Some doodles, maybe a potential theme or story. The human condition, and the materialization of a thought. What if it became a being? What if it were lonely a looked for a friend? How would it find?

Landlust

Everytime I go to the grocery store I wander the magazine Isle wanting to find something exciting, and I finally found it. It is a magazine call Landlust. It is all about organic beauty really, gardening, harvesting, crops, wool, artisans, craftsmanship...The photography is breathtaking and has made me appreciate the small little village. I am even wanting to have a green thumb. I have always had the dream of having a farm where I can grow my own crops, milk my own cows, and grow my own wine. I can imagine my 40 year old self staring out the window of my art studio, breathing in the fresh (and also smelly) air that my farm land sends my way. I can imagine my self waking up at dawn, recharging my soul with the first rays of the morning Sun, greeting the animals, who I have all probably named (I would have sheep, chickens, and cows... none of which I would kill, only take from them what they give to me willingly with life) according to their personality.

Then after a day of sun, dirt, sweet, art, and joy I sit down at my outside table with a pitcher of homemade wine, and eat a delicious meal with my family. We listen to the nocturnal creatures as they sing us a lullaby, and reach out to the sweeping winds of life with out laughter and voice.....I love to dream

What is your dream?

The wind sweeps through our little village and I have butterflies on my mind. Also the idea that the commonalities of life and how differences are truly not that different once you stand back and look at them...I know I am just babbling nonsensical things..but during one of those moments of clarity they do make perfect sense. I love those moments when everything falls into place. Everything makes sense, and it even seems funny how before they did not, and just as that moment came all of a sudden it leaves you and you forget entirely what was so clear to you.

Either way, The picture above is of my newest creation. A butterfly, a tribute to my salvation. I imagine her to be magical. Her story is still unravelling in my mind with every stitch that I make. However, I have come up with a story for my duvets. It is about the sun and the moon, and their love story. 

More details later....happy spring :)
