continuing on from yesterday Participating in an artful e-course is an adventure in trust and wonder (in my experience) . . . you see some things beforehand and get a feel for whether it's for you or and then you choose to dive in... then begin and just trust that whatever you're meant to get out of it you will, and the more you give creativity' time to yourself within that time the more you will benefit. http://www.denisedaffara.com.au/blog/show-tell-from-gypsy-creativitea-2015# below are some more seret pages shared here for the benefit of those who would like to know . . . is this Gypsy adventure for me? Smashbooks are great to use together with your children or indeed your own inner child.  Isabelle joined us from Canada and with two young daughters she has her hands full... and due to her delightful gypsy spark... she and her daughters enjoyed making henna designs on their hands - how precious is this.   Kendall joined us from USA and got right in touch with her fiery Gypsy'ness in the pages of her smashbook. Here is her 'Rune Gypsy' below.  Denise, Our GypsyTea from earlier this year of 2015 made my Summer special and memorable, I looked forward to the pages with excitement, imagination and a good sense of fun ! Thank you for a great time . Love, Kendall    Nicole joined in from right here on the Sunshine Coast where I live - we met virtually via a mutual friend of ours. You never know who there are in your midst or right across the other side of the world that you might meet in an online adventure. {I lOVE that about these online magics}   You may be surprised at how many little things you have around your home that speak or whisper to you about your Gypsy Soul . . . ask them to show themselves . . . and they will. 
See more 'Show & Tell" from Gypsy Creativitea on yesterday's blog post. Find out more about this Gypsy Creativitea adventure that you can join in from home ... we begin 10 January, but late comers will not be turned away. love Denise x  Participating in an artful e-course is an adventure in trust and wonder (in my experience) . . . you see some things beforehand and get a feel for whether it's for you or and then you choose to dive in... then begin and just trust that whatever you're meant to get out of it you will, and the more you give creativity' time to yourself within that time the more you will benefit. I am delighted to share with you some pages and pieces from some of my Gypsy sisters : I loved Denise's Gypsy creativitea course. Most importantly (other than being talented) she is authentic and true to who she is. No pretense or trying to be someone else. She is just herself from beginning to end, vulnerabilities and all. She opened the door for me to give myself permission to "go there" She has imporant work to do in this world that many can benefit from, apart from making pretty art. The art is of course an added bonus The following three paintings are by Nalda, she made a remarkable shift from painting 1 at the very beginning of the class on to painting 2 and 3 after only a couple of months of giving herself time to play. Thank you for sharing your remarkable work Nalda.   "What one can achieve in such a short time by simply allowing and letting one's creativity flow." Nalda.   For many students the use of the smashbook has a profound effect on freeing up some voices within that may not have had a safe space to to speak for a while, or possibly ever, or have not been able to be heard in the busy of life. This tool of 'smashbooking' can be an exceptionally helpful self healing tool, or simply a play space.. and all things in between. I am deeply touched at the vulnerability and openness willing to be shared with us here - thank you Donna. 
  Here are some passionate pages created by Tamera, in her smashbook she reminds me of the Gypsy's ability to handle whatever is coming at you and keep your power with you, to support your growth and blossoming of your own self trust.       Iris joined us from Finland and has now returned to Australia . . . her skills with SoulCollage® are very apparent and delighted us all.   Celia joined us from South Africa and was delighted to find herself painting on canvas ... and making her spare room into her studio on account of finding such a joy and passion in painting the many facets of Goddess and wisdom she works with.  "This was the first canvas painting I had done for years and years! It was called "Gypsy Girl with Moon and White Lily" I have gone off a bit on my own, but I am so excited because I have started a painting on canvas. This is the first time in years I have had the confidence to put paintbrush to canvas. The smash book process gave me the confidence to just go for it." Celia
  "This journey brought me much much needed fun. It was a playful and important reminder to stay light and joyful in life even though one may be in turmoil and even physical pain. A delightful journey. Here's my Gypsy Girl whom I adore, and who is always there cheering me on." What a soul touching Gypsy Girl emerged, thank you for sharing her with us Guru Kirn Kaur  Below is the Irish Gypsy that Aynia Breeze lovingly created. Painting a face can hold such tenderness for the painter, aspects of ourselves come out and a companion may be met to keep one company.  These are a delightful sampling of what some of the women created with heart and a large dose of Gypsy Soul. It is a gift to be shown someones artwork and I honour each ones vulnerability and bravery. Thank you xx Denise http://gypsycreativitea.com/ the e-course begins 10 January . . . join us there to get in touch with your Gypsy Soul and create a smashbook and maybe some paintings too. xo DD  |

Books I Love“There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic.”
