Beautiful Blogger Award

I am a beautiful blogger! Thanks "Debra, she who seeks", I am going to pass this award along to 15 other bloggers as soon as I figure out how to copy that award thingy. But until then thank you so much for thinking of me.

Mystical March Madness

"You can do anything you want to do. What is rare is this actual wanting to do a certain thing: wanting it so much that you are practically blind to all other things, that nothing else will satisfy you." a quote by painter Robert Henri, from his book The Art Spirit. This is a quote I have kept close, because it helps to know that I am not the only crazy person out there. I have always been a creative person, when my cousins were playing with paper dolls I was busy designing my own dolls.

With my bad eyesight I spent time drawing in school so my teachers would think that I was copying the homework from the chalk board. Then after class I would copy the notes from a friend's paper close up. Didn't tell anyone I couldn't see the chalk board, didn't want to be different and now days I strive to be different. Here are a couple of my little altered dolls one for the light side and one for the darker side of my shops at etsy. I thought photographing them on the green would fit in with St. Patrick's day and the madness of March. I started my first shop out with beaded jewelry, but there is a ton of competition out there for jewelry, so I started looking for other things that I could put beads on. The toy section at my favorite Thrift Museums are full of these little "once loved" little dollies just waiting to be loved once again. It's really exciting to know that they are going somewhere to live a new life in another town, state or even another country.

Mystic Accessories

~Magickal Graphics~
Everyone needs Mystic Accessories, medicine bags, bags to carry your most precious of tools or a nice mystical sheath to carry your wand with style. I started out creating unique jewelry pieces from recycled, broken unused jewelry parts and found there to be so much competition that I changed direction. Now everything I look at I wonder how it will look if I dress it up a bit.

I just can't see a wonderful piece of jewelry left to gather dust because of a broken clasp, beads that have lost their color or metal that has seen better days. Each piece was once someone's pride and joy when bought new and each one has been loved and admired at one time. Maybe some day someone will look at me and see the color faded and the charm a little tarnished and will give me another chance to reinvent or reincarnate myself.

Mystical Accessories

I am not sure exactly what I seem to be doing wrong this the last couple of times with my text on my blogs. I thought that if I changed color all would be well again. I have obviously punched the dreaded "What did I do" button and I am going to have to actually read a little to decided what to do next. Please forgive my limited mind. In the meantime the photo here is of a Sheath to keep your most precious wand in, or maybe those favored artist brushes of sable you cherrish.

Wand Sheath

Sweet Dreams

~Magickal Graphics~
Dragons are one of my favorite creatures, seen from a distance of course, they are so magical and strong and can fly. I have been trying to change into a dragon in my Lucid Dreaming experiments lately and have had no luck at all. Then again I should have expected little else because I am afraid of flying in the real world so why should it be much different when I have the remote control and can edit my dreams (sometimes). Better luck next time I guess, and sweet dreams to all.

Club Clutch

I call this a Club Clutch, I'll have to check to see if anyone else is using that term for a small clutch purse which holds the bare minimums and has a chain long enough to go over your shoulder and neck. Just having some fun finding some new things to decorate, alter or reincarnate.

I chose my Oracle Card randomly from a deck of Cards today and chose that ole' Burden Basket Card. I really dislike choosing this card. It seems everyone has a burden basket even you, dear reader. This is where you carry all your worries, burdens and troubles and sometimes even those of others or you allow others to carry your burdens for you. To be more self reliant one must focus on the positive ahead of us rather than what is in our Burden Baskets. Picking this card tells one that they should pay attention if they are focusing too much on their burdens or the burdens of others. It is a good thing to worry about others but you should also allow others to become self reliant and let them carry their own bundles themselves or they will be unable to grow. I really dislike having this card turn up, but I suppose I needed it otherwise it wouldn't have popped up today. Enjoy your day today and don't let that "Burden Basket" get the best of you.

Thanks for your Comments

Thanks Rue and Debra for you continued support and comments. I have been soooo lazy since getting back from my short...too short vacation. I did get a few things finished up, photographed and listed at my shop and now I am starting on some of the driftwood I found. I only brought back small pieces because I don't have that much space to store things. For a little color to add to some of the driftwood pieces I am using food coloring because it just seems to be a more natural thing to use. Driftwood pieces sometimes get a faded washed out look and I really love color.
