I’ve been working on forming a better relationship with Brighid in regards to my art. I’m a fairly busy artist and am working on a project just about every day. I’ve developed the habit of praying to Brighid when I start my work. I sometimes forget until I’m a few minutes in, but I stopContinue reading “Art Muse and Artsy Art Stuff”

On Study Programs
In an effort to organize my studies, I put together two binders for the Artisan Guild and Initiate study programs respectively. I’m currently trudging away on Magic 1. I reviewed the exit standards again and realize that I could probably start working on some of them. At the same time I’m very insecure in regardsContinue reading “On Study Programs”
I’m feeling pretty good today. I’ve been doing a lot of soul-searching and research this month. I’ve been making changes, thinking about them, tweaking them… I’ve been reflecting on my spirituality and other spiritualities. I feel like I found a happy medium today, and that I am at peace with myself and my relationship withContinue reading

In the meantime, I’m slowly working my way through someContinue reading “Bits and Bobs on a Tuesday Night”

Another Sketch*
I did this yesterday after work. I wanted to sit outside on the patio and sketch something, deciding on a fallen oak leaf. I borrowed a stone from my “fairy pot” to keep the wind from blowing it away. I had a lot of fun with this drawing and am really proud of how itContinue reading “Another Sketch*”
The Game Plan
As you saw in my last post, I’m working diligently on the Artisan Guild study program. I want to get into the Initiate Study Program as well and was suddenly feeling overwhelmed with the possibilities. Kirk gave me some perspective that really helped. I need to find a balance between the practical/experimental and the academic.Continue reading “The Game Plan”
Sketchy sketches
I don’t know if it was the sudden decrease in temperature, the rain, my inability to sleep last night, a combination, or something else entirely, but I felt like crap this morning. Anyway. I think I’ve finished my working outlines as required by the Artisan Guild study program. I want to give them another readContinue reading “Sketchy sketches”
Happy Sunday, readers! Did you remember to spring forward? North Country Goes GreenI wanted to start off by apologizing if I sounded *really* negative about the Watertown Irish Festival. It really wasn’t that bad. I was mostly annoyed by the difficulty we had finding parking and how crowded the building was. I tried to sayContinue reading
