A Dragon arises in a circle of fire,
head bent to listen,
her radiance blesses all around her.
Wings stretching into flight;
tail of fire and flame spell out the artist’s name…
Original art by m’Lady Tony,
original painting created in the mid sixties.
While living in Hawaii in the mid 80s,
the painting had been lost
(a stolen folder of Dragon Art,
each image of a Dragon with the name “Tony” worked into the design)
for years,
only a concept sketch survived.
As a gift,
I re-created her Flame Dragon from a scribble in her notebook.
So delighted with it,
she insisted we add the amulet to the line.
A few years later I attended Free Spirit Gathering (FSG);
and lo, there was a painting so similar it stopped me cold.
For a minute I thought I was looking at the lost painting,
but no,
it too was an original work of art perceived as a Phoenix!
I found the coordinators of the event and brought them to my tent sheltering my display of jewelry.
They too were impressed at the similarity.
After a very strange “chicken or the egg” conversation we all agreed
“nobody copied anybody”,
the two artists were on the same wavelength,
from two points of the globe arose the same image.
Tony and I decided to offer use of the Flame Dragon Amulet,
celebrating FSG, providing them a fundraiser for the festival.
For several years I produced jewelry for the event,
not just of this design but others their artists envisioned.
After well over 20 years, I am now re-releasing the amulet to the public
under it’s original name “The Flame Dragon”.
This amulet is for those who love Dragons,
their grace and purpose:
to cleanse and transform that which IS to what it Will Be.
