Hocus Pocus

Just not Halloween without a mention of Hocus Pocus 1993 film that featured Bette Midler ... and Binks the Cat!


Also the famous living 
                                           book..
I was surfing the net to find the words to the song" I'll put a spell on you and found a group on line that
have started a project to recreate the "Hocus Pocus Book of Spells"

Well, this was a great idea.  I have made all types of books, and their bindings.  Embroidered Medieval Covers.  French Spines ....why not a Living Book.

I researched the pages and found around 50 of them,'
captured a picture of a Living Book from an on line Book of Spells. 

And now to gather the materials for the cover .... several years ago I produced a leather like cover from a paper bag, It truly looked like leather.  If, I run across the picture I will post it, and have a ton of clay, tons of inks and paints...so I am on a quest.

If, any of you are interested in joining me, please do.  We can share our progress and mistakes...

Featured on Esty to night will be a smaller ribbon for BOS and has a charm , not a very good picture.


Wishing you a lovely evening and chat soon.

As always,
May you walk in  the moonlight till the wind sets you free.

Walk in the Moonlight

Alter Cloth 10 X10 This Luna Moon cycle is embroidered on a
deep purple crushed velvet.
currently it has not be cut from a very long
strip of fabric, It could be a runner of any
size or cut to meet an Alter cloth.

I tested this from a request from a customer
but, I think I took to long and she lost interest.

This project is on hold. So if you would like to
discuss the possibilities of this project, just send
an e:mail .

Short post tonight as I have run out of spoons.

As always
May you walk in the moonlight till the wind sets you free

Friday!

Lupus Butterfly

Tree of Seasons Alter Cloth






Hello! Welcome Back!






Today I am displaying a 3D butterfly, I listed this on my Etsy shop and it is a very special butterfly to all that have a loved one or self, as the month of October is Lupus awareness month.






So, this purple butterfly has been made and selected as an item that when purchased the money will be turned in to the Lupus Foundation.






Most of you who have a loved one or perhaps you suffer from a disease that is little known and each and every person suffers differently. At times the suffering goes into remission and you can live a partial normal life, still the fatigued, the aches and pains.






Lupus affects your own body's amune system. When a normal person suffers from an ear ache, your amune antibodies rush to heal, with Lupus, the antibodies are so confused that they attack not only the infection but all of the healing antibodies so that instead of healing the organ that was infected as well as the healthy organs are destroyed.



Back in February I suffered an ear infection, several weeks later, my hearing was gone, and the pressure in my left ear was painful, the result of this infection has taken my hearing and even with a tube placed into my ear for drainage, the ear healed but I could hear just after the surgery and now weeks later, I am left again with the inability to hear. Along with a seeping 24 hours a day.



So Lupus attacks were ever your infection is. Each is individual, I was placed on Steroids several months ago which has helped greatly, with one exception ....weight gain, moon face and a blood red rash on my face.






Sounds great? not so bad for an older person but the ones that suffer are the young ones, they are just starting their college and life,






Well, enough of this, Just mentioning that the purple 3d Butterfly has been listed .
If, you know someone who would love this butterfly please tell them.


The second item listed on Etsy this morning is an offering for the Pagan viewer, an alter cloth of the 4 seasons. As the seasons turn just turn the leaves in fro of the alter to match the seasons.


It is a large 20x20 and in a heavy black cotton. It should last your life time and able to hand down to the next generation.


It is priced as a Sale item, and if you mention this blog . I will offer free shipping to you, Just pay the postage and I will return the postage back to you through Pay Pal.


I must mention the herbs that are in my greenhouses as several of e:mail me with questions of availability, all the poison plants are to divided in a week, but will not be available till the spring.


The passionflower in red, purple and white have just been rooted and also available in the spring,

If you would like to place your name on a list for either one, and also what is available by name, just convoy me and I will tell all.


I wish you happy Friday (french fry Friday for me ....I do not cook on Fridays, hubby brings take away ...hopefully it will be Panda Express this day...fingers crossed) and a productive week end.


As always,


May you walk in the moonlight till the wind sets you free.
