For those of you who may not yet know,
I've moved to a new Cyber Home!
Tales From The Labyrinth continues
~HERE~
www.lealabyrinth.com
Please come and join me!
I look forward
to sharing more adventures
and wondrous discoveries
with you along the path!
I still can not believe...
how the exact same process...
could yield such entirely unique...
and beautiful pieces...
each one...
such a creative expression...
from the heart...
What a joy
it was for me to spend time
and share my studio space
with these five amazing and talented ladies!!!
I had so much fun
today...
Watching these amazing...
beautiful...
and diverse small bud vases...
using tiny gourds...
special paints...
alot of old-fashion elbow grease...
and imagination...
all created
by these six lovely ladies...
who attended my class
this afternoon!!!!
Each piece...
was incredibly unique...
I of course...
wanted to keep them all...
but watched them
leave at the end of the day...
tiny gems
in the palms of their hands...
The last two
Wednesday evenings
at the Santa Rosa Labyrinth Studio
were full of
artistic flare unfolding
through cracked glass
and grouting....
Nancy & her gourd...
Jeannie & her gourd...
Cindy & her gourd...
Elizabeth & her gourd...
and
Melissa & her gourd...
One...
more class to go!!!
Two Wednesdays ago...
five, very talented
and adventuresome artists
joined me at my downtown upstairs studio
to learn how to make cracked glass gourd vases...
After choosing their gourd...
tops were removed,
insides cleaned out...
and covering the outsides...
ensued with great intent...
and focus!!!
Even though the technique is the same...
each gourd is incredibly unique
and beautiful!!!
Stay tuned for the next stage of
this art making!
On Friday
several neighbors and friends
came to my studio to make colored eggs...
It was a room
full
of artists...
blooming colors...
a flow
of creativity...
joy...
concentration...
and surprises
for what emerged...
an afternoon
of eggcelent delight!!!

I just love
eggs...
I love
to eat eggs...
like my favorite Chilaquiles dish
at Flavors Restaurant in Santa Rosa...
And...
I have always loved dying Easter Eggs
and the symbolism these mystery bundles hold
no matter what tradition you come from
or celebrate this time of the year...
Last night,
I just had to make some dyed eggs
and decided to use the alcohol paints
that I'm so enamored with these days
and that I'm using for my small gourd
bud vase class coming up...
So...
I played...
and played...
and became so excited
and filled with joy
with these beautiful eggs
that now fill my
front porch bunny's basket!!!
I just had to share them with you!
And my hope that this post
finds you reveling in the beauty and mystery
of this Spring...
and all that it holds...

The "Fool" painted for a friend's 50th birth day. Yes, that is a cat and not a white dog as in the traditional tarot. My friend lives in a "cat-household" so a white cat it had to be...
