“Every heart has its passion.
Doing what you love gives your spirit wings.”

"When we say that making art is an act of faith and that as we make art we pursue a spiritual path, we are not talking loosely.
There is a grace in our every artistic encounter.
~Julia Cameron's Artist's Way Every Day book
Dream catchers.
Large wooden faux rosaries.
Sacred Hope Hearts.
My
passion.
The
grace in the spiritual path I'm walking.
In my haven of peacefulness,
inspired by the beauty of God's world around me ~
I create.
The windswept prairie. Deep,cool forests. The midnight tide.
Galloping horses. Dancing gypsies. Graceful ballerinas.
Given names that magically plant themselves in my mind as my hands wrap, tie, and string.
The music plays.
I listen to the stars and the birds with an open heart,
and
I create.
Enjoy stillness and quiet.
Appreciate His created beauty.
There is loveliness all around.
Choose to see it, hear it, feel it, smell it, taste it.
Open your eyes to wonder.
Then create.
Make your own kind of beauty.
~Susan (High Desert Home Blog)
Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.
I share with you here, some of my creations that have captured my soul and sent my spirit soaring.
The descriptions are what I see in my mind while I'm creating them.
I share with you....
my heart,
my
passion.
