spirits restored

 

a brush with mother earth

~ recycling ~ swapping ~ creating ~

this beautiful vintage bottle was gifted to me by a dear friend. 

choosing to leave it bare was a bit much for me. 

~ with a little time ~ 

the bottle now represents our spirits that have been restored. 

a creative inspiration from you to me. 

inspiring banner & creative dreaming

i have been spending a lot of time in the past few weeks dreaming of having an inspiring banner in my work area.  i have been visiting blogs, the internet and sharing my ideas with friends. ~i did it!~ pulled materials (piles of this~ that~ and the other) together and voila an inspiring banner was born. more of it to come...

~my dream is to fly

             and i won't be coming down anytime soon.~ 

 

lots of magazines have lost the word dream lately. gathering words for my altered book has been my main focus lately. thoughts of creative dreaming fills my heart and mind. i know we all have dreams~my wish is that you grab hold of yours today~ create your dream.

new beginnings

welcome to my blog. i hope you will come back for more. i am a teaching artist in four elementary schools teaching grades k-3rd. i strive to  bring creative experiences directly to the students. integration of the classroom curriculum is a must. as a teaching artist i find more and more that sharing inspiration with fellow artist is my longing. if you are feeling creative and looking for a way to stay inspired ~ then join me in my creative journey of reaching growth, new heights and taking chances in my creative self discovery.
