Where did August go?

Nearly 2 weeks into September already!! I'm sure time is speeding up.... and no, i'm not accepting that it's just an age thing, lol. But... I do have a theory on this... I reckon time moves in a spiral and we are moving closer to the centre. As we, and time, get further in we spiral faster. Perhaps when we get to the centre, the spiral will start to spring out again & time will gradually move slower?! Anyway, that was not what I was going to write about.

I didn't do a deep & meaningful new moon 'meet me at the water' ritual... though I was thinking about it all day... just a gentle connection, thinking about 'flow'. I never got a post written for the Festival of Trees, though I thought about it, and will no doubt post my pics & thoughts anyway sometime soon. I haven't done any of the projects set by Caterina in her Transfer Love course... but i have watched 2 of the videos... she gives soooo much information, which i have absorbed & will try... I heartily recommend this course to anyone remotely interested in learning about or improving transfer techniques.

But... I have been working furiously on several other projects simultaneously... a couple more canvasses, reworkings of this & this... backgrounds & lettering to make up some collage packs for crafters, and, inspired by Cat's course, lettering suitable for using in transfers. These are taking a fair chunk of time, scanning & testing & re-working etc, but should have some available for willing volunteers to trial before I launch them... do you know anyone??!!

On the photography front I've been doing a lot of moondreamin' and have been working on an idea to present some of my images for sale... these i will definitely show you soon, now that I think I've figured a way to varnish over them that I'm happy with for what I want to do... I will seek your opinion soon!

I've also felt the need to re-connect with a few people here & there... I do tend to veer between feeling pretty sociable to withdrawing into my own little world where i exist quite happily on my own... it's that old chestnut about balance... and time... and i do agree with the theory that time expands to fit what you have to do... i seem to have put in more hours everywhere in less time somehow. That time spiral I was on about seems to bounce up & down I reckon, stretching & contracting as necessary... cos when i have 'nothing' to do I still don't have 'spare' time, if you know what I mean... boredom is not a feeling I am familiar with, nor do I want to be!

I am thankful for the ideas & inspiration and the opportunities that flow... may you also be inspired & be blessed with opportunities... love suzi x

Peace, Joy, Give...


Three little words.... run them around in your mind... over and over....
peace... joy... give....


The joy of breathing, creating... friendship,
peace... joy... give....
keep running them around, circling in your mind
joy... give... peace....
imagine you are holding them in your hands...


 peace of mind... peace in your heart... peace in the world...
joy... give... peace....
let them form a circle,
a continuous blessing...
give... peace... joy...
flowing out to the world from your hands...


give a blessing... give love... give friendship...
give... peace... joy...
does your heart swell with joy as you give out peace?
peace... joy... give.... 
does it bring you peace to give out joy? 
joy... give... peace....
can you feel them them circling through your body?
can you feel the energy emanating out to the world?


I could certainly feel the energy in this little bowl
when I held it in my hands...
a gift I am honoured to receive from Barry, of Rust n Stuff
I urge you to go & see the 'stuff' that he does with metal!



"I wanted to do a trifold because of the spiritual significance 
that is often connected to the number 3 and the triangle; "

This is what Barry wrote in this post... I did not know then, 
that I would shortly be holding it in my hands... 
neither did he know that I had thought 'mmm, 
a three-fold one would be nice'!
B... it is so much more than nice.... thankyou x

A Copper Sun...


I've just finished a couple of canvasses with calligraphy, which you can see here if you like!
