faith is knowing........

"when you come to the edge of all the light you have known...

and are about to step out into darkness...

faith is knowing one of two things will happen:

there will be something to stand on...

or you will be taught to fly.

a little crow love......

every since i downloaded the crow freebie from Land of Nod Studios my creative juices have been off the chart! i've always considered all birds to be my muse but most especially the crow.

Ted Andrews book Animal Speak tells us: "wherever crows are...there is magic. they are symbols of creation and spiritual strength. they remind us to look for opportunities to create and manifest the magic of life. they are messengers calling to us about the creation and magic that is alive within our world everyday and available to us."

magic.....there's that word again!

ediths house

how did you celebrate the new year? i had a 'couple' of glasses of wine and worked in my studio until around 10:30 or so. there's an old beat up recliner that lives in that room...up against the window....beneath some oak leaf shaped tea lights. after i finished puttering around i turned out all the lights...laid back in that ol' chair and listened to the moonlight tap on my window. there was a bazillion stars out last night....and as i sat taking in all that beauty i hoped that i'd see a shooting star......at 11:25....yep.......A SHOOTING STAR! .....and i made a wish.....and welcomed the new year in from one of my favorite places. shortly after twelve i went outside and stood beside my studio window.....soaking up the moon glow and the stars glitter...and thanked the universe for another year..........

i started off this new year with paint on my hands.....spent the morning on this piece.....ediths house.
