Back from a week at Omega where I do an artist's residency each year. As always, a whirlwind. And this time, way too short. I had the amazing blessing of taking 2 workshops with visionary artist Randal Roberts.
I'm 3-d girl, so painting and drawing are a real challenge for me. But Randal got me diving into both with surrealistic divining techniques that blew my heart, mind and hands way open. There's nothing like the feeling of "hey, I can do this!". I can't wait to keep the pencil and brush going.
Meanwhile... in my own 3 d explorations I created a series from the paper that tea bags come in. Been collecting them for years. Using them to create prayer beads. And now:
Tea-Betan Prayer Flags, Tea-Betan Prayer Wheel and Tea-Betan Book of the Dead.
With gracious thanks to Nico for coming up with the name, which definitely pulls the concept together.
I love a collaboration that just pops into being like that. Nico walked into the art hut one day and just tossed it out. Fit like a glove.
Pics to come soon. Of all this and more.
So stir up a little Magic Medicine of your own with a pencil, a brush, some watercolors. Or just a bunch of garbage you haven't thrown out yet.
May your day be filled with love.
