My Second Piece...

My second piece of felted art jewellery by Fibre Artist - Anne Bennett.
Each of Anne's pieces are one of a kind and take hours to create.

This piece drew me instantly, a stone cocooned in merino wool how absolutely unique. Everything about this necklace is earthy and nurturing.

The necklace can be lengthened or shortened depending on where I prefer it to sit when I wear it.
I felt my hand intuitively reached for the rock constantly after I put it on. The warmth of the stone penetrated the wool and warmed my skin, this was very relaxing. The combination of stone and wool induced a nourishing feeling. The colour of this piece is also unusual, and the detail on the sides of the lengths certainly stands out. 

Wool is believed to promote a sense of grounding and connection to the earth, promoting stability. 
The stone, although visibly plain also processes metaphysical properties. Like wool a simple plain stone offers grounding and stability as well as balancing energy. 
Stones although not as startling beautiful as crystals are no less powerful. By holding or caressing a simple stone one can drift into a mindful meditation which leads one to peaceful serenity...

This Colourful...

This colourful mural at the entrance of the High Wycombe Primary School is absolutely stunning.
No matter I many times I pass it, my head always turns to look, the smiling gecko is adorable...

I Just Managed...

I just managed to see Sub Urban Language by the Collage Art Group before it closed last month at the Ellenbrook Arts Centre.
This exhibition consisted of twelve artists and their interpretation of their situation and existence in life.
There was an array of wonderful creations from sculptures, textiles and paintings. 
There were several paintings that had me transfixed in place as I gazed at the canvases. The red tail cockatoo paintings held my attention for quite some time, as did the two fabric pieces.
Many of the sculptures were quite unusual to say the least...
