dotty jean s slice of life home about gallery photography links monday 1 august 2011 art journal i have just stumbled across a wonderful site called wild precious i have spent many hours looking over this great site and have come tot he conclusion that i want to try my hand at art journalling i have avoided journalling all my life because i didn t think that i had anything worth writing down i still don t think i have much to say that is worthy of putting in a journal but art journalling is not about prolific writing instead it is about feelings art creativity and having fun so i searched my bookshelf looking for a suitable book that i could use all the while feeling guilty because i was about to deface a book then i thought about it for a moment and realised that if there wa a book sitting on my shlef that was fit to be transformed then it was never gong to be read so i chose a gardening book with a hard cover that the silver fish had started to devour and that was the begining of my next creative passion at 4 24 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday 16 july 2011 art pieces i created this piece of art a few months ago after a wonderfully uplifting meditation session i used chalk pastels on this picture i love using pastels the way they blend together is a magical process i have called this picture eyes of buddha this second piece is a zentangle i did this evening zentangles have a way of making me feel relaxed the active meditation felt through creating zentangles can be a bit addictive at 8 56 pm no comments

goddess e course i still feel relaxed and uplifted from sitting and working through the meditation i haven t meditated for a couple of months but as soon as the meditation started i was taken into a beautiful visulization to meet my creative guide i do love to meditate i must continue to make an effort to keep meditation as a big part of my life i am half way through this e course and can t wait to make my piece of art for this week at 8 20 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday 16 january 2011 just popping in for a minute i have just

share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday 7 march 2010 retreat i recently arranged a women s retreat with a group of women who were mostly strangers to each other i have wanted to participate in a retreat for a long time but haven t been able to find one close to home and with the principles i hold dear to spirit nature mother earth drumming i found a lovely lady on the net who just happened to live in the same sate as me which in it s self is amazing i contacted jane and asked her to run a weekend in the north of the state and so our retreat started to take place we arrived on saturday morning with an open heart good cheer friendship and food the day started with an individual of each participant which for me was a whole new experience an experience which i might say was very pleasurable and grounding we sat in a circle and passed the talking stick and that was another first for me but again very pleasurable and grounding when the last participant had finished two hours had gone by my how a bunch of strangers can talk the afternoon session was spent singing and drumming on medicine drums what a connecting time the second day started with the talking stick and then straight into drumming and singing the morning was drawn to a close with a long visualization and meditation and then silence for the next 2 hours until the afternoon session was ready to commence the silence was deafening i was so amazed at the amount of sounds that a person can hear when there is no conversation to enter into at the end of the weekend we who started the previous day as strangerswho shared some intimate stories singing drumming and dancing were bonded into a friendship of kindred likeness at 4 01 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday 3 march 2010 a mid week holiday i have reached an age where i no longer feel i need to do things with other people i have learnt that i can have me time and not have to share my space with another human being if i don t want to today i did something i have been promising myself for a long time i spent a day mid week at the beach all by myself and feel inspired to do it again the weather was perfect the water was perfect the shells were perfect the sand was perfect and the seagulls were perfect i walked the beach and quickly found myself in the familiar pose of a frustrated beach comber head down hands behind my back looking for treasures in the sand i found things that no one else would treasure but me a piece of brown sea glass to add to my ever growing collection a beautifully worn shell with a perfect spiral inside to remind me that sometimes life can spiral out of control and i need to take myself off somewhere quiet and reflect on life and gently bring myself back to the centre and move on two shells that were so fragile that they broke into pieces before i finished my collecting then i found a couple of stronger shells the shells reminded me that life can sometimes fall to pieces unexpectedly but if you look around you can find something strong to replace your broken pieces while sitting on the sand the seagulls came to visit looking for food i noticed one of them only had one leg and he was just ah happy and capable as the others with two legs he reminded me that life continues no matter what just suck it up and move on at 4 16 pm no

a son who was in a long time unfulfilling relationship the frustration was that as a mother i was not able to make my son happy the fun was listening to nickle back and creating something that i didn t plan think about ponder over worry about or procrastinate over i just went with the flow and created whatever came from my spirit i incorporated paint collage stamping and journaling and when i had finished i was amazed at what had transpired at 11 35 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday 3 january 2010 nye 2009 the nye fireworks were spectacular as usual dissapointment was not an option although every year i experience them through the lens of my camera i am still excited to see the flashes and hear the bang of the show this was the full moon on nye one side the fireworks sparkled while on the otherside the moon glowed an eerly glow through a hazey sky look closely and you will see orbs around the moon strangely enough there were no unseen beings anywhere to be seen around the fireworks draw your own conclusions at 2 18 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday 29 december 2009 my visions
