Dear Yogis, 

Christmas is coming and I get asked for all kinds of things – thank you.  Tarot Readings (I especially like doing these at this time of the year), paintings, sewing… thank you all so much.  Everything helps me keep on with yoga and working with my students.

ARTIST DENIM CARRY BAG.….I am making a recycled denim carry bags to accomodate a medium size canvas (if you want bigger I can make to order) – mostly because I needed some (more than one).   This 25inch x 25 inch bag(or larger by personal order) is a must have for any artist like me who takes work to galleries, clients and shows, it makes transporting  art a breeze. This sturdy bag made of recycled denim, will carry a stretched canvas with ease. Very wide 2.5 inch  straps keep the bag in place on your shoulder and thick study denim fabric serves to protect paintings during transport.  Cost $62.50 including postage.  The one in the photo is black, but my bags are usually denim fabric colour – like jeans. Sometimes I can get black, not often.

This carry bag is an absolute necessity for any artist, particularly those who regularly participate in art shows. It will make a fantastic gift for any artist on your list! I started making these bags for myself because I am frequently setting up at my art shows by myself. I am able to carry six canvases at a time, three on each shoulder, making set up, tear down and storage very efficient.  When others want to help, this bag is very easy, visible, and minimises theft and damage.

My denim bag is so much easier to store than traditional hard sided portfolio bags, I have these and they just take up space – and at my place space it at a premium.  These denim bags  just fold or roll up and can be tucked away until needed. Both stylish, practical and long lasting…  the denim will live for a very long time,

This sturdy bag can also be used to store art pieces, and help to reduce our reliance on plastic packaging – every little bit helps the environment! and it helps to re-use discarded denim.  To order yours contact yogafirst2@bigpond.com  (You will know my bags, they all have a little silk golden angel logo sewn into them).

Dear Yogis,

All hurry, hurry at this time of the year.  End of year parties – I would prefer “start of year” parties.  My little gallery opens in February, so already it is shaping up to be a big year for me.  Although this is a gallery opening, it is also a school opening….  an art school, so if you want to complete a work, start a work, I can help you.  Please email you interest to yogafirst2@bigpond.com

I am almost finished the beautiful jacket in the photo.  It is a reversible fabric, and to be honest looks very Tibetan, although that was not my aim.  I love it.  This is pure wool and quite heavy, and if you want one in whatever fabric you choose, now is the time to ask for it.  I would love to make something especially for you.  This jacket is almost totally hand sewn, and will be a garment that will last for many years.  If you are a “wear it throw it away” person, then probably I am not the artist for you, but if you want a garment that is couture made, and will last for many seasons and look fabulous, then already, I am your girl.

If you need me, you will find me painting Unicorns, Angels, and Painting Angel Altar pieces  – there will never be enough or enough time to paint more..  My Little ANGEL GALLERY will open the week before Valentines Day – a Day of love and forgiveness.  Everyone needs a personal angel altar piece… just as a reminder that there is a peaceful way.

It’s Sunday in December, not even Christmas,  the planned exhibition is in February, and already I have run out of “Little Studio” hanging space!  The work has morphed from miniatures to large, large paintings, primarily because people have been donating canvas to me – I did sort of say to the universe “show me where I am going with this”, and the canvases started to show up – so that’s the answer.  As the Buddha said “do what’s in front of you”.   So, no plans, just do.

I am selling my work to people who ask along the way which means that I can afford to keep on following the Universe – I am looking forward to where I end up.  I think I can still hold my gallery exhibitions here, but let’s see – I just may not have room, or i could do it by invitation and on-line.  I am learning… What occurs to me is to paint THE COMING OF THE COSMIC CHRIST (>>>>first come the angels….).

The next painting will be of the “Mother and Child” in angel form.  I am looking forward to what will emerge.

If you need me, you will find me painting Unicorns, Angels, and Painting Angel Altar pieces  – there will never be enough or enough time to paint more..  My Little ANGEL GALLERY will open the week before Valentines Day – a Day of love and forgiveness.  Everyone needs a personal angel altar piece… just as a reminder that there is a peaceful way.
