Witches for Sale!

At last I can share my exciting news!!!

Some of my illustrative artwork is now available to buy as cards and prints on the wonderful Slippery Jacks website!  Click here to be taken to my page.

I was encouraged in this endeavour by new friends and old, to all of whom I give grateful thanks.  I'm so pleased to see my witches, wizards and dragons given the opportunity to fly to new homes.

Liebster Blog Award

A very, very belated thank you to Silver Fox from Secret Garden for including me in her five for this award.

As she beautifully puts it - 'Liebster is beloved in German...be loved...I am reminded of Rumi and Sufism. The beloved is the other, you and the Divine. You see yourself and love reflected in another eyes.'

I have the opportunity to pass this award onto 5 blogs who open my eyes, this will come soon. For the moment this is an acknowledgement and grateful thanks to my one beloved follower, you are of course the first recipient ;-)

Witches Are For Life...

...Not Just for Hallowe'en!

This has become my mantra over the last few weeks, as I rediscover some illustrations from an age ago.

I have an inkling that a few will be appearing on cards sometime very soon...

Autumn Memories

Autumn is without doubt my favourite time of year, inspired by wonderful memories of a childhood spent playing around bonfires and doing spooky plays for our parents and making potions with burnt edge labels and seeing a witch's hat hanging high in a tree and loving the smell of the earth and falling leaves fiercely.

I love it so much that I always try and get as much out of the season as possible and make it last just that little bit longer.  I see friends; celebrate Samhain / Hallowe'en in all its various ways.  I walk miles on clear, fresh days with a golden sun hanging low in the sky.  I stand under the full moon absorbing its special silver blessing. 

The full moon yesterday certainly has affected me and I am so full of ideas that I've been driven to create and be within the energy.  Consequently I find myself too busy to write and my poor blog feels a little neglected. However it's all to the good as I am beginning to feel that I have made some things start to evolve.  Old friends have visited and brought new friends. They will be gracing these pages with their presence before very long...
