I found these beautiful roses today that have this lovely pale green tint to them. They are really amazing. I'm sad to say I don't think they will dry very well, but I'm going to try to dry them anyway. White, or white-ish roses tend to just turn brown when they dry no matter what you do. This pale green tint would be beautiful on a grapevine wreath with some pale pink roses added. Perfect for a shabby chic spring wreath ❤

TAKING CARE OF YOUR HANDMADE TAROT CARDS ☾⭐︎

Image
  I started making these tarot cards around 8 years ago, and I still have the first few decks I made and they are in perfect condition, even though I use them all the time! Here are a few ways you can keep your deck looking perfect too!  ☾⭐︎ WARPS OR BENDING FROM HUMIDITY  Even though my cards are VERY thick, if you live in a humid area or your cards are left outside overnight, they may warp a little. Luckily that is easily solved!  Stack your deck at least 6-8 cards high and place them on a flat surface.  ☾⭐︎ Place several heavy books on top of them and leave for several hours or, even better, overnight.  ☾⭐︎ The next day they will be flat again! ☾⭐︎ SHUFFLING YOUR HANDMADE DECK: Since the cards I make are unfinished (not slippery) and very thick, it is best NOT to use a Riffle Shuffle with them because they do not bend easily and they could be damaged. It is best to use an Overhand shuffle or Hindu shuffle with these cards. I’ve ALWAYS used an Overhand...

Masks for ALL ❤️ - An Artists Diary During A Pandemic ⭐︎ Day 32

Image
After five days, the rain is finally gone and it’s a beautiful sunny day today. The everyone-must-wear-masks-in-public order went into effect yesterday in Los Angeles so there are MANY people going by my window and balcony with all kinds of homemade masks on. Even some runners have them on, for which I am truly grateful. I have begun sewing and selling fabric masks because I believe so strongly that EVERYONE should wear a mask- especially since 80% of people who have the coronavirus do not even know they have it or have very mild symptoms and can easily spread the germs to many. Stores are closed, of course, and all I had around the house was some celestial-themed fabric I bought for making tarot bags, so my masks are celestial themed, with some shabby chic fabric here and there. I’m sewing some healing crystals on them since we can all use a little extra help right now! Amythest, Aquamarine, and Rose Quartz- my favorite healing crystals! ⭐︎ Amethyst - SERENITY - Calms the m...

Artist Studio Sanctuary

                                                                   Malibu, California        ☆ 2021 ☆   A NEW YEAR already filled with the stresses of 2020, but while we are all STILL stuck at home 24/7, it’s finally time FOR ME to turn my new art studio in my new SANCTUARY ☾ ⭐︎ I moved into my new place last year- just after the fires in Brentwood and Malibu, but ONE MONTH before Los Angeles went into a total lockdown. Talk about bad timing. With only a brief reprieve during the late summer months, it’s a year later and we’re still in the same strict lockdown. Maybe worse. I was REALLY looking forward to nesting and leisurely shopping for new and vintage furniture, seaside knick-knacks, and the perfect shabby chic pieces (the last Shabby Chic store in California is a few minutes from me!), b...
