Dwell in Possiblity

Today, I received a package, in the mail. It reminded me I owe a few people some mail.  I haven't felt good enough, lately.  I question everything I make, do...  Family isn't thrilled about me being on this art journey. My daughter is my biggest supporter. 

This package made my soul soar...it isn't often someone really gets you, but it is really rare when it is someone you don't know and they don't know you.  Maybe she peeked on my blog?! ;D    I entered a contest online and was asked "why do you need to create art?"  I answered and won...

Here is my answer:

"I need to create art to breath. If I tuck it away or don't do it, I feel like a piece of me is lost in translation. My family doesn't get it, but it is okay... I was born with colored finger prints, lol
When I create my heART sings and my soul dances, in the joy of letting myself be free!  It is our birth right, to find what makes us sing and jump for joy each day!  

Here is what I won...   This card, at the top left had these words...  dwell in possibility...

 We all need to do this move in and dwell in hope!  



Inside was this bag....pretty wrappings and a peek of what is to come...



Inside there was seam binding, vintage wall paper, a velvet millinery bloom and handmade paper, thick, with texture.  I love all of these gathered sentiments!

And...




Delicious colors, I can't wait to play with :D




Golden paint is wonderful! It is rich with pigment. There is a lot of science that goes into their unique formula~






Soap...yes, how did she know my fingers are usually blue or green, lol.


These photos do not show how dreamy all of these treasures are~


  There is a lot of inspiration and heart over at the Beehive Art Salon, you should visit.  It is a gathering of creative souls, each so talented! These artists rotate their posting schedule and share a craft, some insight, a quote and more!  It is a fun place to visit and always an unique view is shared! :D


Thank you Candice, for giving me such an inspiring gift!  Your touches now linger in my soul and make me want to move forward and create.  I have been stuck in clearing, cleaning and dwelling in the home of what if...  Now I can move forward and find a home in possibility!  I want to thank you, you touched my heart, more than you know!  @>--------

And I bet you will create something wonderful with that paint!

What a wonderful gift! So glad you won this! I'm going to check out the website myself. I loved your answer, by the way. Art is heartfelt first.
Wow, Ella, just wow. A beautiful post. I love it how a small but simple thing like winning a gift package has inspired you to continue expressing your talent.
A wonderful post Ella, hope you are feeling better now.

Ellie, consider the possibility that this is the universe sending you a message reinforcing your need to create, to follow your heart and express all the art you have inside. Interesting that it comes at this particular moment.

Also this is a wonderful example to set for your daughter, to encourage her to follow HER heart, whatever makes her happy. Tell her how much her support means to you.

I am so thrilled you got this gift and, more importantly, this message, at just this perfect moment. Yay! and what a lovely gift, too!!!!!!!

I so love that phrase: Dwell in Possibility. Maybe you can use it for a prompt for us Toads????????

Ella,
Isn't it great when the universe gives you just what you need at just the right time? Those goodies look wonderful! Have fun playing and creating! You ARE an artist. It's part of your very being and doesn't require approval or validation. It just is.

I really like that quote...dwell in possibility. So much of our time is consumed with what is or what can't be that fail to make possibilities a constant companion.
Renee said…
Ohhhh, that was so fun to open! Can't wait to see what you create, you are a wonderful artist and deserve to be treated as such. :-)
Congrats, have an arty day.
