It was time to take apart a crystal grid I had up for the last few months of the year. Cleansing the crystals and having them rest for a while before I begin making a new one, inviting the ones that might like to be part of the first grid of the new year.

There's also a few things I meant to do earlier, like these five remaining little bowls, two in Rose Quartz and three in Fluorite. I had saved these particular ones for being perfect to combine with gold. I used to work a lot with genuine 23.5. carat gold leaf in my bookbinding days. It's among the few metals I resonate with, it seems to 'spring to life' when worked with, very gentle and pure feel to it. I'm pleased I got these completed, definitely adding some special crystal sparkle to the new year!
