Here are some more information for Deep Green Jade:

Long rays of sunlight

golden the shivering leaves,

warms the path beneath.

~*~

Raindrops are falling

Pools reflect shadows of trees

Dark clouds and gray skies

~*~

Sky and lake of blue

O'er and under gold-rust hues

Fall brims, 'twixt the two

~*~

Morn sighs, her first breath

As sky lifts the gold-red orb

Day breaks, colors bold

~*~

Mist beyond the hills

Lambent backdrop of pale hues

Town lights tinted brume

~*~

Cool breath on hot flesh

Coils with curls, caresses nape

Zephyr's kiss on skin

~*~

Briny ocean breeze

Surf-swept sand, seashells, and stones

Gull wings beat skyward

~*~

In a beam of light

The bright liquid orb doth dance

Water drop faerie

~*~

Past walls of night's room

Come roam the scape of twilight

Darkness beckons...Soon!

~*~

In each darkened tear

Within the watery veil

Ghosts with tales to tell

~*~

I must bed down now

Nighttime in my soul, you see

Wintry slumber deep

~*~

Whispers from the lake

Traverse to trees and yon hills

There to share secrets

~*~

Amber swath, dusk's sun

Satin wind upon my cheek

Eventide unfurls

~*~

Ribbon silver-blue

Wet mirror of sky's bright hue

River, nature's vein

~*~

Daisies with gold hearts

White pot, yellow bow, a card

Thinking of you...love

~*~

Red ribbon tied 'round

Vase of flowers and water

Balm, for pain dreaded

~*~

Burning sky, gold orb

Over the darkled vista

Into fire, a dove

~*~

Colorless cascade

Sunshine a glint in the spray

O'er pool, black and grey

~*~

Marbled foam of pearl

Pale green to dark jade, wet curl

Spangled, shadowed purl

~*~

Grown now, but pups yet

Two Goldens tumble, spin, play

Grinning partners, they!

~*~

Faerie dust wings still

As slender legs alight to

Sip the nectar sweet

~*~

On the path I trod

O'er leafy trees, birds in flight

Cool, cast shades of life

~*~

O'er gold fields, storm pressed

Etched lightning rends darkled skies

Spears the horizon

~*~

Luminous petals

Pink, amidst dark green velvet

spread of leaves, subdued

~*~

Seal in waters blue

Two images, one clear, one

Wavy, curlicue

~*~

Warm air stirs round me

It is not a breeze, really,

More, the breath of Spring

~*~

Frothy waters white

In cool streams or ocean tides

Wet vessels of life

~*~

Spring's piquant fragrance

Eddies round me, a dance, of

Blossoms, soil, herbs, rain

~*~

Gold in the lowland

Trees below jutting mountains

Painted rock backdrop

~*~

Songbird's voice bursts out

Over high hilltops of air

Down to cloud valleys

~*~

Snowflakes on gray fur

Mournful howl pierces night's air

Paws pad down the hill

~*~

Shadows 'neath the tree

Swirling, dancing, silently

Music of the sun

~*~

Steep walls imprison

Blue waters that would be free

Boundless sky sheds tears

~*~

My Golden has, big

Floppy feet, furry arms, and

Bony, furry knees

~*~

Fwap, fwap, fwap, my cat

Swatting shadows, biting air

Hunting nothing there

~*~

Living without you

Haunts me now, we both grow old

Is this what it's like?

