It's my 40th birthday :)

A fine day, and my wish is to always find time to play.

Just feeling happy,
love from my seven grey hair today :)

Dream friends

Take a peek in my little magic room.

And meet my new friends for my travels between the worlds.
Jacques the templar knight with his horse Josephine.
Made by the talented Sandra Monat from Herzensart.

We had a good time in her new studio and as a early birthday present I'm the proud owner of this work. I am so happy, feel like over the moon.
Josephine and Jacques will be my compagnions on my queste; be brave at 40 :)

Take it easy but be brave, Elisa.

Cut out

Hello 2009!
Best wishes to my dear blog readers.

Wish you all the power to play, the confidence to feel and just be happy on the path you walk on.

My way feels somewhat hidden and lonely but if I start to play again who knows what wonders are there around the next corner or tree.
I am happy cutting images and thinking about great installations I can make with them ;)

Love and hope, Elisa

Happy X-mas

Wish you a great x-mas time!

I don't give a shit about x-mas. It's all to much for me, the decorations everywere from September; the horrible songs, the constant stream of cars in my street going to the parking. The bad tempered people shopping like hell is out.
I do love to give presents, and to be together with friends and family.
And midwinter is a good time to give.
In our home we keep the holiday simple, today my two sweeties made these cookies. That's a true joy!

Love and peace to you

Happy Yule to you all
May the light return

and may I remember;

Angels can fly
because
they take themselves
lightly

Winter-time

Tree child, originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

There is this place in my soul, a dry, dark litlle cave I love to spend my time. Surrounded with roots and the soothing sounds of the earth.

No thoughts of what I should let grow above the surface. Spring is to come in another life.

First be with Winter
Just me
Feel comfortable and warm
alone and save

Goddess mobile

Goddess mobile, originally uploaded by Tuttebel.

It's more crafts that I make these days. But I love to make my own designs, so the artist in me stays somewhat happy. In the mobile, the colors of the five pointed stars and the little goddesses represent the chakra's to me.

In my spiritual practice, I love to imagine myself surrounded with these colors.
Imagine myself floating in the air on a red cloud, in a red sphere. Feeling the energy of the hot red, on my skin, in my feelings, to become red. See what I can learn today from this color, what quality it can give me for my daily life. Feel in my body the place of the chakra, notice how my energy feels there.But mostly to be with the red color and enjoy.
Then I imagine the sphere to change into orange and so on.

May your colors never fade,
and have a lovely weekend.
Elisa
