Lessons in Dreamtime....

.

Of waking dreams. And the spaces inbetween.....

Some new works.

Miette

.

.

Miette. Small and sweet (French). Inspired by my own childhood. My love affair with the twilight things... those darkly, most potent spaces between the hours in which only a child can discover such enchantments. Those fleeting moments when the spectral light of bluebells deep inside of the wildest, darkest woods can still your heart with wonder. When the hoot of a small owl or the curious thrill of a sudden breeze is enough to convince you of the eternal presence of all unseen things .

Twilight : a passport between worlds. 

Miette knows.

Lessons in Dreamtime

 

There had to be a school for the Magician's Daughters. And this is it. Neither here nor there yet everywhere. Magic is and always will be...a little weird.

These girls like cake. They are remarkably studious, despite their aura of dreaminess. Dreaminess is essential to a magical education. Without it there simply is no magic.

The Conjurer

 

Another for the Magician's Daughters. This is a close-up detail. She is actually walking the tightrope whilst performing. Such a spectacular little lady she is.

The tightrope was rather a foreign concept to her up until last week (Tuesday to be exact) before a certain smarty-pants recruit at the Art&Ghosts Circus dared her to give it a whirl. She turns out to be something of a natural, all things considered.

Thanks so much for visiting, as always!

Oh Lou. I am speechless! You are the magician here!! I love them all equally, and I could get lost in them for hours and days!! Magnifique!! xoxo

Lou, you just keep producing more and more beautiful work. Just the sheer amount of it makes me speechless....well, almost... hehe
I adore Recurring Hares; The Conjurer is beautiful; and the Hare Girl is quite sweet with her smug look on her face. As always, beautiful.

Just so you know, you've got me looking at dollies again. Well, it's not all your fault. My dolly friend here in CA just bought several new Custom House AIs and they are so beautiful!

Thanks again for sharing. I do have a package at the front office that I shall pick up tomorrow. I have a feeling it's from YOU! :D

I love The Recurring Hares and Miette (blue). :)

[Ben]

I love the first one especially.

The spaces in between are where the most magic happens...yes indeed I would agree! I am absolutely in complete and utter LOVE with the colors, the blues, the creams, the wishy-washyness watercolor look of these! You are forever amazing me with your images!
And I like the little trendy blue hat on Owlette. I have one of those! I like how you throw in fashion-y things on your images. Perfect.

The owls have been talking to me
But I’m sworn to secrecy

Nice to know Owlette is a sparklehorse fan... impeccable taste these friends of yours.

thanks very much, everyone, for your comments!

....

frankie - the custom house Ai's are seemingly sold out now, sadly, but ive been trawling the DOA forum this morning;)
i hope you like your gift, too!

sandy, pajara - thankyou both for the blog mention! i did take a peek:)))

ben - the first is also my favourite..

sarah - i had a feeling you would know the feelings i was trying to put over there! the hat that owlette wears is actually my own red beret with all the colour sucked out of it ~ i had to drag it around a bit and resize it, but it worked, just about, in the end!

benjamin - thanks for that, i had a nice relaxing five minutes there this morning. the first time i have rested all week;)

Wonderful! Your images are special on their own but the individual little stories adds an extra depth. I laughed when I read that Henrietta Duck had a difficult birth(sorry, Henrietta, that was insensitive) and your Hare Girl has fabulously wild hair - no doubt to match her wild spirit.
