...... more smalls

Abundant Spirit

The Wind

1000 French Kisses

I think you can tell I am really enjoying creating small figures with spirit...

In order to hang at the Timberline Small Wonders show nothing can be larger than 10"....I have a large stash of bits and pieces of fabric and other special little bits of this and that.....
these little spirits allow me to use them....
so as long as they keep talking to me, I will keep making them...


I'm going to be at the Mind Shop Bookstore in Oakhurst from 11am-4pm on Saturday the 10th...I'll have some of the smalls with me. I'm going to bring some clay to make masks with....You can make one too.

I'll be sharing space with the enchanting and talented joAnn Burgess, I collect her wonderful pixel angels...and the enchanting and talented water colorist Vicki Thomas...Come and see us if you can!

....Small Wonders

Art Hop for the Small Wonders show at Timberline Gallery in Oakhurst is this Saturday. We really do have over 100 pieces of art, 10 inches and under, for $100 and under...lot's of art way under $100, from some very cool artists...Kathleen Maddox, Anita Stoll, Carolyn Hartling, Valerie Runningwolf, David Caris, jacqueline Kurt (you have to see her music boxes), and me, to mention a few...this is a great time to buy for gifts, or to add to or start a collection...So stop by and check out the gallery.

I'll be there from 1pm til 4pm and would love to see you...hug, hug

.......and on a lighter, brighter note

During art hop at the Mind Shop last month someone asked me when I was going to do another Shaman...

This is what I got when I asked if one was ready to come forward.
The mask still needs work and I'm adding to the coils, but I think he is coming along...the body is almost ready to receive it's head. So depending on what else life serves up this piece should be done in a few days...

me listening......

As an add bonus, Kim Haley-Remmers, friend and curator of the show read tarot cards...I pulled Temperance and the Princess of Swords....we weren't able to finish the reading and I haven't taken the time to research the cards myself, so feel free to share any insights you might have....

2nd Saturday Art Hop, Sacred Sunday.....

Griz, Viv & Me....

I missed posting for Sacred Sunday, my brain just wouldn’t snap to and help me write….Being an artist is a solitary thing and when I go out into a space where I talk a lot it zaps my brain for a day or two, lol….

Even though I didn’t post last night I think I'll still do a Sacred Sunday post…Three things came up hugely for me this weekend….once again friendship….

That’s what Art Hop was all about…I spent the day with friends!!
It was a really fun and rewarding day…People did come, they did like what they saw (although I overheard a man telling his wife that my Spirit Figures look, “like aliens”, I guess he’s more right then wrong). We both sold some art and that is a very, very, nice validation …

.I sit here to write this and I immediately go to gratitude for the moments I was part of on Saturday. A lot of laughter, gift giving, people came with gifts for us us (me & Viv)!! And we had gifts for them….there was some soul to soul talk, and lot’s of hugs and kisses…We are a friendly group, artists and art lovers….I think you get the idea that I’m really, truly feeling happy and blessed with the way the way Second Saturday Art Hop went….It was a sacred day……

.....art hop Saturday

Tomorrow is 2nd Saturday Art Hop here in the Sierra Foothills...I'm not sure, but I think there are ten galleries and various businesses who participate. I'll be showing with my art buddy Vivian Helena aumond capone ....mixed fiber artist, gourd artist, jewelry maker and quilter, at the Mind Shop which is a part of the Positive Living Center In Oakhurst

I always get a little nervous about shows and such....Who will come?....Will anyone come?....If they come, will they like what they see?

insecurities alive & well...thank you very much.


Then on the positive side there are people I think are coming who I haven't seen in a very long time....so that makes me happy....

And the book store is filled with positive thought books so the vibe is very, very good...and the show does look good....Vivian's art, and my art, look really nice together...makes for a very colorful show.
I'll take pictures.
