Rockin' Collection Honoring The Mother

Two special days in the US are getting near, Earth Day on the 22 of April and Mother's Day the 12th of May, so a member of Artfire.com has curated together a fine selection of items that celebrate the Sacred Mother Earth. It's titled, "Honoring The Mother - Earth Day Every Day", and the Collection was curated by CactusCroneCreations who had the following to say about it, "A different Mother's Day - a time for honoring our Earth, Earth Mother, Mother Earth, Gaia. A time for looking around at all the beauty and diversity we are blessed with here. Happy Earth Day! Happy Mother's Day!"
There's a pretty and colorful group of goodies to browse! I'm honored to have two pieces selected for this Collection. First my oil painting titled, "Gaia Mother of Earth", was chosen. It features a realistic pregnant female covered in billowing white cloth. Then a very different representation of the Earth Mother was selected with the Ancient Spiral Earth Goddess Spiritkeepers Stone that I painted. It's a paperweight sized genuine river rock with a blue luster background -- She's very earthy!
Collections are a great way for members and Artfire visitors to shop, browse, and spark up their own creative fire too, so I hope that you'll stop by to see this Collection as well as the many other handmade treasures Artfire has to offer.

You can visit my store directly by clicking ArtistTree.artfire.com, and below I've included a window to the Collection. Clicking a picture will pop open a window for you. Enjoy! I send hopes for a happy Earth Day and Mother's Day to you all -- may the season be kind and bring plenty of smiles!

Paperweight Pleasures

Many of the Spiritkeepers Stones that I paint are perfectly sized to be used as paperweights. A fellow member of ArtFire must think so to because one of my stones was chosen to be featured in a member curated "collection"! It's a joy to see my granite Raccoon with a lovely selection of paperweights in different materials. So let the Spring winds inspire you, and browse these paperweights to keep your thoughts in place! :)

Art With Stone Collection on ArtFire

I began my computer day with some "SK" fun, (since I refer to my Spiritkeepers as "SK's"); a fellow ArtFire.com member, SKCreations has picked a Spiritkeepers Stone to feature in a Collection on the site! Titled "Art With Stone", there is indeed a good offering of the types of art that can be done with stone; Paintings, carvings, photography, and more.

 My creation that was chosen (see mini gallery below) is the American Bison (or buffalo) scene painted on a naturally holed fossil stone # sk 021. I discovered the forms of bison on the stone while base coating the surface with paint. It's really amazing to me how the mind's eye pulls images from imagination! So I followed the lines that were created by the layers of fossil that make up the stone. Painting it was fun but a challenge. Sealing it was just plain time consuming, but worth the effort of course. I noticed in my listing that I stated something to the effect of it being water washable with cold water and care... HA! In reality there is such a seal of quality protective coating that the stone could be dropped in a lake and have the muck scraped off 10 years later without damage to the painting! :) I still wouldn't want it displayed outdoors though. As a matter of fact, all of my stones are sealed that well. Anyway, I'm digressing, so back to the Collection.

If you're a lover of stone this Collection is worth a look! Grab a cup of coffee or tea, and browse over. It's not just the items shown either, like the stunning mirror or cool reproduction artifact ember pot, check the other items in these sellers stores too. There's a very diverse range of items. I had a good time browsing them all -- lovely creative products. Click on the mini gallery below to see the entire Collection on ArtFire. I hope you enjoy browsing it too!