~*~

Twitching shadows, bees

Weathered fence, plants, breeze brushed trees

Outside my window

~*~

Flash of Golden tail

Warm sun on leaves, spider webs

Outside my window

~*~

Teeth, wet nose, four eyes

Two dogs looking in at me

Outside my window

~*~

Horizon and sea

Fold of purple, a crease. Ebb

Tide licks twilight sands

~*~

Hidden in autumn

Dewy eyes, wet nose, standing

still, while a leaf falls

~*~

Grand, underground realm

Castle, earth's bone, sky of stone

Fortress where none dwell

~*~

Bruised brow, lids heavy

with tears, white-shot veins burn hot

stab the pupil...earth

~*~

Grand the vista lies

Striated history in

Yesterday's colors

~*~

Fresh coffee, wood smoke

Morning shadows, subdued light

Campers awaken

~*~

Mantis in repose

Sleek and deadly you wait, like

the thorn on a rose

~*~

There in the gloaming

In the bespelled woods of yore

Do the fae await

~*~

Fleeting seconds few

To feel the pull of the earth

O'er the ocean blue

~*~

Bank the embers low

In deep waters of the lake

For the morning sun

~*~

From the shattered sky

The breath and tears of Heaven

Span the horizon

~*~

Amid shining rocks

In sea water skies of night

A red star twinkles

~*~

Arr arr eeeee, that be

Pirate talk, backwards ya see!

~*~

Dead men tell no tales...

~*~

Proud parent of two

On sun-slicked water gold, blue

Babes stay close, safe, home

~*~

Burst of plum blossoms

'Neath skeletal sentinel

Slope of rock, backdrop

~*~

Footfalls of the wolf

Ribbons of prints in the snow

Those of prey, and foe

~*~

Frosty branches crack

Icy water rushing past

Bid adieu to fall

~*~

Velvet skin petals

Autumn's teardrops adorn you

Winter yawns, hello

~*~

Nature's looking glass

Water bluer than the sky

Still as a held breath

~*~

Pastel clouds of grey

Curling surf marbled with fizz

Dirt path skirts the mist

~*~

Older than the hills?

Not quite, but certainly close

And by far, wiser

~*~

Bearing novices

Steady, sure footed, stubborn

Trusty, too, the mule

~*~

Spreading, aging oak

Sitting 'neath your branches, what

Visions you could share

~*~

Black calf, bewhiskered

Nose so near to me I can

Smell hay on your breath

~*~

Wind rushing past me

Wet sadness blows from my face

Driving past my past

~*~

Adorned in flowers

Dressed up for a date, but no

Green frog prince in sight

~*~

February fog

Late morning sunlight glances

off breeze shattered waves

~*~

Black cat in the tree

Yawning panther lazily

Spots me hungrily

~*~

Silkie, sea wet in

Repose on the rocks, brown eyes

Have marked me for loss

~*~

Winter sun on snow

Horizon's metallic glow

Cattle huddle, lo

~*~

Morning dew on silk

Liquid diamonds in her lair

Spider's sticky weyr

~*~

Dying fall leaves hang

Like drying gems over a

cool liquid mirror

~*~

Under the starred ferns

Away from the strongest flow

Fae feel the cool spray

~*~

We're soul mates airborn

Striking similar poses

Lost to fun, we play

~*~

Ears up, forelegs out

Stubby tails, blonde coats, running

Playing tag. You're it!

~*~

Gnarled and twisted tree

Have children sat on your branch

Gazed the rusted past?

~*~

Liquid reflections

Water plants float in the clouds

Trees wade through the sky

~*~

Grand, underground realm

Castle, earth's bone, sky of stone

Fortress where none dwell

~*~

Rock, tapestry roof

Pierced by bony, castle spires

Kingdom--Inner Earth

~*~

Growing old haunts me

Is it like this? Growing old?

Have you felt this, too?

~*~

Green Furniture

Certified Sustainable Wood

Murmur ‘furniture' and it opens up your imagination with vivid pictures of retro and modern furniture in sundry materials. Wood, fabric, steel, glass and processed material like Methacrylate, high-density fiber—the most common being wood—accepted world over for its natural charms. There are options to meet the fancy and demands, and the choices are good for you, for me, good for everyone. Let's say the world needs trees—they help with the natural balance. They hold the soil together, they cool up the planet surface and they help with the food chain.

