Wings

I had a vision of long hair

a woman resting against the back of a bird

the pencils guided me

over a couple of days 

this piece evolved

to enjoy other artists 

and their paintings

visit Paint Party Friday

Fungi and Honeycomb

in his mushroom cap

he stored wisdom

collected from far and near

this faery man

stood with ease

and compassion

one of wisdom's gift

Lavender and Lilac, Spring Inspired

spirits of earth and air

let us dance

with gloreous flare

ethereal we share as kin

breathe dance laugh

and spin

recently I was thrilled to win a copy of Seth Apter's recent book:

The Pulse of Mixed Media;

Secrets and Passions of 100 Artists Revealed

this book overflows with questions to the artists

about how they feel about their art:

where do you find you inspiration

what emotions show up in your art work

what expresses the inner most you

and so on the questions continue

also

 the book overflows with wonderful art!

I love learning about artists

Thank you Seth for the gift of your book!

recently

visiting Karen Ruane's blog: Contemporary Embroidery

I enjoyed how Karen mixed stitching on paper with her cloth fibre stitching

so I thought to give it a try

stitching and watercolors on handmade Khadi paper from India

treat yourself to a leisurely visit at Karen's blog

or even sign up for her amazing class!

Her students are creating awesome pieces!

these last few months i have enjoyed using 
DoTerra high quality organic essential oils.

I am enjoying DoTerra fennel essential oil right now. 
one drop in a glass of water,
quite refreshing!

Used for centuries for its many health benefits, Fennel essential oil has pronounced antioxidant properties and is considered a tonic. It is often used to relieve indigestion (supporting the healthy functions of the stomach), to aid in any kind of digestive issue and to support improvements to the lymphatic system. Fennel's sweet yet spicy aroma is balancing and has familiar licorice notes.

I love the taste of it!

If you are interested in learning more
or trying it yourself
you can visit my DoTerra store.

note: detailed hair inspired by: western cedar foliage:
