Fairy Tree Trinkets

For the past two years we have decorated the weeping peach tree (we call it the fairy tree) in our backyard with things that make a fairy wonderland that we call our Fairy Village. I'm so ready for spring to come so I can attach these newly crafted trinkets to the branches and invite the fairies to come and play. I also have some stained glass trinkets and clay ornaments that we've made that I'm eager to install.

Here are photos of the decorated fairy tree in past years:

Light Language Art on 22" Frame Drum

I am preparing this drum for the Nashville Star Knowledge Conference where I will be presenting a light language activation play-shop on Sept 18. We will be drumming for spiritual awakening in humanity.

The codes vary like the dialects of spoken language. They are spiritual or cosmic frequencies (sacred geometry) that give instructions to the DNA, body, emotions, etc. like what binary code does for a computer.

Sepia-toned Light Language Art Piece

This is a bit different--more pictorial--than the codes or symbols that I normally write in light language. I saw this one in my mind's eye before I actually started painting.

Typically, when I write symbols in light language, it is a form of automatic writing in which my hand moves of its own accord and I cannot predict what the next stroke of the pen will create. I know these symbols carry energy and information, but so far, I've not interpreted much of my own writing unless I'm giving a reading in light language. Other people have given interpretations about what it means to them.

I think the beauty of light language, like any other artistic expression, surpasses the logical mind and goes straight to the heart or soul of the one viewing it. Therefore it has limitless interpretations.

As I was filling in the background spaces on this one, I noticed different light language symbols forming. I have not seen many of them in my normal code writing. These felt mathematical, like I was opening up a new level of binary language. I still do not get interpretations for these codes, but they are fun to create.

Painting Abstracts and Inner Guidance

Beauty is not found in perfection. It is found in creating joy.

I usually paint abstracts by moving the brush and seeing what happens. I started this one using circle patterns and measuring with a ruler because that is what my inner guidance suggested. I felt so frustrated erasing and doing the lines again only to find that they were not exactly straight or equal in proportion.

I quit halfway through the sketch and went to watch a movie. I had to get off my feet—I'd been standing for more than an hour trying to “get it right.” I came back later and was going to put away the mess when my guidance suggested I draw the inner part of the circles free hand.

“The proportions will not be perfect,” I argued.

“Exactly!”

“They won’t be exact.”

“Do you want beauty and joy or perfection and frustration?”

No brainer. I put away the ruler and drew what came to me. I started relaxing and enjoying the process. Here is how it turned out. I call it "Pretty Imperfect."

More Light Language Art

This one has galactic code and a triple goddess symbols.

The sacred feminine pours her essence into the womb or challis of creation. The sacred masculine unites with her and drinks her amrita (divine nectar) and is set afire with love for her. This represents the divine marriage within each of us; we are made in the image of our creator that is both male and female.

Earth letting go of her old paradigm of God in a box, worship of money, and greedy business practices in order to unite with the cosmic understanding of oneness and birth a new paradigm of love and community.

Fairy Party

This summer I decorated an area of my yard and designated it as a fairy garden. I had some friends over for a fairy party and we dressed up and made merry. Here are a few photos of the fun we had.

My son sent me the musical piece below and asked if anyone could actually play it. I think only the fairies with fingers that move as fast as hummingbird wings would be able to play that song!

Kinky, Bouncy, Out of Control

This piece was created for my dear friend and neighbor, Amenreu Sean. It represents things that remind me of him and some good times we've shared. 

All Things Randy

This eclectic piece is for Randy and it features things that represent him and his interests.

Painting of a Male Angel

Vickie and I have been painting again. She got an order for a commissioned work of a male angel so we decided that would be our theme for the week. Here is my completed piece.

There's just something irresistible about a man who meditates or does yoga. This male angel does both!

Dragonfly Moon

This one was created about 2010. It's called Dragonfly Moon.

