I threw in an extra drawing while I was in the heat of the moment. I have not drawn in years. Actually I don't really like drawing that much. I don't know if I will ever do anymore of these. However when my Natropath asked me to keep a Journal while I change the way I eat. Unconsciously I looked at my feather collection and wanted to see if I could draw my feathers. He said when you feel angry, frustrated, sad etc, go to your journal and do something. You may say how does this all relate. Well like most of my work. Who knows I just go with the flow and somewhere down the track it all starts to make sense. But at the moment I'm not making any sense. You see that's just how it goes for me. Till next Blog post. Candy xx I have my Gallery all set up and can't wait to show you how it all looks. I've even had my first Open Studio visit. exciting times!!

This week I have set myself a little project. To draw one feather a day, for the entire week. I just adore light, whimsy feathers. When I see one on the ground I pick it up and put it my pocket. I have quite a collection. I have them all over the house, sticking out of drift wood and poping out of containers. I think to myself everytime I find a feather, it is a message from the universe. Telling me that it is listening. It reminds me to be thankful for my health, my families health, the blessings of my children and the inspiring, kind and wonderful people in my life. Though it may have just fallen off a bird that just flew by. It's my way of reminding myself that I am fortunate in so many ways. So join me this week as I count my blessing and draw a feather everyday for a week.
