A Little Fun in the Sun

I set myself up outside on the deck on this glorious sun-filled day t0 complete some "Impressions of Nature" pins. I also put the next-to-the-last touches on the latest round of angels and demons, and started work on some special requests. I puttered in the gardens and in my art journal too.

Then I popped open an ale and made dinner.

That's what I made today. How about you?

A Little This, A little That

Today, among other things, I made progress on the next three "Impressions of Nature" ACEO and made three new feline "Figures of Love." There was more ... and still more to be ...

Ghosts

A few more little demons (or are they angels?) made manifest today. I followed up on an inspiration that came to me in the gardens yesterday - "Impressions of Nature" ACEOs. So now the demons and ACEOs will dry in their own time, and they'll tell me when they're ready for paint.

I was working on these on the deck and heard a woman's voice from in the hut (or the front door). She wasn't calling me by name, but she was calling for me. She got my attention and she still has it. I'm still waiting to know who it is and what I can do for them, or what I need to know, or whatever.

That's what I made today.

Figures of Love

I finished the final layers, signed and sealed my latest little angels and demons. It seems they took forever to complete, eh? I am happy with the outcome and thank The Boy for the inspiration to create the little demons. I 'll be listing them in my ArtFire studio over the coming days.

The Most of a Sunny Day

Today was a mostly sunny day - the first one in weeks, and I made my way into the garden to face facts. Many - if not most - of the seedlings that were put in or sprouted in the past 2-3 weeks are no more. Several of my peppers are in question as well, yet most of the tomatoes seem fine enough. I did more transplanting and put in more seeds and offered blessings yet again. I harvested another half-pound of Melissa to start the infusion for my next batch of Melissa mead - one to make up for the "bad situation" batch the other day. Halley liberated herself and upon her return I hosed her down and then chilled on the late afternoon deck to enjoy the last bottle of our Hopped Porter Variation that I humorously labeled "HPV." Well - I think it's funny. This was one of the best dark ales we've ever made and I savored every drop.

My latest little "Figures of Love" were finally fully dry and I started painting the first layers. Today I cleaned earth and paint from under my nails. Today I made the most of a sunny day.

More of the Same, Only Different

There is a static energy around me these days and I am doing what I am able to manage it (without actually throwing him out of the hut). My morning derailed and I ended up skirting my duties, missing already-late deadlines, picking ripe strawberries in the rain and playing with clay. Now I'm off to burn a bit of sage and wander the hut with my healing drum.

Four-Leggeds & Winged-Ones

An afternoon clay meditation offered me a summer bird to honor this first day of summer and from there the clay used my hands to make other Figures of Love. I worked on other figures and even finished and listed a new Pocket Goddess. That's what I made today, on this first day of summer.
