I have said it before and I shall say it again, Mother Nature never ceases to amaze me. She is an endless source of inspiration and subject matter to fertilize the ingenious mind. She provides an endless array of materials to work with from natural paint dyes, materials for texture, clay materials, stone, etc, etc. She provides simple lighting to change visual perspectives and emotional inflections with lightening, bright sun, to a sunset rosy glow She provides a plethora of sounds for the innovative musician with pattering of rain, birds chirping melodiously at sunrise and dusk, the roar of an avalanche, whisper of the breeze or bull elephant in full charge mode. Mother Nature has orchestrated a world of amazement for our inspiration and bliss. Mother Nature,j or Gaia (Mother Earth) as I prefer to call her, is our Provider. It only stands to reason that She would bestow us with everything we need for the meaning of life and its’ expression.

Crafting Video Tutorials Index
I am always looking for fresh new ideas in craftwork. Unfortunately, this can be rather time consuming. Therefore, I decided to make a list of various craft sites with video tutorials. This will make things easier than wallowing through search engines ever time. Search engines are fantastic but can bring up a lot of unrelated items that you are not exactly what you are looking for. So, making a web page with lists just makes life a whole lot simpler for me and hopefully you. Bookmark the page and you will have it at your finger tips as well.

Frustrations Turned to Crafting Inspiration
Some days flow so easily knowing just what to do, how to do and the best sequence in obtaining the goal. Other days are a jumbled hodge podge of drama and mishap. What to do….what to do…. 
One seems to lose track putting everything as a priority resulting running around in chaos getting nothing done at all.
There are days when simply crawling out of bed is a major challenge. Insomnia does strange things to the psyche. Sleep deprivation or stress. Either way, the day is a doozy. So a good nights rest is very import for the creative juices to flow and grabbing success by the horns! Continue reading “Frustrations Turned to Crafting Inspiration”
Day 5 – Uncle Wiggily and Rejuvenation
Been painting most of the day. Working on a large rabbit that looks like Uncle Wiggily. That rabbit is very precious to me, as I grew up reading Uncle Wiggily and playing the Uncle Wiggily board game. All day has been a grand walk down Memory Lane.
I was raised in Amherst, Massachusetts on Sunset Avenue. Around the corner on Amity Street lived Howard Garis. Who is Howard Garis, you ask. He was the wonderful man who wrote all the Uncle Wiggily books and many other stories. Of all the stories, I loved Uncle Wiggily most. Uncle Wiggily was a gentlemanly rabbit with rheumatism. He had many different friends and a few foes with names that were as quirky as his own. The books related various adventures with his quirky animal friends and fantastic escapes from a few mischievous critters. Just so much fun to read in childhood.
