I am being forced to make a lot of changes in my Etsy shop.  AND...as I work along I can see it is LONG overdue.  So many "wrongs" and no explanations so it looks as if I will be busy for quite awhile....but worth it in the end. Then there's Income Tax preparation.  Transactions to run.  Adding to do. along with normal everyday life. AND I WANNA PAINT. So, as I sit here doing what must be done before what I want to do I am taking notes. I want to use a COLOR PALETTE of: Paynes Grey Purple Green Pink or a Coral/Salmon White to Lighten Colors of Palette Bronze or Gold Line-work I want the Subject matter to be: A Landscape I want to Use a canvas I was playing with that has some polymer clay and rubber stamping up one side and I am thinking a stencil.  Butterfly, dragonfly, floral .....  and will use acrylic paints. Wonder what else will come through as I sit here working?

My sister (Cindy) is selling and adding gemstones, and gemstone jewelry to her Etsy site on a weekly basis.  She has some gorgeous, unique, gemstones that are said to be spiritual and healing depending upon the stone, and sometimes the color.  This is a place pink, clear and white Dragon Vein gemstone.  She has a good selection...  I have heard that the right person will be drawn to the right stone that is needed in their life. www.cjoriginals.etsy.com

I guess this is going to be a mixed media dimensional project.  I am just beginning and believe me when I say I have NO idea where I am going.  I am just "doing". This evening I worked some more on it so will add another picture soon.   I find myself "wandering".  Picking up things that "might be what I need".  It is one of those cases where you just kinda "wander" mentally and physically and pretty soon you have a pile of "stuff".  I may not use it....but then again I may.  I am not going to "force" the piece I am going to let it lead me wherever it is I am to go... The face is a mold I made out of a 2 part molding compound.   I probably should have sanded it a bit more after I took the clay out of the mold and after baking....but I didn't ;  so evidently it was not a necessary step for what I am doing...so I am not going to "sweat it" just yet. The paint is a "new" paint for me .... coming from a  dec...

 I am in the process of crocheting fingerless gloves for my daughters store.  This was my first pair. The instructions are not right and/or needed to be altered so now I can get on with some prettier ones.   These are a bit too heavy, and this particular type of variegated yarn doesn't work as you can see.  u I have chosen a lighter weight yarn in the JEANS line for the pair I am working on now and I love the way they are turning out.  Much softer, and still as warm.   I had to change to a much smaller hood, making the cuff portion a bit longer,  and am sewing together differently than the purchased instructions. With my next pair I will write my own instructions so I have them to follow .......

For the past few years I have been doing what I refer to as "Intuitive shorthand. "   I use it with photographs I take, art pieces I create, and to help me go inside...instead of using my mind. The pre requisites are: A meditative State. A journal A quiet spot where you won't be disturbed Soft music with no words to distract Low lighting I burn some Paulo Santo *holy wood Clear my mind of any thoughts  Close my eyes Get comfortable Begin I then begin listening for words or a phrase to  come through.  I don't hurry the process. When the words don't come any more I end my session. After I write a word or a short phrase, i close my eyes again until the next word emerges, etc. till done. After the session. or maybe a few days later I take the listing of words I have written in the order they were written   and as QUICKLY  as possible ; with no mindful thoughts,  I create an intuitive recall.  The most important aspect is to write as quickly as po...

When I read a post that confirms my suspicions ...I have to share in hopes it will make the light come on for other victims and or survivors still needing confirmations to alleviate some of the guilt, and self esteem issues they suffer thinking it was them...and not understanding fully the craziness of Narcissism and the narcissist.  Here in  just one big sentence they realize and can SEE another truth....vs the illusion....the veil the narcissist wears... but sometimes their excitement in achievement gives them away once you go back and relive the situation(s).   This is SO the truth and it feels so good to KNOW that someone else has also had the same  experience and has shared it to help someone like me.  I even can look back and see how certain things were "set up" how it was achieved and the innocent participants...along with the look of satisfaction on the perpetrators face as she realized "success"  and that portion of her play had just had a sta...

I am working on some crocheted hats for my daughter and son in laws'  store.  The woven material is sari silk material on the left and a silk texture type yarn on the other.   They are quick and easy....a nice break for a few days before I go back to my clay on canvas pieces that are waiting on my table in my studio.  Speaking of which...stay tuned for the most recent piece...found the perfect size shadow box .... anxious to get things secured together and see if it is "done" or if I still have work to do on it.
