Total Art Soul - For Artists

Tonight's most favorite creation! Clara Blue has been posted in my gallery!

These pretty little buttons were handcrafted of earthenware clay rolled to a thickness of 3mm. The glaze is Saddle Tan and decals have been fired into that glaze so they will never wear off!

I’ve just added a new rosary to the web site, a lovely pink and blue design using Swarovski pearl beads. The rosary is devoted to Saint Clare of Asssi who is a Patron Saint of eye disease,embroiderers, gilders, good weather and needleworkers. I will include a prayer card with the rosary depicting various prayers to Saint Clare that you may like to pray.

I’m also creating new rosaries in the run up to Christmas (I know, it’s a little early – but I want enough stock for my beautiful customers). I’m hoping to create more sterling silver designs and maybe some new faith bracelets too, as these are becoming just as popular with my customers.

Don’t forget, if you have any special requests or comments then please don’t hesitate to ask, I love doing bespoke work for my customers ♥ Until next time, wishing you a beautiful weekend filled with much love and joy! God bless, Emma x x

If wasn't too long ago, in fact just days that I was talking about 'first days'. Those moments, first days..experiences..events are usually, indeliable etched in our memories, and the anticipation of new 'first days' can drive us mad with excitement and impatience...This event is one of a very few, but critically important 'first days' that I have booked in my calendar...

Stay tuned for more...

Here is an interesting concept.

Time.

It heals wounds. It flies by so quickly. Sometimes it stands still. And almost always we don't have enough of it. We desperately try to find more time in our lives. Time to complete those never-ending tasks, time to see people we haven't seen, time to spend with our families, time to relax. Before we know it our entire life has already happened and yet we forgot to find the time for the most important thing- enjoying life.

Yes, certain things have to be done. Appointments need to be attended. House needs to be cleaned and family members need to be looked after. We can't put our lives on hold in order to find the time to enjoy life and we shouldn't have to in a first place.

It's the little ways of noticing those beautiful moments of life that matter. Little ways of dedicating some time of the day for your favourite things. Read the book you've been wanting to read for months; take that dream getaway; organize & redecorate your living space the way you want it; call up the friend you've been meaning to see for a while; start working out. Whatever you've been wanting to do- do it now. Because there is no time like the present moment. After all, we don't know what tomorrow will bring, so might as well live your life to the fullest TODAY!

Creating Moon Light Photography

Moon light photography is a pretty interesting form of low light photography that I stumbled upon recently.  It is interesting because the colors that come out of it are true color without the sun's yellow rays.  Also, the shadows are really neat.

This one was on the golf course I live on in October.  It was one of the brightest moons in a long time.

These are clouds in the sky in the same shoot.

Creating moon light photography requires a full moon or near full moon. It isn't as easy as it seems.  There are some requirements for this type of photography.  First, a digital SLR camera with manual controls of F stop and shutter speed control.  One needs to experiment to get the right combo. Hence, a tripod is necessary. You must stay up late or wake up in the middle of the night when the moon is overhead in the sky. Focusing is hard to do in the dark.

This week I shot some more shots this week:

The shadows here are more prevalent.

 

Good Luck!
