Dear Yogis,

Although it is a holiday today – yoga still happens –  classes as usual…..

PLUS on zoom at 6.30 this evening  I will be showing you how I prepare my tea bags for painting.  Thank you for those who have enrolled – IT IS NOT A FREEBIE.

Since lock downs I have done many freebies and you are the winners….. but not this time although $7.50 this week and the same next week when we will learn to paint, and then the week after adding scraps, then after that sewing….     is only a little bit more expensive than a weekly cup of coffee.  Surely you can spare that to learn a new skill?

To pay (BEFORE YOU JOIN THE ZOOM)  I have included everyone who may be interested and hope you think this will be useful/creative and hope you will “invest” the price of a coffee….  go to www.yogabeautiful.com.au and click on PAY VIA PAYPAL.  You could also swing over to www.jhwilliams.online to see a few of my tiny paintings of the tarot..

When I get your PAYPAL receipt I will send you a zoom ID.

 In this zoom I share my strategy for preparing the delicate bags for  the painting process. The washing, cleaning, drying  step is the part of the process which I love the most, it’s where your paintings can come to life! But it can also be the part of the process where things go very wrong.   My supported cleaning/drying strategy is a little bit different to what most other people do, but it works for me and I hope it will work for you as well.

I am going to do the demo this week, and then follow up with painting next week..then adding scraps, and then sewing.  A new subject every week – I could charge a lump sum, but I am not sure how far we will take this.  

So make sure you watch it while you can!  It may take an hour, or less, or more – I haven’t shared this before so I am not sure.  Depends on how many questions you ask.

NAMASTE – JAHNE

Dear Yogis,

Easter Weekend, and raining… thank goodness.  Off to Church this morning.  A client was recently worried that I had forgotten the “true meaning of Easter”  after I had neglected sending out “bunny and egg” cards.  I don’t do Easter cards, I do church.  See you there.  I believe that going to Church (or contemplating the life of Jesus or other spiritual person of substance) gets to the heart of the Easter Celebrations, so that is what I do.

I will be at The Mount Macedon Gallery tomorrow morning (Saturday) between 10 and 1.  If you want to pop by and have a chat, I will be happy to see you.  At the moment I am considering working on some portrait/tea bag stitching if you want to drop in and check that I am really there, and not slacking off.  What about a whole family of fabric portraits/silhouettes on tea bags?  What a project that would be.

THE CHURCH?  One of my lovely students at Windarring used to go to a little bible class plus singing with our last minister when she was here.  She was a bit of a “Star”,  made quite an impression and when she left suddenly, the students were heartbroken.  EVERY DAY when I go to work they say “Have you spoken to her, has she sent a card, does she think about us”.  I have sent messages via the Church and received nothing in return.

Last week an email was received along the lines that this “Minister” is hugely busy, has nine services over easter and a large congregation and hasn’t the time to worry about past clients!  I thought this was a very interesting response, especially considering the image of Jesus rescuing the lost lamb – how much time would it take to dash off a caring email, or send a card!  It doesn’t give one much confidence in the modern Church.  Now I am heartbroken – not for the clients, not for me, but for the minister.
