I have been participating in a PRAYER FLAG SWAP through the amazing and inspiring online community at; THE GODDESS GUIDEBOOK. The site is the brainchild of Leonie Dawnson. There is a multitude of creativity, support and just fun stuff going on that it is much more than a website. Check it out for yourself @ THE GODDESS GUIDEBOOK. 

OAK PARK ARTS DISTRICT SUMMER CAMP JUNE 2011

I just completed a second year, teaching at; The Oak Park Arts District June Summer Camp. The camp takes place in a variety of art studios and businesses on Harrison Street. The two weeks provide kids the opportunity to expand their art skills with professional artists through dance and movement, mixed-media, glasswork, beading, painting, culinary arts, fiber arts, print-making, yoga and more. I taught at WHISPERS FROM THE MOON, a wonderful, magical "secret" cottage run by my friend, Lisa Source Schmitz.

CLEARING SPACE

I created this bottle for a space cleansing spray. In the bottle is; a small crystal, a lapis bead, a small hamsa, water with a few drops of peppermint and lemon essential oils.

CAMILLE'S BIRTHDAY PRESENT

Prior to the closing of WINDY CITY SCRAPBOOKING's store on Clybourn, I spent days there using the Accucut Die cutting machine. I now have a supply of these pages to create books!!! I also purchased the CINCH bookbinding machine, which creates the cool wire binders. I'll soon be selling one of a kind journals, like this one, on an ESTY store.
