a journey of self discovery. You just never know what we might see. Is that a fairy ring under that rowan tree? Look! - a hedgewitch, I wonder what she is brewing in her cauldron today. Oh, and look at that poor menopausal soul, she needs our love & understanding. We may take a stop at the creativity school or a wander through the garden. And maybe, we will take the time machine back to the past! But wherever we go, we will always take time to stop for tea.

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Katoomba, NSW, Australia

here I am in a little cottage that evokes the energies of my ancestral lands - a cottage on the moors of Cornwall, or on the cliff tops of Ireland or Scotland. It has a hearth. I am a hedge witch {of sorts}. I wear upcycled clothes, patchouli oil and Redback boots. I am a gypsy; an eccentric and a mystic [I often live with a foot in two worlds]. I serve my guests, tea from an old silver teapot. I love Vervain, yarrow, chamomile & mint. Star watcher and Moon gazer. story cloth weaver. keeper of family dreams and wishes. good friend and creator of life. herbal tea drinker and potion maker.

mixed media memoirs

this week - I AM ORANGE - I don't particularly like the colour orange so I thought it would be difficult, but I have had fun with this - I related it to the sacral chakra - the one I have trouble with mostly - it is connected to creativity & sexuality, emotions of anger, resentment and frustration
crystals for the sacral chakra include - carnelian, orange jasper, orange calcite
essential oils of ylang-ylang, jasmine, patchouli, sandalwood and cinnamon.
Wear orange when you need self confidence or courage, wear it when you experience insecurity or self doubts.


I played with this collage - using techniques that I hadn't used before - I used beeswax and modge podge and had a try at drawing - I am quite happy with it, actually make that very happy with it - does that mean my sacral chakra is balanced today?

the words around the outside are affirmations - 'to feel my fears, to see, to know and to understand what these fears are about. I experience them in a loving peaceful, painless and joyous way.'

Picasso? I love the image... the face, the belly and of course how you wrote your affirmations around the perimeter. Great composition.

Oh, Robyn, I love this! The drawing, the words, the spiral at the core and the Carmen Miranda-style headpiece, the shiny beeswax - all of it's just REALLY wonderful.

Wonderful! What fun! This is great - I can tell that you have loosened up and are starting to have fun, yeah? Work always looks better when we had fun doing it I think. One of my walls is about to become a burnt shade of orange - I love it.

Robyn, I love orange, surround myself with it, but can’t wear it because I am a winter and it looks awful on me! Beautiful that you are trying to embrace it! Most of the perfume I wear has a patchouli undertone to it. I also like to mix, a quality patchouli and ylang-ylang together in oil as a perfume. When I wear filigree and patchouli together, I get so many compliments.
Love the sheen on your collage!
Peace Sherrie
