CD debut of Scott Kellogg
Silver in Their Veins
“Scott Kellogg’s songwriting and mastery of his playing imbibe a sense of deep knowing: that kind of primal knowing, like putting your ear to the ground and hearing the Earth’s heartbeat.”
- Amanda Pearcy
Austin, TX singer-songwriter
“His bass guitar playing is second to none, but he’s also an intelligent lyricist and composer, a thoughtful producer, and a masterful guitar player.”

Viking Runes
Jewelry byJill Pierce silversmith since 1992, specializing in pierced overlay
Runesare ancient symbols, the first form of written communication. Today, Runes are used as Oracles for the spiritual seeker to gain insight into one's subconscious, for the purpose of positive change and growth. Entire sets of Runs are used; cast and read in different patterns to gain this insight.
The Rune jewelry Jill has created is intended to be worn as an individual talisman, to provide a needed message during a particular time in life. You will be drawn to the Rune that you presently need. On the back of each Rune, a meditation is engraved.
Disruption, Stand Still, and Warrior Runes
The "Joy" Series

Pierced overlay involves creating negative images by removing metal with a jeweler's handsaw.
