something both Rosicrucian and Templar about this Cross. For the Impressions Project my good online friend Shar* wrote about this image: Ah… Dance of Life Life force energy merging, blending Becoming my reality Ever layered and moved with love Life and creation How beautiful we all are In the dance of life So much life force emits through us all That the world is not large enough to contain it, We must expand beyond ourselves And create new worlds in which to explore. Peace, Shar*