We have been debating over using wood from sustainable harvested forests, sustainably harvested tree farms, and reclaimed wood being the main sources. Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and its largest forest certifier, the Rainforest Alliance, is the most widely used standard for sustainable forestry. Relating to the theme, I found a couple of designs that appealed for the right reasons…

The Baltic coffee table rocks for its antique features and green theme. Crafted with harvested Solid Wood-Durian Timber, it goes well with the light hearted and conventional buff alike…the ring-shaped handles on the drawers look great, and the low-slung design demands attention….

Then we have the Tua Glass Doors Media Stand—a unique combo of utility & bygone charms—the furniture retains antique looks in modern form. Intelligent furniture….

Turning away from antique looks, lets focus on contemporary green furniture….the Loft media center, for instance. Designed diligently to store and display, it carries elements of sound architecture to make flawless furniture. Also deserves a mention is the Loft Modern Dining Table with its watertight features that add a contemporary touch to the overalls..

Furniture made with reclaimed materials

A stitch in time saves nine. Wood, as precious as it is, if taken care of, can last for a long time. Remember the legendary wood furniture tales passed on by grannies as it being preserved since long time. I think there is great substance in preserving wood. Why shouldn't we make good use of all the wood that's already out there? It's the right way and many designers are doing a wonderful job out of reclaimed wood.

Reclaimed wood is the wood that usually is retrieved from old furniture, houses and other wooden articles, as also from left over sraps in a factory. Some stuff even comes from the bottom of the riverbed, wooden logs that sink to the bottom while being transported to the sawmill, and even from the bottom of the man-made reservoirs. Either way, furniture made from reclaimed wood is a great example of resource efficiency, but usually comes in shorter supply. The Rainforest Alliance has a Rediscovered Wood Certification label to look for.

Spacify line of AZCAST collection is committed to crafting furniture out of reclaimed material, crafting attractive and useful furniture and goods that are ultimately recyclable themselves; indeed, when an unfinished product is rejected, it is simply recast and used again.

Most of its designs are worth mentioning…the 5-Star Glass Dining Table, for instance. Made from aluminum used in aircraft parts (among other sources) is hand-poured into casts to produce the desired moldings. The clean minimal design hits a cord with furniture buffs as each piece is hand-molded, hand-poured, and hand-finished.

Bamboo—great grass for furniture!

Bamboo is a highly aesthetic grass used to decorate, build and landscape. It represents a family of grasses that range in size from a blade, growing up to many feet, and varying in color from jade green to maroon stripes. It grows incredibly fast and is highly versatile. As a matter of fact, it is the favorite with environmental designers and builders.

The beauty of bamboo lies in its flexibility. It can be flattened into flooring, shaped into furniture, compressed into veneers, sliced up to make window blinds. To get to extremes, you can even build a whole house out of it. Using bamboo in buildings earns architects and builders LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Designs) points. Most organic bamboo is grown in China, sometimes grown with few or at best, no pesticides. Because it grows fast, it is much easier to maintain a healthy bamboo forests. This also means it uses a lot of water, however, and harvesting too fast can deplete soil fertility. But for the most part, bamboo is one of the greenest materials around.

In line with the concept, I recently came across Spacify's Legare furniture and makes it here for all eco-friendly reasons. Made with Birch-plywood, it is worth noting that producing plywood yields 8-10 times more usable wood from a log as against solid lumber. Plywood furniture has greater potential to outlast solid wood furniture. And the energy utilized in converting wood from a raw material to a finished product is minuscule as compared to any other industrial material. Some examples….

The Dante Straight Desk made from 13-ply Baltic Birch Plywood is an FSC-certified 60" desk offering generous room for storage & study. A stupendous test carried out at Entela Labs showed that the furniture managed to load an incredible 2000 pounds (one ton) of shot bags and weights on Legare's Corner Desk with no structural damage!

