No Greater Bliss

My head has been spinning with to-do's.

and thats ok.

I'm happy and excited with so many things going on behind the scenes...

but every once in a while

I just want to create...

With

No intention.

No requirements.

No guidelines.

&

No deadlines.

Just me and my floating idea.

that comes to life through the tips of my fingers

 

while I sweetly hum to myself

my "happy in the moment" little tune.

I am thankful for these moments.

for there is no greater bliss.

Just leave me a comment and I will pick a winner for one of my new soldered bobbin inspired pendants on May 7th.

As always,
thank you so much for stopping by

My Dream Catcher

A dream catcher as in the Native American Culture, is a handmade object based on the willow hoop, believed to protect the sleeping individual from negative dreams, while letting positive dreams through.

Dream: To some, a wild fancy or hope,one that is exceptionally gratifying, excellent, or beautiful in a dream state.

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/

But why isn't it a Dream Catcher,not for those only that are asleep,but awake to?

Why should something that wonderful be only for those that are asleep?

I like to think of my positive night-time dreams as coming forth, gradually into being.

They stretch out, unhurriedly, floating near us, fluttering, like the butterfly, singing a happy song with the music it makes as it's wings gently glide across the sky.

Yes,my dream catcher...

drifts near my ear,whispering sweet lullaby's.

Enter each day with the expectation that the happenings

of the day may contain a clandestine message addressed

to you personally.  Expect omens, epiphanies, casual

blessings, and teachers who unknowingly speak to your

condition.  -Sam Keen

If only we had smellavision or smellaphoto...

my Confederate Jasmine has me singing for joy..

and last night before heading off to bed...

I sat for a while and enjoyed the company of the

glittering Moon. It's wrapped its loving arms around me,cradling me in sweet lullaby's...

and the other day my friend Cyndi helped me along with fine tuning my DVD cover for my

upcoming class "Stencil Frame Pendant & Necklace"..

I'm very excited to be producing my first dvd..woo-hoo...

and ever since I took the wonderful class with Barbara Lewis I have been trying to figure out a way to add my personal touch to enamel.

This Sweet heart is covered in Orient Red Enamel,rub-on's and Resin.

ooh la-la

Now you know what time it is...

"Dream" & Sweet Diane

I had so much fun playing with these wonderful wood hearts from ArtchixStudio.

I added a layer of resin and then sprinkled on delicious pink glitter.It spreads out evenly over the resin when you apply it...

I also added some resin wings on each side for added texture.

The bottom section of the heart has an image from the Dreaming in White Collage sheet found in the shop

Next I added warm brown trim to the side and mounted it to a bed of muslin.

Finishing it off with wire,vintage trim,metal button and a rusty key.

Thank you sweet Helga for bringing back the fun in mixed media and for lovely offerings to play with.xoxo
