Retreat and back again.......again ;-)
I promised I would report on my retreat and so I am finally sitting down to do so.
One never knows what will come up in a retreat of this nature....alone with one's self and one's thoughts.
I can't say enough about how much I feel everyone who can...should take this journey. Each person's journey will be entirely their own...which is the point really.
Both journeys I have taken so far have found me digging deeply into my inner child and giving her a chance to shine, be…

Meghalla on the Roof drop
As I said, I will post the painting I did for a small theatre company on a relatively small drop (15' high x 25' wide). It is hard to take a photo of something that size laying on the floor, but here it is.

Wall Art
Just to demonstrate that I haven't been entirely without productivity....

a few weeks ago, I painted 'a walk in the woods' on my mother's outside brick wall, for her enjoyment.
I thought I would post the process/stages here, for your enjoyment or amusement.

Retreat and back again
I cannot encourage people enough to take the time for yourself, for self contemplation and to step away from your day to day life.
My retreat was a fabulous success. I spent the 5 days enjoying the opportunity to explore my inner self and (thank goodness) I came away deciding that I do like who I am (which is damned good thing because in the end I cannot walk away from me!) I found myself integrating my childhood into my adulthood which I had no expectation of doing. I walked the indoor and…

Hey Nancy, I have spent my day organizing photos and posting some on my page. I know you can see the one bobbin lace photo that Caroline commented on but are you able to access the 3 Photo Albums that I created? I can see them but I don't know if they are accessible to others. I see on your wall you have this wonderful slideshow of your beautiful work. Can I somehow do that with my albums?

I don't know many lace makers. I learned from Maria Clancy. I first saw the technique while flipping through a library book looking for something totally unrelated and was fascinated by it. Then a month later came across a Lacemakers "convention" I guess at the RA Centre so I went in with Ian and the girls to see what was up. It was amazing and I figured I would never be able to figure it out; however, there was a woman working with hundreds of bobbins on her pillow and her hands were flying. I was later told that she was blind. I thought if she could do it then I could at least figure out the basics....that's about as far as I have gotten. lol

It is lace making. Who is your friend? I learned a few years ago when I lived in Ottawa. I wish I could find someone here. My friend calls me a repository of the dying arts. lol I have a need to know how things are made. I know the techniques to show others but am not a master of any. If I don't know how I sit down and teach myself....I have been trying to figure out Nalbinding for a while with limited success.
