This form is known as a star-tetrahedron, stellated octahedron, or merkaba. These were welded from 3/16" steel wire that was recycled from discarded election campaign signs. By doing this I have completed a symbolic transmutation from political propaganda to sacred geometry. The merkaba is one of many forms that arises from Metatron's Cube, as well as the Flower of Life. I've personally discovered from earlier merkabas that I've made, that if it's suspended from the ceiling it will start to spin by itself if the psychic energy in the room becomes elevated.
These are made out of 3/16" steel rod which is durably welded on all corners and intersections. The metal is 100% recycled from abandoned political campaign signs.
One of these is on permanent installation at the Eternal Abundance store, on Commercial Drive, Vancouver BC.
I was commissioned to build a 5 foot tall cat tree for an athletic kitty that liked running about the house. It's large and heavy enough that it can't be knocked over, even with vigorous play. A key feature was an inclined ramp that was long enough for the cat to stretch out, as well as a standard scratch post. Because of it's size, it was deliberately designed to have modular construction, so that it can be dismanted for transportation.
One of the first things I did when I adopted my cat, was to establish a decent sized platform on the window sill for him to observe from. This same platform also gave him potential access to the countertop area where I prepared food. To keep him off the counter, I created an obstacle by stacking a series of milk cartons. This achieved my objective, but it had a problem.
Because the window sill is one of my cat's favorite places, it presents many opportunities to do cat photography. Unfortunately, my stack of milk cartons adds unnecessary visual clutter to the photos I was taking. I sought out a solution that would provide a functional barrier, but be as visually unobtrusive as possible. I used a piece of salvaged clear acrylic, so that it would still transmit light. The surface was scuffed to prevent reflections.

GPS Mount

2-3/4" x 2-1/4" x 2"
This project was an exploration of constructing an effective and reliable mounting bracket using upcycled materials. The GPS was purchased as a used item. However, it never came with a mount. The existing mounts on the market all try to place the GPS near the windshield, or in front of the air vents would likely make it even more distracting and dangerous to use. The screen isn't very large, so it can't be located too far away. Why buy a new accessory, if it's not even going to work properly anyways?
I came to the conclusion that the best position for it was on top of the steering column. There's a perfect spot where I can see the map display, without it interfering with my view of the factory instrument cluster. This installation is also a nod to the hotrodder tradition of installing an aftermarket automotive gauge in the same location. I frequently make use of the GPS's speedometer feature, so this perfect! This installation also included routing the power cable for the adapter, so that it's close to the mount, and to eliminate any hazards from exposed dangling wires.
The clamp itself was clever mechanism I devised myself when I realized tha the tabs of a binder clip could be used to engage with the mounting ring on the back of the GPS. The binder clip attaches to a tapered wedge. As it slides downt the wedge, it naturally secure itself to the mount. As the jaws get closer to each other, the tabs spread apart, increasing the force that it clamps on to the GPS with.
Digicamo Rust Repair

Traditionally in automotive body trade, great effort is spent to make repairs as invisible as possible. Filler is contoured and smoothed. Paint is color matched and blended. What if there were other ways a repair could be disguised, such as using camouflage?
Holographic Skull Sticker

1-3/4" x 3"
This design came about seeing how a sticker could be designed to have a harmonizing effect, without having an outward appearance of containing sacred geometry. I also wanted to do a test of my sticker vendor's production capabilities. As it turned out, not all the details were faithfully render as I would have liked. As a result, it has sub-performance as an energy tool. It is however still a cool looking sticker!
Cat Skull Sticker

All of us have food items in our homes that we enjoy, yet are toxic to pets. We've all glanced at the articles about the things we should never feed our critters. Wouldn't it be nice if the containers themselves had proper warning labels? It's a bit bizarre that we have standardized warning symbols for things that are dangerous to us, but nothing for our animals. I've created a sticker design that does just that! The design features an anatomical cat skull, constructed from clear waterproof vinyl. These stickers look fabulous on glass apothecary jars, or anything else your kitty shouldn't get into!
Pyramids have fascinated humanity for thousands of years. When we construct one to better understand the form and the energies it produces, we need to be mindful of how it's constructed. The Giza pyramid features a slight concave shape, which actually makes it an 8-sided structure. This is necessary so that it doesn't broadcast harmful geopathic energy. Any 4-sided pyramid should have a correction applied to it in a similar manner. At the very least, there should be some kind of vertical line that extends upwards from the middle of the base, to at least half way up the pyramid. Radiesthesia can be used to confirm the absence of harmful VNG wavelengths.
Hartmann Zone Correction
Medium: upcycled lumber, wood glue, hardware

Hartmann lines are an energetic grid system that manifests through a wave interference phenomena due to the electrification of our world. The Hartmann grid is composed of lines oriented North / South and East / West. The lines are typically only a few inches wide, and spaced 2-3 feet apart. Within the Hartmann grid also exists Hartmann Zones, which can be several feet wide. They can have a harmful influence, as they typically have the same sort of energetic properties as a geopathic stress zone. You typically don't want them in important places like the bedroom, or pointed towards portal openings such as doors and windows.
This location had a Hartmann zone crossing a short distance from the house. I placed a 135° shape emitter at the center of each zone, to transmute the geopathic energy that it was producing.

This piece is an exploration of using temple design principles to construct a computer peripheral. Computing devices are known for their EMF radiation. Could it be possible to transmute that radiation through just through form and shape? The base and support gussets all utilize pentagonal geometry. The angles of 18°, 36°, 54°& 72° are featured throughout the design. In radiesthesia measurements, this stand produces an abundance of the BG3 sacred power spot energy.
My initial inspiration for building this came from needing to assemble a computer to do video editing. I had some spare monitors that I intended to use, but none had any stands. Commercially available monitor stands often have many shortcomings. In the desire to make them as universal as possible, most have a plethora of articulated arms which don't actually hold monitors that securely. The articulation often interferes with the ability to place them close to wall. Most of them look terrible, and have inadequate cable management features. Why not design a fully integrated solution, that's slim, lightweight, and solid? As a total solution, this design includes ergonomic, lifestyle and aesthetic factors as well. This design tilts the monitors inwards for better visability, has integrated dual-color bias lighting for reducing eye strain, as well as an effective cable management system.
With the lessons I learned from making my prior stickers , I discovered a way to make an effective EMF harmonizer, using the sticker manufacturing process. This was designed to be an EMF solution for devices like tablets or laptops, that typically don't have cases (it's just as effective on phones). The focus here was to make an aesthetically pleasing harmonizer that would be placed on the outside of a device. The clear material blends in with the aesthetics of the device, and looks fabulous on anodized metal finishes! It features a strong permanent adhesive intended for outdoor use, so there's no chance of this accidentally falling off. There's also a glossy lamination on the outside for extra durability. This can also be installed outside on equipment like smart meter enclosures, exterior mesh network nodes, or WiFi extenders without worrying about the elements damaging it.
Cat Pictures!
Through a unique set of circumstances, I ended up adopting a cat in 2021. I brought him home the same day we had a blood-moon lunar eclipse.This is Hipparchus. He's quickly become one of my favorite photographic subjects:
Decay
Mankind has made many interventions against the natural world. Because our artificial constructions are not living beings, they're incapable of regenerating themselves. As time passes, all machinery will eventually break down. Some sooner than others:
Winter
It's very easy to find photographic opportunities during the warmer months. I started this photo project to deliberately find the stark beauty that can be found amongst the cold and desolation of the winter months:
