How it looks like right now

Here is an impression about our ongoing renovation adventure. See all the wood pannelling that we ripped off the walls.. well the boys did and the girls
took it away. In this former party room there is now a stand left where the bar was. This will become my creative paradise !
And as you can see weÂ´re not alone... look at all the orbs. ItÂ´s good company

Lessons in compassion or talking about patterns

nospam@example.com (Paperrose) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:08:22 +0100

The other day IÂ´ve been asked about family constellations. The base for this is the work of Bert Hellinger, a German psychotherapist. My teacher has been educated to do family constellations and has throughout the years made some adaptions to fit her mode of work.

Basically it is about the emotional patterns of behaviour every family has developped over generations. It is in the genes and I can tell you from personal experience, even facts and of course emotions that never have been even said aloud weigh twice in influencing our emotional heritage.

Everyone is able to participate, you need no special education. The main person who wants to work on a personal conflict is intuitively choosing the persons who will fill in the role of their family members. The energetic field is what is connecting all of us always. And this is the reason why a representative who never met members of this family can feel what the person felt when a conflict emerged. This energetic connection traces the incidents which lead to lets say emotional traumas and healing work can be done. It is a work of love and compassion all participants do. And it is a relief for the one who is asking why things happened. Often events are being traced back two or more generations. The results, the awareness shows effect instantly and the healing energies fan out through a period of up to eight months. DonÂ´t talk, donÂ´t discuss with anybody afterwards except your therapist. What had to be done has been done and the energy is working.

There are things to think about also for those who â€žjustâ€œ represented a role in a â€žplayâ€œ... let me tell you the role has to do something with yourself. Now is the chance to look and become aware of it.
The patterns of human behaviour repeat from some point but that said everyone finds oneself in different stages of development. This work can stir up oneÂ´s feelings and be exhausting but it is worth every minute and brings inner peace. And we get closer to our very selves.

Somewhere over the rainbow

Some weeks ago someone spread another catchy tune into my head...

On the spur of the moment I created this image

Come visit my rainbow

Today I feel more like these colors: Purples, greens and blues.....so I just tinted the way into the skies

Art deck cards -- " Cars" and "Winter"

nospam@example.com (Paperrose) — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 16:14:32 +0200

In the first card I illustrated a part of the journey.

The second one formed after being caught by a tune called "Eisblumen" performed by a German band with the same name

A break from art: Between Heaven and Earth

nospam@example.com (Paperrose) — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 12:16:30 +0100

Having been quiet for months I think it is time for an update. IÂ´ve been looking at my art abstinence with very mixed feelings...During the Christmas time I got back to creating with my kids and I enjoyed it so much. Well, I do a lot of knitting to keep my hands busy....and reading.
The year 2008 was a time of change in my life. I would like to let you know what I do instead of stamping, painting, creating jewelry... It started with a jewelry making class and a year long workshop to become a healer. Yes. Metaphysics. At the beginning of the year I joined a group of people who long to be heal and to become a healer. It is a clearing process and a lot of old emotions and more than lifelong patterns emerge. Talk about reincarnation. WeÂ´re learning about human anatomy, physiology and weÂ´re working with white light. We have a wonderful teacher and the spiritual world is working thru us with angels, archangels, spiritual medics and ascended masters.
Relationships want to heal and patterns want to be changed. It is very freeing - sometimes exhausting but well worth the work. A network of loving and wonderful friends has formed.
The workshop lessons have nearly come to an end but the learning goes on of course.
The beautiful thing is that as I change my perspective the world around me also changes in a very positive way. IÂ´m very thankful and blessed to be where I am. It will still take a while until I Â´ll be able to create away again - a new art room will be built and there is a lot to do.
I have also rediscovered or should I say uncovered my love for plant life and am looking forward to the next gardening season. I would like to especially thank my loved ones for their understanding and support and thank you to all my angels in heaven as well as on earth

â€œOur deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Hanafuda Swap (OSA) Polymer Clay Pendant

nospam@example.com (Paperrose) — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 17:54:49 +0200

This is my first inkjet transfer on polymer clay with translucent liquid sculpey as a transfer medium.
I followed directions from Donna KatoÂ´s new book.
Also found that my baking temperature had been too low which had caused brittle pieces in the past. This is now history....... I made six pendants of these.
The image is stamped on a watercolor background and colored in with gel pens , then scanned and printed on clay coated paper.

DonÂ´t stop at first place... all of the Haikus are wonderful and the images, too.
Now which ones will be made into rubberstamps accompanying their image?
Thanks OSA-members !!

More beads....

nospam@example.com (Paperrose) — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 16:37:56 +0100

Made from polymerclay this time. For the blue-silver-black ones I followed a faux moss agate tutorial by
Desiree McCrorey but changed the colors.
The two others were going to be some Mokume Gane experiments that went out of control and I decided to make beads from the accident.

Fabric beads

nospam@example.com (Paperrose) — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 19:27:54 +0100

These beads are made from fabric, cotton muslin, painted with lumiere colors, then stamped, heat set
and rolled onto a straw with a bit of glue. Finally wrapped wire and beads. A quick and fun project.

Heart Links

Just in time for ValentineÂ´s Day - I couldnÂ´t resist trying one of SharilynÂ´s projects.
This bracelet arrived at its recipient today

Bead on a Wire

nospam@example.com (Paperrose) — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 20:41:03 +0100

For ages IÂ´ve been wanting to be able to work with wire to achieve a more professional look of embellishments in my art. Now I had the opportunity to participate in this workshop and do practise my way through Sharilyn MillerÂ´s book Bead on a Wire which teaches from basic wire handling to ancient techniques. Sharilyn doesnÂ´t solder her jewelry which is a big plus for me because I know of quite a few women who are allergic or very sensitive to certain metals. Actually I think there are no such moments called by chance but IÂ´m so glad I found the ArtistsoftheRoundTable, a very friendly and caring yahoogroup. Workshops are run on a regular basis working thru artistsÂ´books.
This project needed some preparations like finding resources, getting the tools and the materials.
We have been in week 3 now and itÂ´s so much fun...

Lotus

nospam@example.com (Paperrose) — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 21:11:36 +0100

This is an experiment I wanted to make with chalk on acrylics... I made the background collage with newspapers and acrylic colors and then wanted to draw a lotus flower or waterlilly...
my chalks turned out to be too soft and so I went on to use acrylics. Finally added some stamped embellishments to the edges. Actually I wanted to do pastel - but you know how things emerge......
Collaged and painted on canvas board.

HavenÂ´t shown anything for quite a while. Had to get thru September before I reduced working hours.
Now I feel halfway well rested again.
Finally made some time to play digitally....thanks to the generous members of the CM.
