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! :)

Blue Anubis Pebble Spiritkeepers Stone sk068

Tiny lines of hand painted brush strokes add dimension to this Egyptian hieroglyph like Anubis Spiritkeepers Stone by Tree Pruitt. In the style of a bust, the God is depicted on this pebble in profile wearing a golden colored neck piece. He seems to wear a slight smile too because this is not a frightening God of death but rather a guide to greet the spiritual traveler on the journey into passing. The design is unique to this stone because it was drawn freehand, inspired by the shape of the stone itself.

To learn about Anubis please visit this blogs post on the subject.

This stone is numbered as sk068, so please use that reference number if inquiring. It is sized at 30 mm x 24 mm x 8 mm thick, perfect for a desktop, pocket, or pouch. Each Spiritkeepers is unique, individually numbered, and signed with the sigil logo. No fillers or cutting is ever used on stones. The reverse side shows the sigil and number.

Venus of Willendorf Style Goddess Painted on Pebble

A hand painted ancient style goddess 'Venus figurine' features on this new stone; one of a kind pebble art. The Paleolithic female figure holds a cornucopia, or horn of plenty, in one hand and Her other hand rests on Her belly. Painted on a garden pebble that has unique natural shapes similar to stones chosen by ancient mankind for such purposes. The natural surface has been left to show on the reverse.

Venus figurines is an umbrella term for a number of prehistoric statuettes of women portrayed with similar physical attributes from the Upper Palaeolithic, although they predate the mythological figure of Venus by millenia. These figurines were carved from soft stone, bone or ivory, or formed of clay and fired. Typical features of Venus figurines include the swollen belly, wide-set thighs, large breasts, and pronounced vulva. They are some of the earliest works of prehistoric art and may represent a Mother Goddess concept or a form of Sympathetic Magic to attract abundance.
