ArtSings1946

When ArtSings 1946, applied to join the Law Of Attraction Team on Etsy, I was entranced with her lovely fairy artwork.  She describes herself as  "an altered, mixed media, assemblage, collage, artist" whose goal is to make "positive message pieces – pieces that will make people feel good about themselves, life and the world in general."


And looking at ArtSing's pieces do make me smile!  I especially love this one.



I love the bright colors, and the idea of having a fairy for kindness!  Imagine what a beautiful world this would be if we could sprinkle Kindness Dust around our towns!






I also love this Fairy of Humor.   She would be especially helpful to me when things get stressful at work and I need to find a way to laugh at myself and the situation.

And what fairy wouldn't love to live here?


To fully appreciate the work of ArtSings1946, you really have to visit her shop.  She also has an uplifting blog, http://artsings1946.blogspot.com/, where she discusses her artwork and her strategies for staying positive.

Which Tarot Card are You?

You are The Lovers
Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse.
The Lovers represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made.
Originally, this card was called just LOVE. And that's actually more apt than "Lovers." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that the you have or will come across a person, career, challenge or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.

Old Favorite Hobbies

  When I first started trying to sell my crafts, I began with barrettes I had created for my daughters and others. Since I've always had an affinity for earrings, it was natural that they would be my next big item. I workedwith earrings for several years, adding necklaces, pins, button covers, and other related items. My journeywith art has taken me down a lot of roads, but making earrings is still one of my favorite things to do.

These particular earrings feature amethyst and pale lavender Czech crystal and amethyst hearts suspendend from gold toned hoops.
Look for these earrings on my Etsy shop!

You were born during a Waning Crescent moon

This phase occurs right before the new moon.




- what it says about you -


You appreciate closure. It bothers you when people promise to do something and then don't follow through. You want to able to right the wrongs of the past. Studying history motivates you to improve the world. You put a lot of hope in the future and look forward to seeing technology and progress improve our lives.

Hidden Ridge Road Gifts

Hidden Ridge Road Gifts is the name of my new ArtFire shop featuring commercial items.  Some of these items have been previously featured in my personal website by the same name.  I opened this shop because I thought ArtFire might give me more exposure than I was able to get on my own.  Many of these items are left from my bricks and mortar shop in Texas, Gifts and More, which I closed in 2003.

Ceramic Elephants This elephant family is made of ceramic, and I love the way they are standing together like a family does.
Lonely Wolf Figurine I've always loved this Wolf.  I can almost hear his mournful song.

Clear Acrylic Crystal Candle Holder This Candle Holder is made of acrylic, keeping it inexpensive and light.  It looks beautiful with a lit candle placed on top.

I plan to bring more items to this shop.  Keep checking!!

Blessings and Peace,
Jill
