My inspiration comes life experiences and nature. (Shaun McNiff-Art Heals) In the photos tab….

"The medicines of art are not confined within fixed borders.Wherever the soul is in need, art presents itself as a resourceful healer". In 'Completed Pieces' album I post pieces that I have finished

'Creations in Print' album is where you will find the pieces that I have digitalized and available prints 🙂

Thank you for taking a look and sharing in my creative journey 💗

And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul”

John Muir

The little bits of moss, lichen and birch bark in these pieces have been gathered while out forest roaming. I love to pause and get up close to the small details. There is so much to see, to take in, when we slow down and really pay attention to Mother Nature’s little treasures.

Companies coming so I’ll soon be taking a break from creating. Soooo, I’m finishing up the last few pieces before getting to the house clean up! 🤣

Land and sea, they are beautiful elements for inspiration when creating.

From my art table ….
I’m spending time with forest treasures. Bits of the earth that I gathered while roaming , off the beaten path, in White Bay, NL.

Pausing to pay attention to the small details and getting up close to the moss and lichen gives a new perspective. It inspires my creativity, sometimes little bits find their way home with me.

Those pieces have been wondering when they will become jewelry creations 😁

Stay tuned! I’m working on it 😉

I love Bottle Cove. It’s a place that is both magical and sacred for me. Meandering along the water’s edge feels calming and nurturing, feeds my soul and inspires my creativity. I often return home with bits of beach treasures in my pockets.

I created this pendant with bits of those little beach finds.

My morning vibes so far …
the newest additions to my seascape jewelry collection 🙂

I do love being sitting beside the ocean gazing out over the water. The rhythmic movement and light glimmers on the water are soul food. Good for my heart, body and mind. For me, it’s one of the most peaceful places to be.

Do you have a soul food space in nature?

sooo, the story is ….
I've been working of the write-up part of this piece today. Truth be told, I like this bit the least. Anywhooo, while I was working on this piece I was thinking light, movement, flow and how to create it in an image. I was a tad bit frustrated. Couldn't get things to go the way I wanted, couldn't get the colours to work out. Too many layers, too much colour, too much blending, no not this, or that … you get the gist of it! And I needed to get this one finished. Otherwise it may have found it's way to the pile in the corner! 🤣

Today with the write-up, comes the naming. The word up front and center, STRUGGLE! 🤣 t'is a far cry from light and movement me thinks. Maybe that's because I'm remembering the struggle creating it and I'm struggling to find words today 🤷🏼‍♀️

Long story short, this one is called Reflections.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it! 🤣

Perhaps the struggle led me to reflections? It's food for thought.

I’m thinking they are looking pretty sweet!

Fun fact …

Icebergs start their journey in Greenland’s west coast where the glaciers calve into the ocean. They then travel with the Labrador current down the coast traversing over to Newfoundland.

The glacial ice that creates icebergs was formed during the last ice age. Just think, mammoths may have walked on those majestic beauties floating along our shores
