Gaian Retreat

October 10, 2011

meadow within magical circle of trees

bumped into another lady out walking in the woods

green and red leaves seen through the branches of the apple tree I was sitting in

Mmmmm… so nice to be in the forest, by the creek, in the meadow on such a warm sunny fragrant Thanksgiving week-end.

Waking in the morning to see a beautiful, graceful woman doing Tai chi outside my window and a deer standing close by watching her in curiosity.

Sharing real feelings with a community of like-hearted people.

Like the nut-collecting chipmunks and squirrels around me.. gathering enough warmth and sunshine to last the whole winter.

Making heartfelt connections with the dear women(and man) who took home my creations.. goddess bracelets, tarot bags, pendulums, pendants.

To Bev and James.. thank you for conceiving of this and bringing it to juicy fruition. To Joanna… you were just as warm and wonderful as the weather.  To all the presenters… you were inspired and it rubbed off on us.  To my room-mate… Yay you!

And to Maria, who came all the way from Kingston to babysit Francine… thank you thank you thank you.. couldn’t have done it without you.

There are both silver and gold and silver and gold plated charms included, fabulous beads and baubles and a whole lot of Goddess medicine in each one.

Death at the Costume Banquet

May 3, 2011

Sweet Death behind the veil

First of all… try as I may I cannot seem to change the wild way my type came out.. sorry!

The Readers studio was, once again, a wonderful experience!

I went to the ‘come as a tarot card’ banquet as the Death card.. Scythe in hand.

Lady Death unveiled

Wanna die in my arms?

Death finds her 'Place'

Made some new friends, learned some new (tarot) tricks and sold a lot of my goodies.
the 3 muses

Sandwiched between Joanna Powell Colbert & Beth Owl’s Daughter and the Tarot Garden in the Merchants Faire was both delightful and profitable!… so much so that now I must get back to work big-time to create more tarot bags, pendulums and jewellery.  It is my pleasure!

Thank you, Readers Studio, for hosting the best time in NYC!

Goddess Bracelets

April 13, 2011

Aphrodite.. ain't she sweet!

Laksmi and all her glorious abundance

Venus.. circa 1955!

Yemaya..Water Mother with silver dolphin, jade fish...

Busy, busy creating for my table in the Mercants Faire at Readers Studio in NYC.. only a couple of weeks away now!
These bracelets are dedicated to individual goddesses. I call upon and work with the medicine of that goddess as I design each one.  And so.. they are infused, not only with beauty, but also with each goddess’ energy!
I’ve also been making special bags to hold the bracelets and the medicine beads. If you search for ‘bags’ and ‘pouches’ on my site.. you will find so many different styles and sizes.. bringing tiny bags for tiny decks this year too.
