HI! I'm julie...my blog is a mix of things..personal musings, inspiring quotes and stories, my art adventures, and every once in a while I post things that might be a little hard to read about, things going on in the world....
Things that trouble me...often things we can do something about.
I'm a mixed media fiber artist, I believe in magic and the power of intent...
I call my 'dolls' Spirit Figures because it feels like they come from Spirit to me, for you.
I love what I do and I have been fortunate to have my Spirit Figures go home to places all over the world..
I'm happy to be part of
One World One Heart
for the third time.
I think this is the last time the event is going to happen...
If you've done this before you know what's what....but for those of you reading about this for the first time this is an international blogger event. We meet all kinds of creative bloggers from all over the world, make new friends, and maybe win something cool and we get to give something.
Talking Woman stick..
she who holds the stick does the talking...
great tool..
Paper Mache' and paper clay..

Wanted to be sure to stop by the blogs I already follow to make sure I get to them, so MANY blogs last year and looks like already over 400 this year.
ALWAYS a pleasure stopping in to see what you have been up to. Your dolls convey such a peace FULL feeling.
Love all your work and your take on life.
Thank you,
Diane
ps, stop by when you can.
Don't know if I've made the list yet, I know Lisa is cranking them out as fast as she can. haha
You know I'll always put my name in your hat! (even though I've already been graced once before by one of your creations)
I hope you have a wonderful OWOH journey this year, and that it brings more people to your door who will be as thrilled as I was to find you.
Blessings my friend!
Hi Julie, nice to meet you! The sweet talking stick please, if I should win :-). Thanks for coming to my blog. Blessings.xoxo
Great Blog! I dont' know which to chose though, so if I should, whichever you're more up to parting with. Be sure to visit my blog, so I can enter you in my little giveaway.
Hi Julie!
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Your figures are so inspirational. I hope you are having a great time with this event - I know I am!
There is no way I could choose which piece - so you decide! They are both fabulous!
Happy OWOH!

They're both stunning!
Greetings, How unique are your giveaways! Count me in please!

and around we go... Your comment about how you found me off a comment I'd left on a Tucson post (OWOH particpant) and so you connected on to me makes me think of my husband's school of fish theory. Like folks travel together...
I also think we're given opportunities to connect to people that touch us and I've always taken advantage of those. It's always been worth it!
Thanks for finding me! I'm going to enjoy looking around your blog.. I just know it!

Hello from Navada! I love your giveaway! Please count me in! Thank you! Keisha
Your art is so beautiful and blends wonderfully with the Native American Spirit, with all the symbols and fluidity. I love both of your offerings, but if I HAD to choose one, I love the "Talking Woman" stick, as I would use it not only for circles with others, but also as a meditative guide.
Please enter my name for a chance to win your giveaway.
Thank you so much and blessings

Those dolls are exactly IT! I enjoyed my visit with you.
Hi Julie!
Your "Spirit Figures" are perfectly named as I can see a special personality in each one...I am particularly drawn to the doll with the hand over her heart as I have a rare disease that caused the death of some bones in my wrist so hand imagery holds special significance for me...please enter me in your giveaway and if you get the opportunity, please visit me & my blog, Lost Coast POst (#455 on the OWOH list)...cheers, Michelle
