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!

Living in a time of chaos is a rough ride.
The turbulence, drama, trauma and din is like standing in front of a huge screen that has the shock waves slamming across it.
When those harsh shocklines threaten to overwhelm,
it’s time to hit the pause button and take a deep breath….
Listen for a gentle whisper that slides in and starts softening and smoothing those sharp peaks and valleys
into curves and waves that lift and carry us,
one breath, one pause, another breath, another pause-
a gift from the Heart of Stillness that bring moments of clarity, calm and coherence.
That’s what this mixed media Woven Woman for the Oracle of Stillness series is all about.
She is: “Calm Unfolds in a Whisper”.
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

Joy is one of the great connectors of the Universe.
It can burst into a moment that launches the heart skyward, or it can slide in on a silent wave that somehow appears in the midst of suffering and sorrow and leaves a person riding a wave that lifts them when only a moment before, there was oppression, misery and despair.
Joy is a bridge that brings together paradoxes and stitches the Great Mystery and Beauty into a patchwork that says: YES to awe and to life.
When Joy burst into my life, I felt compelled to create this mixed media Woven Woman for the Oracle of Stillness series: “An Uprising of Joy”.
If you look closely at the feathers on the edges of her wings, you will see hundreds of tiny brass safety pins, which I adore as they are charming little bits of amazement that hold things together. And on each of the tiny safety pins, there are seed beads as a metaphor for how Joy seeds new life in us.
May Joy unfold in your life, too!
