Happy Penniversary -Pen Pals

In celebration of a year, really almost one and a half years, my pen pals and I decided to gift each other with some cool art in honor of our bond through letter writing.

Gathering Energy To Go Forward

New/Old Furniture- My Latest Interior design

Happy halloween and on this magical day!! I feel as though I have made my home a little more enchanting with the addition of this very cool antique furniture to warm my cottage. I am looking forward to hanging out and reading and having tea in this room through the cold and rainy days of fall and winter.

This is my offering for the Monday Creative Exchange!

Pen Pals Rock

For over a year I have been exchanging the most inspiring letters, art and gifts with six incredible women that I met on Facebook, who says that nothing good comes out of social sites. I have received some cool creations this week.

When I opened this box from Janine I found a wonderful letter and this fabulous art and inspirational words on the walls of the box.

Meditation is the name of this piece by pen pal Marilyn who lives in the U.K.

Soraya sent me this Goddess painting.

Soraya also made this powerful mandala which I activated today while my son watched on in surprise. Also on this altar is a leather cuff bracelet made by the newlywed husband Rasta Asaru of my pen pal Tomeekha. And that cute little rattle was also made by Soraya.

Soraya is working on creations for an upcoming show and, she just did her first book cover, hooray!

Last weekend my son-in-law delivered two new 60x48 canvases, so I am ready to sit down and created something after receiving so much creative inspiration this week from my rocking pen pals!

52 Photos Project- Week 23

This week's photo prompt is called along the fence and I found out that I have taken many photos of fences and these are some that I like. This church is in Bodega, Ca. just across the way from the schoolhouse that was used in the movie, "The Birds," directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

A beautiful old fence and entrance in Bolinas.

This is also in Bolinas, Ca. and normally I can go around this fence and walk along the beach, but not this day.

This was taken in the beautiful coastal town of Mendocino, Ca.

Black and White Photography is Magical

As much as I love color in my life, I dress in very colorful clothing, my home is a collage of all colors and patterns and most of my photos have loads of color in them, there is still something so magical about black and white film photos. When I look at these photos, there is a story waiting to unfold. I took these on my recent road trip along the California coast.

Shadow Shot Sunday

I missed shadow shot Sunday last week because I was on a trip and forgot to bring my USB cord in order to download photos from my camera so here is my contribution for this Sunday.
