Handmade Solstice Standing Stone Yule Cards!

Hello folks  -  I decided this year - rather than order cards with my

designs on for Yule, I'd craft some unique creations all of my own! 

These are the first ones made - lovely Solstice Standing Stones

Yule/Christmas cards.

The print is mounted on luxury recycled and spangle-y heavyweight

paper, and the cards themselves measure approx 8X6'.

For more info please visit my etsy page: http://www.etsy.com/listing/86882879/winter-solstice-stones-handmade-card

More cards coming soon!! :)

Solstice Stones

Yule Card Artwork for 2011


This year more than ever I've spent amazing, valuable and blessed time in sacred places and stone circles; Stonehenge, Avebury, Duddo, Newgrange, The Hurlers, Beaghmore and others have served as teachers, healers, and places to feel connected to the magic in the land.


When I sit and watch/sketch the stones I always see their sparks, their energy moving out in waves, connecting each stone to each other, sending out, taking in information... 


With this drawing - which is a mixture of various places, I can hear the quiet of a snowy twilight, the sounds of snow flakes softly pattering to the ground.  


I feel that if I open my mouth, I could almost taste the snow flakes on my tongue. 


I can feel the cold snow surrounding my boots as I wade through the snow to approach these stones.


There's a tension, almost like bells jingling in the air - heralding the beautiful solstice moment.


Solstice = Standstill.


The Sun sets on the shortest day, to be reborn a new.

My First Handmade Art Pendants!

Afternoon all,  this here is my first handmade art pendant I've created (yes I did try one earlier - but lets say that me, the glue and the ink had a small falling out!). I'm still wearing this at the moment as I love it! a little Steam Punk Kitty necklace is exactly what a girl needs to get her Tuesday going off with a bang! :)


I'm just perfecting my technique in making these necklaces and experimenting with some ideas, but fear not! I will have some for sale very shortly.


Have  a good Tuesday!
:)

The Time Travelling Gentle-Kitty...

Where am I now? 

Cobweb asks eagerly.

'In a time that never was, 

And a time that never will be...'

Where do I go?

Enquires the Cat thoughtfully.

'On an airship to the future

Which leaves at quarter past 3...'

At last we have a decent scan of this time travelling gentle-kitty... :)

Where will he travel to next?

Painting and words by me, 2011. :)

The Wild Hunt

New Painting - The Wild Hunt...


The Wild Hunt is a spectre which rides across the sky every Samhain (Halloween). It's a night of wild abandon and freedom, where the world of the living meets the otherworld of the fae and the ancestors...

This is a painting I did after a Shamanic Journey where I saw, and was part of the Wild Hunt... I tried to recapture the feeling as well as I could with this painting. When I was working on this more and more animals wanted to join in - so it became quite a party!

For anyone interested there are prints available on Etsy...http://www.etsy.com/listing/85813785/the-wild-hunt