Sketches of My Grandkids

These are sketches I did for my son's and daughter's children last year.

Painting with Vickie Part 3

Still a work in progress but I decided to share it anyway.

Painting Day with Vickie

On Friday,my friend, Vickie B. Majors, and I painted together again. We had a great time sharing our artistic energy.I completed the painting I started last week. It's called "Inspiraled."

And, I completed our tree of life themed painting. Mine is called "Orbit-Tree."

Painting Day with a Friend

I admire the artistic talent of my friend Vickie B. Majors. I had the honor of painting with her last Friday. We decided to have a theme for the session.We chose spirals because they represent the never ending cycle of life and the ever-expanding consciousness of creation. Goddess energy!

Although my piece titled "Inspiraled" is not finished, I'll post it here as a work in progress.Vickie and I are painting together again tomorrow and our theme is the Tree of Life.

While I Had the Paint Out . . .

I need art for the living room, which has been repainted teal and pumpkin. I bought canvases on sale at Joanne Fabrics and started painting. Here is the first of five new ones that I plan to hang over the mirror on the sofa wall. That wall is 18 feet in height and is perfect as an art gallery.

Now the Kitchen Has Been Repainted

Well, you know you can't paint one room and not the one that adjoins it. That's what my husband told me. I learned that he really didn't like the soft blue we had in the kitchen and was waiting for me to give him the signal to change it! Who knew?

And More of the Living Room Redo...

The front and back walls of the living room are Intense Teal SG 490 by Behr. The fireplace wall and sofa wall are marmalade glaze UL120-B also by Behr.

 

I made throw pillow for the sofa from the same fabric I used as a topper for the drapes.

I also used this fabric for the adjoining eat-in kitchen. Photos of the kitchen coming soon.

Living Room Redo

We wanted to repaint our living room for several years now but choosing a paint color and getting the inspiration for design kept holding me back--the actual labor of such a chore was also a factor. A few weeks ago I was writing in a journal my daughter gave me and noticed how lovely the pumpkin and teal are together. Kind of has a retro vibe yet modern too. So I had my inspiration. Next I had to convince my husband that these colors would turn out well and not darken the room too much.

 Here is the before photo. Very light and airy in 2008 when we installed the cutouts and the paint was still somewhat new. But the paint color was fading and showing wear, especially on the lower part.

BEFORE

AFTER

I'm not sure why it matters if a room is dark. We have lamps and electricity!The color is so vibrant in daytime and warm in the evenings.

I'll post more photos of the rest of the room tomorrow.

Oh, by the way, the blue is called Intense Teal SG 490 by Behr. The pumpkin color is marmalade glaze UL120-B

The Case of the Disappearing Red Worms

My red worms are gone!  Vanished! Vamoose!

My red worm compost had been established for three months or longer, and I had hundreds of worms thriving in the perfect situation. Two weeks ago I brought them into the house because the outdoor temperature was in triple digits and I was concerned that the plastic bin I had them in would get too hot on the back porch.

I fed the worms last week as I typically do on Fridays and everything seemed fine. I didn't dig to see how the worms were doing, but when I popped the lid, two soldier flies rushed out. I thought something might be amiss then, but I didn't dig into the layers to see what was going on. Wish I had!

Today I gently stirred the top layer as I added more food and noticed that the food I put in last week was still there. So, I stirred a little deeper and still didn't see any worms. I stirred all the way to the bottom of the bin turning and turning the layers and only found two worms--babies that had probably just arrived from eggs.

Since they can't get out of the snap-tight bin, I assume the worms died, but why? The food I fed them had been stored outdoors and I think it must have developed a bacteria that killed the worms. Either that, or they got a virus from the computer paper I used as bedding--get it? computer virus, worm virus. Not funny, I know, but I hate that I killed a thriving colony of red worms that I paid more than $30 for and had tended so lovingly for all these months.

Butterfly Bush

Such a beauty and the butterflies really do love it!