Plywood furniture has been around for a little over 100 years and its manufacturing techniques have been explored by a handful of designers including Aalto, Eames, Danko, and Pfeiffer. The Enrico straight desk goes on to prove just why. The modular design allows you to lock multiple units together to form a single, rigid workspace. The assembly is easy—without screws and bolts.

The Bice Peninsula adds that extra bit of deep handy desk space and is great for two-way meetings. The 31" Peninsula adds approx 31" of deep, end-cap width to an existing desk. The asymmetric panels are reversible, allowing left/right-hand unit to be attached to either side any desk or to an extension.

The Zita Modern Media Stand is a modular design flaunting four 8-high bays for audio/video components. The top can hold Plasmas/LCDs up to 50 cm in size. For surround sound systems, the center divider is recessed to allow a small center-channel speaker to be ideally placed under the TV and it has storage for more than 120 DVDs or 170 CDs on its four outer shelves.

Recyclable and disassemblable

The world would look so much better, and us, we would feel a little more at ease with green furniture speaking the universal language of eco-friendliness. The concept gains popularity for its equanimity and practicality, FSC certified furniture rings for its obvious implications on mother earth. Means products certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, an international organization established to develop guidelines and certification processes for ecologically sustainable forestry.

Some examples of these products would be ones that can be easily disassembled, arranged, and recycled once they have lived their lives. Concrete furniture is out of fashion, in this context, and it means furniture that can't be separated, may not be very inspiring. If it can't be easily disassembled it's probably a sign it can't be repaired easily.

For obvious reasons, we need to take a close look at the recyclable furniture we wish to buy. Is it robust, easy to assemble & most important—is it certified? Spacify's Legare collection looks smart and I would like to highlight a few models…

The norms being set, I like the Lucia Designer Extension Desk for its easy looks, easy assembly, practicality and robustness. Made with 3-Ply Baltic Birch Plywood, the Panels are asymmetric and reversible and the Bridges are designed to pull two desks together to make larger workspaces for two or more users. And yes, its really easy to get together….

Lia Office Corner Desk deserves a mention too. The corner desk is available in two dimensions; and holds it there; Entela Labs showed that the furniture managed to load an incredible 2000 pounds (one ton) of shot bags and weights with no structural damage! Adjustable shelving holds up to three 12" shelves and three 24" shelves. Great design….less fuss…its FSCfied as well…

Low-toxicity furniture

Have you ever noticed new furniture or car with its peculiar odor—it's what they call off gassing, emanation of volatile matter of any kind from materials into habitable areas. It's not relatively new; when you buy a piece of furniture and set it down, it tends to off gas which is all right if the materials used are non-synthetic. Some synthetic materials are toxic and can be linked to birth defects, and even cancer.

If your house is well insulated, toxins tend to circulate in the air and can be harmful. If you have children around and even pets that lick as a habit, it can be dangerous. One good idea while buying furniture is to check for ‘‘Green guard certification''. It will ensure that you bring home low-toxicity furniture.

Also, try to explore naturally treated furniture with natural wood finishes, or biologically tanned leather and organic cotton. Here are some fine examples of green grade furniture,
Lectern Table Mobile Base is indoor air quality Certified® by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute under the GREENGUARD Standard for Low Emitting Products. The metal mobile Base is a well-structured creation while top is made of smooth wood and is noteworthy for its unusual shape and fine edge all around. Meets or exceeds ANSI/BIFMA standards soft edge options protects the user (as well as the furniture) from damage.

Team Table X-Base with metal pedestal and wood veneers top makes a style statement, made available in four Surface/Edge colors. It is designed to meet ANSI/BIFMA standards; soft edge options protect the user (as well as the furniture) from damage. Wood fiber core and veneer surface are 100% post-industrial recycle content.

Jack Solo Office Table is right for tight spaces. The standard design with black modesty panel is intuitive to use and comes with four braking casters for mobility and control. The ADA compatible design has Single activation lever for flip-flop motion located under work surface.
