Dreamgroup

Today I facilitate my monthly dream group with 4 talented dreamers. It's a nice intimate group, a perfect size, at least in my opinion. It's amazing what depth and "ahas" we get to in 2 short hours.

I found a quote about art that also fits the kind of dream work that I do. As we sit in circle, and listen to someone sharing their dream, we use our empathy, creativity and imagination when we "take on" the dream as our own. Dreams speak in soul language which makes dreams universal. My approach to dreamwork is that the dreams shared in circle is exactly the dreams that we all need to hear, talk about, learn and grow from, as individuals and as a group.

Imagination is the eye of the soul.

Epiphany pot, Dream sculpture, and Poudre River Arts Center

It's spring - happy spring! Between the snowy, cold days and warmer spring days, I have completed part of the face on the Epiphany pot. I now need to mosaic the lips in bright red, which will be fun. So far the consensus is that it's funky and pretty cool (testimonial by some 14 year old boys anyway!). I will have my computer guru help me post a picture of the Epiphany pot soon - I've given up on being able to figure it out by myself.

The dream sculpture, called Transition, is coming along - the tesserae is all nipped and shaped, and some are even adhered to the base. It's looking pretty good and soon it'll have a home. Pictures coming soon.

I have taken the plunge - I have decided to have a studio/gallery at the Poudre River Arts Center in Fort Collins. I move in on April 20th. I'm very excited to join in the artist community of the Center. My studio will feature my dream sculpture and dream pole in process, as well as other dream art. I will also have some of my mirrors and crosses too...and who knows what else.

Bellevue store antique and art show and sale was successful!

The antique and art show and sale went really well this weekend. We had warm, beautiful weather and many lookers and buyers. Some drove up to find the sale and some stopped in as they drove through. Two of my crosses and a flower pot sold, at least by the time I left on Sunday at 1 p.m. It was fun meeting artists from the area and seeing their art too. I also bought one of Leslie Smith's necklaces and Kelley Jones's characters.

Now I need to focus on mosaicing a new mirror for an artist's studio and working on the dream-inspired sculpture. I'll be taking new items to the Artist Nook sometime this week. I'm pretty excited about them - and I'll have a picture or two of them posted here...
