morning practice

Morning practice is how I begin each day. It is a way to bridge my night dreaming, fresh morning energy and outlook to the rest of my day. It is both journaling and pure play with my favorite "signature" things as well as elements that have caught my interest and/or speak to me. It has become an important hub around which my creativity turns and a potent creative tool. Morning practice is optimally a daily practice (like yoga) of creating a meditative environment - an oasis of peace, clarity and intention... sinking (relaxing) into the sensual moment and the timelessness of play resulting in a mandala-like assemblage that can be documented...

playing sandwich magic

on his first day

of winter break

my sunshiney son

played sandwich magic with me

(practicing oz workshops)

we have collaborated in many ways

over the years

he always amazes me

by following his own path

and discovering his very own

intuitive surprises

today was no exception

air and angels

I am a compulsive

little book maker

keeping lists,

wabi sabi notes

and cryptic word bites

in and on loose folios

we are in the days

of occasional brilliant sunshine

coupled with deep cobalt shadows

I sometimes allow myself

the luxury of just looking and BEing

no pictures

just a sense of here-ness

and the ever fleeting now

in this talisman of the quest...

heart, hat and apron

and from the heartland

heartstrings

and ties that bind

happy dreaming

a new hat

a new apron

lots of new snow

and loving being silly

with my son behind the camera

he's good

heart songs

hand stitched heart

made with eucalyptus dyed wool and silk

packed solid with aromatic lavender

ready to hang from a silk ribbon

resting on a bed of red rose petals

housed in a beautiful moon over water embellished box

with special tea and sweet surprises

celebrate the songs of the heart...

here, here and here

... temptation on a ruby Tuesday

contour of a heart

it looks like this today

a few days ago it looked like this

meanwhile, I am dreaming these colors

and meandering around

the contours of my heart

eb immersion, lake house workshops...

Come enjoy the bird song, the gliding ferry and sailboats while creating magic on the shores of Lake Champlain. Using the four elements of earth, air, fire and water; we will learn a variety of techniques with which to collaborate with natural processes. We will make marks, imprints and patterns with tea, rust, leaves, seeds and blossoms on fabric and paper. We will wander the beach and gather drift wood, stripeys and holy stones with which to embellish our creations. In this workshop we will explore mark making on fabric and paper using tea, rust, eucalyptus, indigo and asemic writing. As we dance across the color wheel I will share my techniques and thoughts about the potency of deep play and meditative creativity. Bring your boundless curiosity, a playful spirit and a beginner's mind - we will adventurously explore new frontiers.
