December the Christmas month

It is December the 1st here in New Zealand
So that is putting me in mind of Christmas decorating, gifts and food preparing.
I am having all the family visit this year..how exciting...

Cheers Marie..

PS.... This was an early wool art piece of mine

Streaming ideas

I am often asked why my Waldorf inspired needle felt art is  different

I think the reason why my needle felting is a little different is because I do not have much history behind me.
Meaning that New Zealand is such a young country that my ideas are fresh, from the Southern Hemisphere, which has a very different vibe to( Europe the home of Waldorf)
I am not restricted to the normal Waldorf ideas
Some purists might say, I am not being true to the Waldorf way, (maybe my colors are a wee bit brighter than is acceptable or some such) but I reply that, being an island nation, I take what streams towards me from the cosmos and turn it into what it is.
I was really lucky to have an experience with Rudolf Steiner who said that the work I was doing in the world was much needed, bringing light into the world through my art.
So there you have it

Love and light  Marie

The wonder of imagination

I wonder what this little Gnome is thinking

I wonder why he is sitting under a tree

I wonder why he is bathed in moonlight

The wonder of imagination is very important to me

I do not put faces on my creations, I do not need to

They speak to the viewer of a different world

Of an Enchanted world

What people see in my art is always interesting

What do you see in this little Gnome?.

Love and light  Marie
