Launching a vision

Just a simple, picture-less post.... I launched my studio on Facebook today. It's time to take concrete steps towards exhibiting, creating more, and selling my works. It ain't gonna happen if I don't stick my neck out there!

The Facebook page will focus largely on sharing tips, what's new in the studio, and occasional giveaways to make it fun. Who doesn't like to win something now and again? I also am gathering pieces from different artists and their visions to use on my sun printed fabrics and other cool printable items. This excites me to no end! There are so many keen eyes out there, who feel the world with their lens in ways I cannot. Stay tuned to meet some soulful artists and how I am taking their captures and turning them into wearable, usable art, mini-books and the like.... a little something to make your world more beautiful...

If you are a Facebook user, come visit me here - and, please, share the word!

Namaste,
Diana

Mojave Light Studio on Facebook....

Okay, I lied. This isn't really a picture-less post. Here's one angle of my studio with my faithful conspirator in all things creative, the Tobster. Forgive me if I've posted this shot before. Every home has one spot where you simply feel good being in it. This is mine....it's in the center of my house, under a big picture window that gazes out my backyard into the desert hills. I can watch the storms come in from here, the hummingbirds at the feeder, and the rabbits torment Toby. The mojave sun warms my soul in the cold months and is shielded by the huge fruitless mulberry in the warm ones and my mind gets to wander all it wants....

What to you think about as you meander around the great outdoors? Do you meander in the great outdoors? If not, you absolutely should. Dr. Shay's orders. It's good for what ails you and reinforces all that doesn't.  I stumbled upon this poem somewhere on the 'net.  Something to turn over in your mind as you wander instead of the usual things that can strip us of peace and joy..... My favorite light at the end of the day - just before sunset..... 2012 ©Diana Shay Diehl / JTNP Promise Yourself... To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and pr...

Seeking Shelter (aka Querencia 2)

I am having trouble picking up my camera lately. The spark of creativity is buried underneath a pallor of human unkindnesses. Can't watch the news or read the internet or walk through the staffroom without feeling personally assaulted in some way. The world outside is coming alive with wonderful spring light and peeps of color. The air is warm and alive with happy chirps and the whir of wings as life gets busy making more life. But I stare at it from inside. Unable to move. Tears spill over without warning. There's a sharpness to my speech. Breathing is shallow as it burns in my chest. I feel like a thousand elephants sit on top of me. The only solace is my walking buddy, Toby, who insists on his daily walk - which we do. Most of the time. And I always feel, a little, better. I turn off the tv. I limit the internet to communicating with friends and family on "good things",  researching fun lessons, or playing a mindless game (or 2) of (dare I say it), CandyCrush. Bu...

Feeling a little melancholy of late. Maybe I'm just tired - lacking B vitamins. Maybe I'm just missing time with my daughter and middle son. Or, it's not enough time in nature or with people who are kind, genuine, gentle... Too much 'stuff' to do on my plate and not enough of the stuff that makes my soul sing...  I spent all of today, sitting, listening to stuff I heard the last time I sat and listened. I don't sit well. I always feel like I'm on the outside of the fishbowl looking in at the place I spend the majority of my days - particularly when there are staff gatherings. Ah well, such is life. Sometimes we are swimming with the school....sometimes we are flip-flopping helplessly on the shore - hoping to be noticed and rescued.  Today, I think I needed to be rescued. "Mama said there'd be days like this There'd be days like this my mama said......." (First sung by the Shirelles, no? Or was it Sam Cooke?) I'm also kind of missi...
