Do You Believe in Magic?


the magic of a hat is just that
shape size color fabric
imbues the wearer with its spirit
she loved her emerald hat
for when she wore it 
invisible realms
revealed themselves to her
~

imagine that
a magical hat

Cedar is her Name


her hair she wore as earth armor
protective energy within each strand
and also it did guide her
to the treasures of our land
the strands are kin with thuja plicata
a noble tree for sure
together they
hold sacred space
endearing to our human race
~

this is where i found my inspiration for her hair:




so sorry it is out of focus!

spring has begun to melt winter away
and yet today 2 inches plus snow graced our world.....

a couple weeks ago
ice crystals cloaked the forest trees:


and so the slow dance begins
of winter into spring

Watercolor Pencil and Gesso


recently, my dear friend Abigail taught me to use a Stabilo Aquarellable pencil
to sketch with and then take gesso to it to transform it into paint, much like one would take a wet brush
to a watercolor pencil. 
I believe she learned it from Misty Mawn.

This technique was quite challenging for me, 
 yet I have been hooked!
I have a wee moleskine 3.5"x5.5" journal and have been creating faces every chance I get with this technique.
Somehow i think it brings a new spirit to my art. I love this about new techniques!

see the sketch on the right:

then i work the lines with gesso:

something about one color, golden
and then the white gesso that is interesting to me:

i think this is my favorite, sorry the scan is a little blurry:

thank you for your visit
i so enjoy your company
