Fun Park

My mascot "Platvoetje" solved the mystery of Stonehenge; it's a fun park for witches. Just the perfect spot for a show.

We loved Somerset and Cornwall, the beautiful land is soaked with stories. About ancient ones, wise woman and sea witches, King Arthur, healing wells and labyrinths, used and loved since ancient times. I visited the indoor Goddess Temple in Glastonbury, and loved her Temple all around.

Now it's home sweet home again, still searching for my yellow-brick road :-) Weaving stories in my web of faith.

And remember the sea air in my lungs, sunshine on my skin, water from Chalice Well in my mouth, the sand under my feet and the stories in my heart. Lift up my spirit, take a big jump and fly.

Candy Floss life

I want to show you a page from my dummy. My first idea for a "Candy Floss life", a new work I want to make. The joy of beginnings :-)

I'm in the happy place of planning a family holiday to the South West of the UK. A camping trip to Devon and Cornwall.
I'll take my dummy with me and make some more sketches. And enjoy our time in places like Brighton, Stonehenge, Glastonbury, Tintagel and Boscastle.

Looking forward to another Merry Meet with the UK,
Happy holidays for you also, love and blessings, Elisa

Blog break

Invoke tree, originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

With this laminated images I'm going to say goodbye for now.
It's my little invoke tree for happy times.

This weekend its off to the Pinkpop festival for me. I'm really looking forward to see and hear Metallica and Rage Against The Machine.
And enjoy three days of festival and the company of my dear friends.

Later there will be a short trip to London, and my first time in a plane :-)
And to make some real money I'm going to work in a "normal" job, telephone work.
Let's hope I like it, and still have enough time and energy to work on my art.

Thanks for reading and see you in a while,
let us all make the best life we can, with love in our hearts and peace in our actions.

Sunny Blessings, Elisa

Soft voodoo

Soft voodoo, originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

There are days life is joyful and light like a butterfly on a flower.
There are those nights King Kong has chosen my shoulders to sit on.

Like love doesn't exist in this life. And panic is waving 'hello' to me.

Time to play some soft voodoo;

Breath in... ,Breath out...
and wait for the dawn to face the new day.

Scissor time

Plaatjes knippen, originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

Being happy is in small things... I remember me as a little girl, recovering from a flu, on my bed made on the sofa. My mom gave me a sketch book, magazines, scissors and glue. Days of fun for me.

Don't ask me what or why. For I don't now the answer.
Maybe it's a kind of invocation of a photo shop shiny happy world.
A shrine for a superfluous glamour Goddess.

The creative process of making art is asking questions, not giving answers.

May we never stop wondering.
Love, Elisa Scissorhand

Summer nights

Mint tea love, originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

We have summer in Holland, the smell off BBQ is overwhelming in the evenings.
I make mint tea from fresh leaves, green tea and lots of sugar. And I just love the minty smell in my home.

My friend Caroline is going to build a website for me, so great ! ( visit her own; www.rebellyous.nl )
Today we exchanged some ideas.

And I'm invoking dreams in my heart, making little things and remember my freedom.
Summer days are just perfect to nurture my ideas and feel at ease.

Sunny blessings and great summer nights ;-)

Through the never

Beltane, originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

On this long sunny Beltane weekend in Holland we had lots of fun.
Winter is over, love is in the making and the greens are full with daisy's.

The seeds I've planted at Imbolc are become tiny little plants, waiting for me feeding them with my fresh new thoughts, waters of emotion, inspirational fire, and get my hands dirty in the soil.

The making of art is more and more a spiritual journey to me.
Getting rid of voices in my head and follow my own inner light as it always lights my personal yellow-brick-road. And to know that how strange and dangerous or dull my path may seem, the reward is always to come home. And home has nothing to do with the place I live on earth, as long as I wear my red shoes I am there!

With the power of sex celebrated on Beltane, I remember it's so easy to see and follow my inner light. Just listen to the things that make me excited :-)

Trough the never- Metallica
