Catching up with art

Hi everyone :o) 

It's been quite some time since I've sketched in my journal. Writing has been a priority, but I finally dug out the watercolour crayons and let my creativity flow onto the pages. Yay! I wasn't sure where it would take me, but I'm happy with the outcome of the brief playtime. Hopefully, in the near future, I will make some art dolls again.

Adding a splash of colour

 The Mystic ~ As above, so below 

Made of stars ~ Her galaxies are flowers

 Alice's Wonderland of Love

 I'm not sure why, but I drew their eyes out of proportion. They remind me of caricatures.
The one on the left of my niece, Heidi. :o) 
 Below, I thought I would try something different.  Rainbow aura ~ the soul of a lost star. In the book, the character, Chance, reminds Bea that his hand will always be in hers. It is a promise that his soul will find hers even in the darkest times. He asks her to keep her light bright.

Love and light,

Trace

The goddess & poet...

 Sketches for the goddess & poet

 ....She is about love & protection

  Love is also a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection; 

and "the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another"

 .....She is about truth

  Codex Alimentarius (Latin for "Book of Food") 

Still a subject of considerable controversy... 

... a proposal that no herb, vitamin or mineral should be sold for preventive or therapeutic reasons, 

and that supplements should be reclassified as drugs. 

The proposal was agreed, but protests halted its implementation.

 ...the yin ... yang

...a belief that there exist two complementary forces in the universe. 

One is Yang which represents everything positive or masculine 

and the other is Yin which is characterized as negative or feminine. 

One is not better than the other. 

Instead they are both necessary and a balance of both is highly desirable.

Yin is soft while Yang is hard. Yin is stillness while Yang is movement. 

The sun is yang while the moon is yin. Female is Yin while Man is Yang. 

Mountain is Yin while the river is Yang. Intuitive is Yin while Logical is Yang. 

Winter is Yin while Summer is Yang.
