Working on Art Today
Spent today at home. Working on some art in progress and embellishing a Touch Drawing from last month. Experimenting really with oil pastels and beads and Modge Podge. Decided that I needed a circular saw, but would rather just get a friend to cut the pieces I need. Sharp, rotating blades in my hands are [...]

Authority, Betrayal, and Art
I have always had a love/hate relationship with authority. Tell me that I can’t do something, and I am very likely to do just that because you have no authority over me. However, people with authority (like the police, my boss, teachers, and my mom) tend to scare me a bit. I worry about how [...]
Nexus Deis
Our connection (nexus) to the Divine (deis) lies close to our heartbeat, burns with a holy fire, and allows us to soar. I honor and cherish the Divine within you and the connection between us. Namaste. digital collage created by Angela Raincatcher
New Jewelry
I’ve spent several days indoors with the Great Mid-Atlantic Snowpocalypse of 2010. After messing around some and doing some work from home, I got down to being creative. I pulled out all my beads, got reacquainted with them, and made three necklaces. The one above is my Woodland Faerie Queen necklace, which I’m offering for [...]
Drawing What Makes Us Unconfortable
I’m linking this post to the one right before. I think they make sense together, but what do I know. This last weekend, I participated in a workshop, Awakening Creativity Through Spiritual Practice, taught by Sylvan at Reflections Mystery School. You know you’re in trouble when your response to a trance is, “Whoa! Deep! F**k!” The [...]

Looking at this is [...]
More Colors of Santa Fe
While in New Mexico last month, I got a bit crazy purchasing beads for making jewelry this winter.
Colors of New Mexico
There are two very sensual things about New Mexico that will always stay in my memory. The taste of chiles at every meal and the colors I found all around me. A curtain of marigolds next to some old wooden doors arranged outside a little shop in Taos. Storm clouds over Highway 68 driving from [...]
Rejection Letter
Earlier this month, I put in a proposal to create an art shrine for Ofrenda, Art for the Dead, a show in Alexandria during Halloween weekend. I didn’t have anything already created to enter, so I wrote up a short proposal and sent them some images of past shrines I have created. Last night, I [...]
