Garden and Nature Magic: 08/01/2009

Are there Secrets in your Garden?

Every garden has them!
An antique ornament, a forgotten statue, a hidden bench ..
...a Secret Passageway.. a miniature labyrinth..
or a magical sitting area off in an enclosed corner
only for you!

I love secrets in the garden. I have many!
Some are special rocks placed just so..
some are crystals I hide here and there
only the sunlight speaks to.

In this photo is a special large oval stone from my Sister..

I call it the Dragon's Egg..well, it could be ..couldn't it?
Id like to think so!
It brings a sense of charm every time I see it!

Magic is everywhere and every garden has its own kind!

I'd love to find what secrets others are keeping in their gardens..

...it is my curious nature that sparks me to know!

Every garden has the charm of the hunt for me..

I simply want to explore them all

and see what treasures I will find.

That magic is ever-present in every corner ...everytime.

I hope that magic keeps growing in the Hearts
of everyone's Gardens
I come to know.

Want to know a secret?...find yourself in any garden and simply follow the magic...you will find many, many secrets..some new, some old...but all will be certain to Steal your Heart away and change you forevermore!

Do you feel sparked by the sights and sounds of your studio or workshop?

Do you feel glee at the sight of paint brushes dappled across tables and colorful tubes of paint waiting for expression?

I absolutely feel my soul dance when I see these things.

I am like a child amidst treasures,
and each one holds a different dream!

DREAM
CREATE
BECOME

Whether you have a studio or whether your work-space is simply a small table in the back room..this is a treasured place of creation and spirit, it is where the magic happens.

There are days when all I can think about is canvas, wood, anything..

and what I will paint on it next.

There are times when I love to graze around my supply room and just enjoy the scene of paints, brushes, bottles, old tins and windows, canvas, driftwood, picture frames and whatever else lays in wait!

Every single item will one day "become"..
become what?

Alive!

And that excitement to create life
...in Any "thing"..IS...the pulse of every artist!

To the Creative Spirit..everything has purpose!

Everything can come to life in a new way.

What looks like an old forgotten treasure
can be transformed into something inspiring
A fresh canvas can become the prettiest of paintings..
a piece of driftwood can become a charming character of whimsy.
Wire, beads and crystals..a new treasure..
