Happy Valentines day!

I originally made this and told my husband it was for him - he said "too girlie!"
So then I came up with this ...

And then...

I've been doing a lot of digital stuff lately because my studio looks like this...

New, built in shelves! I'm sweeping up sawdust and rearranging stuff. Isn't time for spring cleaning?

It's been a while...

After being torn from my creative life by the "grim world of the day job" I slowly feel some creativity returning. I'm taking an online class called Hello Soul Hello Business which is certainly helping to refocus on what's important - my art! We were asked to envision our business as a person and the lady above is my vision. May I introduce you to Amaranthine Violet? She's sitting next to a lily pond for reflection, with flowers for delight. There's a flowering tree in the background, with roots in the ground and branches that reach high; the Divine Mother guides and protects and a butterfly is the agent transformation. All very symbolic right now, but dreams are the stuff out of which reality is made!
