Every journey, no matter how long or short or why it’s happening, is fueled by Hope.
This Woven Woman from my mixed media series: Oracle of Stillness is “The Journey of Hope”
She is a celebration of courage, curiosity, resiliency and healing. May all your journeys be filled with grace and sweet surprises and may you enjoy the detours and not drift into the overwhelm or sorrows.

In music, the rests- the places and spaces between the notes give life and meaning to the notes.
Those still points embody grace, promise, potential, respite and oh so much more.
What a great metaphor for embracing contemplation, meditation and moments of sweet, healing, lovely silence!
This Woven Woman from my mixed media series: Oracle of Stillness is “She is in the Spaces Between”
a celebration of sacred quiet, restful moments and tender, healing silence.

Our close companion, the moon, is especially close when she is a Super Moon.
Last night the clouds swathed her in silken swirls and so we couldn’t see her, but oh yes, we still feel her presence. ‘
She pulls the tides of our oceans and inner waters and asks: Are you ready to change like I do?
This Woven Woman from my mixed media series: Oracle of Stillness is an homage to our friend the Full Moon. She is “Renewal”.

Isn’t it lovely to watch the trees rock the full moon in their arms?
Sometimes the clouds pull up the blankets and we can’t see the moon, but still, we feel her presence.
She tickles and teases us and asks: Do you really need to sleep when you can be gazing at me?
This Woven Woman from my mixed media series: Oracle of Stillness is an homage to our friend the Full Moon. She is “Essence”.

Ugh… the other night I had a horrible dream in which I got lost and couldn’t find my way home. I got more and more upset, and then, whew, a gentle guide showed up and reminded me that when a dream has gone wrong, for goodness sake, WAKE UP!
So, I did and I felt really comforted by going and gazing at this Woven Woman from my mixed media series: Oracle of Stillness. She is “The Guide Who is Just Where She is Needed”.
There are times when we are dreaming and also times when we are awake when we feel lost and distressed. Thank goodness for the Guides who show up to clear the path for us!

Cherishing is one of those ‘And’ experiences, isn’t it?
We love AND we cherish.
We hold someone or something close in our hearts
AND we are delicate in that holding close… not crushing or extinguishing, just the lightest touch or not touching at all….
AND then… a blessing
AND, sometimes, but not always, a release.
Like joy, cherishing is a bridge of paradoxes that brings the breath and the spaces between to life.
This mixed media Woven Woman for the Oracle of Stillness series is “Cherishing”.
She is one of 3 of my mixed media tapestries from the “Oracle of Stillness” series that are part of the fundraising Christmas/Celebration of Joy show at Harcourt House: Artorama
