Hello beautiful people!
I have created :)
I have created a gift for my lovely step mom Nancy, who is really one of the kindest souls on the planet.
She loves Inukshuks. If you don't know what Inukshuks are I direct you
here because I am pretty sure Wikipedia can explain it better than me.
I created this with love for her birthday, and she LOVED it. I was thrilled, because I am really amateur (at least I feel like I am) with art, and feel like I am still dipping my toes in it.
On Friday night my dad, Nancy, and I all went four wheeling through the forest at night. We went all the way to the Native reserve and had dinner at the restaurant there. It was really very magical. The trees and snow. We went for miles. I love nature, it makes me feel so very connected to the great "is-ness".
But I am so glad I dove right into using my little studio. I think I will be able to be found in there later tonight. Creating my little heart's desires and making them real :)
I have been feeling particularly WITCHY of late. In the best possible way. I am always a witch (and a princess :)) but sometimes I just feel witchier than usual. I am sure ladies can all understand ;)
So I have done a couple of things to my witchy room, or my gypsy dressing room as you all know it. It needed seating, because it has a tv and dvd player. I find I don't spend enough time in a room if it has no seating, or entertainment. And I of course want to use both of my spaces to their utmost wonderfulness. So I went into the garage and dragged this out.
It's an ancient, forest green, wicker love seat. And it was filthy. And it probably breaks a little more every time I sit on it. HAHA! But I kind of love it. I've attacked it with fuschia silk, and a multicolored afghan crocheted by my mother in her teens. I also have a home (finally) for the amazingly bohemian pillow I bought ages ago. Isn't it amazing?! The pillow, it's hard as rock but soooo pretty.
I also now have a place to read fortunes from. Did you all know that about me? I read tarot, and a crystal ball, and tea leaves, and palms. I am quite good, or so I have been told ;)
I also strung some orange lights around the window. They're a bit tacky... let's be honest. But I can't help it. The glow they add to the room is worth the tack.
Yep, as you can see things are always changing around here. This seems to have turned into a decor blog for eccentrics, as well as an art blog HAHA!
Now onto what I am sure you've all been waiting for:
I would just love to issue a HUGEEEE thank you to all of the lovely folks that stop in here and send me love and kindness.
You have no idea how much it means to me and how much I appreciate all the beautiful support and acceptance I have gotten in this art blogging world.
I have found sharing my pieces in the real world to be a tempestuous choice, while sharing it here was practically a no brainer. I have gotten nothing but positivity and kindness.
In order to thank you lovely people, I am offering the opportunity to win a little prize from me. Unfortunately it's a little small, because if I'd added everything I WANTED to add the shipping would have been ridiculous.
Here are the pressies!
An Iron Fairies Soy Candle, a little gypsy box, and a silver fleur de lis necklace.
The rules (sorry, there always have to be rules) are:
1 - You must be a follower of my blog
2 - You must tweet / facebook / blog about my giveaway (pretty please)
3 - You must tell me what your favourite magically related movie is!
4 - If you are under 18 you must ask your parents permission before entering
Simply let me know in your comment that you'd like to be entered, and what your favourite magical movie is. This giveaway is of course, international.
I will be drawing a winner (it's the fairest way) and announce the results in one week, so next Sunday!
Lots of love,
Jenn
