Action by Joscelin

Joscelin's interest in her Golden Ratio has renewed, she's since become obsessed with spirals found in nature. Her first attempt to deliberately focus on this has resulted in a shell made of gold and DIVINE quality. She is offering it to Jayus at His Shrine in the hopes that such work and inspiration will beget more inspiration and insights into the Golden Ratio originally shown to her by Jayus as a child.


Result

It's after the third item that she has the dream. She sees herself in a workshop, fashioning things that incorporate the spiraling Golden Ratio. Beneath her skillful hands form perfect images of the world -- shells and flowers, to start, but then it gets even more complex. She sees the pattern in the way a raptor dives from the sky towards its prey, and captures that moment in a necklace of a soaring hawk. She sees it in the patterns of honeybees, and captures it in a spiral of honeycomb compartments, with little jeweled bees. Dozens, and then hundreds of these.

And these items go out into the world, and those who see them are filled with wonder at the artistry of Joscelin's work... but also the artistry that's gone into the design of the world itself. They see the touch of craftsmanship all around them, and Joscelin can see the light of understanding dawn in their eyes.

And then she awakens, and in her hand is the golden shell necklace she made. The first item of all of them. Yet somehow, it seems to gleam all the more brightly than she remembers, and when she holds it to her ear, she's certain she can hear the ocean.
