In Bloom

This month I am pushing to finish a few new pieces in time for the Art in Bloom Festival at the Woodland Gardens (http://woodlandgardens.ca/index.html)


Its my first year and I will be going with Silas, my friend Jenny (http://www.jennifersartwork.ca/Site/Home.htmland her family. 
April Laurie (http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdancingyarnscarves.etsy.com%2F&h=a5d55may also be vending with us as the third tent in the now forming creative pod. I am really excited to see what its like and share my paintings, prints, new Earthereal Designs and among other new creations. 


I have been working on expanding the Earthereal Design series from the 2008 items I created which were mostly pendants (http://www.concept2creation.ca/imagegallery/Earthereal%20Designs%20(sold)/index.html), adding more elements... there will be more pendants along with new things like brooches, headpieces, earring sets and more. Its been super exciting exploring this jewelry line more as I now have the time to focus on it - I will post pictures in May when the full line is all ready.


Currently I have four new smaller scale paintings on the go. Below is one of a few new smaller in progress... I am finding the more I open myself up to letting the piece happen and surprise me, the more the work exceeds anything that I could have planned or predicted.


I have a few other new things happening, and will reveal them in time. For now I am nurturing them here in my studio and learning so much.


The more I open myself up ... the more I discover new aspects of myself. In exploring emerging and current passions I always have many projects on the go taking me in multiple directions. Living creatively to me means that its never too late to try something new - to inspire and be inspired
