@5DSoul @FloraSunTzuBee @HHMU_Banksia I think blessing boxes need to catch on. The stuff in them doesn't have to be expensive. They're spiritual gifts. She sent me 17 bay leaves.
@FloraSunTzuBee @5DSoul @HHMU_Banksia I'll have to get that website up and running. Here's another two items from the blessings box, two musical angels.
Music is hearts delight.
The stings of the nettles are neutralized by the weaving and drying process. A plant of pain is transformed into something beautiful and useful. I have never even thought about it like that until now!
@5DSoul @HHMU_Banksia Appalling that 50 years later I STILL am not allowed to know the names of my abusers, that their identities are being protected by police and state. So, I paint, I try to heal. And I make string from stinging nettles!
There was a cherry tree growing right next to the labernum. Both trees were sick, and I could only choose one to save as their roots were entangled, the other had to be sacrificed. I normally would have chosen the useful fruit bearer, but this time I chose the beautiful tree.
And there were two little musical angels inside the box. I'm a lyre player, so that one particularly resonated with me.
@SocratesNshit @michaelpbreton I want to make bright spaces for everyone to enjoy. Healing broken hearts by surrounding us all with beauty. Us artists need to use our talents to bring joy and peace. The spirit cooking woman can do one, we need proper beautiful art
@judgejules75 Just let the kids wear what they like. Most will turn up in jeans and T shirts, there, problem solved.
My friend Banksia sent me a Blessings Box, and I'm painting all the items she sent to me. This little painting was inspired by a fairy brooch that was inside the box
