I hope it helps you as much as it helped me, every word resonates with me, a miracle. It explains so much of my negative feelings of the past weeks. Gratitude with a capital G!!<br />

I was taken in a whirlwind of activities and decisions to take because of my aging parents, the coming months are going to bring so many changes in our family, and most of them are hard to accept.Plus there is so much to do in the garden, and i had not much energy to face all this, so time passed and here i am, a bit under the weather i acknowledge.<div>
Spring is here, full of bird songs and flowers but after a warm beginning the temperatures are now really cold even if most days are sunny. Perfect weather to work in the garden in fact.</div>
<div>
And every day i have some lovely visitors:</div>
<div>
This funny woodpecker:</div>

If you want to give a try at handmade stamps, mixed media artist Tracy Bunkers published an excellent book some years ago: "<b>Print and Stamp" 52 ideas for handmade, upcycled print tools</b>"<br />
where she shows how to print and stamp with ordinary stuff we have at hand: rubber bands, garden knilling cushion,paper clips... My next step in creating handmade stamp is to teach myself how to carve them. More to come!<br />
<br />
I send you peaceful thoughts friends, may you be well and at ease. Namasté<br />

<br />
March is quite over and it's been a strange month, full of ups and downs and i chose to keep in mind only the things that lightened it: the visit of a dear friend i hadn't seen for almost three years, and a nice trip in Brittany last week during a warm and sunny day with another friend.<br />
This is the bay of Cancale and in general one can see the mount Saint-Michel from there but this day there was a light fog so, no view of the mount alas.<br />

This little town is especially known for producing oysters and everywhere around Cancale, one can buy the famous oysters stored by the producers in big warehouses.<br />
<br />
But instead of going to Cancale that we already visited several times, we headed toward Port Mer, a lovely village close to Cancale and this was a pure delight!The beach is small and circled with big rocks, typical from Brittany.<br />

With pine trees everywhere, rocks and such sun, we could have been on the south coast of France when we were less than two hours from our place in Normandy!This day was definitely a beautiful parenthesis.<br />
<br />
On the creative front, not much happened this month, just some sewing. One day, i felt the urge to sew a labyrinth in a textile book i began some months ago and it took a moment before i understood why this urge: because of difficult choices i felt as if i was at a crossroads and couldn't choose which way i would take. Sewing didn't bring the answer but was soothing and i am grateful for that.Looking at the picture now, i realize that the two scraps of fabric i added probably represent the obstacles i have to face, but when i saw them, i didn't know why i absolutely wanted to add them.<br />

I will end this post with small hearts i saw last month , a small project i had in mind for a while; i needed the hearts to hang on branches i painted in white and hanged on a wall. I acknowledge i do like the result. For the hearts i used my favorite piece of white bed sheet and stamped on it with acrylic paint.<br />

I wish you peace wherever you are and i will let you with this quote from Louise Bourgeois:<br />
"The act of sewing is a process of emotional repair". So true!<br />

I really enjoy documenting my creative work and i noticed it has an impact on my inspiration and i tend to procrastinate less since i began to work at this project.<br />
Seth Apter posted on his blog photos the participants sent him. If you would like to see the pictures it is <a href="http://thealteredpage.blogspot.fr/2017/02/artifacts-january-2017.html">here</a>. You won't see my work, i haven't sent him any pictures yet because the box was not finished.<br />
I am a bit of a slow worker.<br />
May you be peaceful and at ease.<br />

11th of february already! It is time i show up and give some news of what's going on on the norman front. After a quite difficult month of january with some personal stressful issues, february began softly and brought its lot of solutions and happy endings and even some nice surprises (sigh of relief!) including , guess what?......Some snow! Rare enough in this part of the world to be seen as a real treat! Of course it didn't last but anyway, i had the pleasure to discover the field blanketed in snow this morning and it made my day.</div>

This year i registered again to<a href="http://lisasonora.com/30-day-journal-project/"> 30 Day Journaling Project</a> by Lisa Sonora. Every day some prompts arrive in my email box to ponder about ; it is an excellent way to avoid the blank page anxiety and at the same time taking a moment every day to answer one or more of the prompts can create a discipline . To do so i made myself a small book .<div>
This is the front cover, made in an upcycled book packaging. It ended more busy than i wanted but i like it anyway. techniques used: Stamping,collage : dried flowers, images from old book and some drawings . Gesso, acrylic paint and inks for the background.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-958LDSpr8rQ/WJ9hwGll8PI/AAAAAAAACXg/DoPsLE5hRtw7TOn8ZoBQrrl_752W2ITGACLcB/s1600/IMG_2516.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-958LDSpr8rQ/WJ9hwGll8PI/AAAAAAAACXg/DoPsLE5hRtw7TOn8ZoBQrrl_752W2ITGACLcB/s320/IMG_2516.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /><div>
Front cover with a handmade "ribbon". I like to make "ribbons" with strips of an old white bed sheet. In general i put paint and stamping on them but this time i sewed just a line of black stitches, the cover was busy enough.</div>

I made the signature with a paper lightly yellowed with age and in the corner i pasted birds photocopied in black and white; i made pale copies and used colored pencils to give them an ancient feel not visible on the photo alas.</div>

<div>
<br />
<div>
"When our"fight or flight" response is in charge, humility, compassion, forgiveness and the vision of a beloved community do not stand a chance. Learning how to hold life's tensions in the responsive heart instead of the reactive primitive brain is key to personal, social and cultural creativity."Parker J.Palmer.</div>

-<a href="http://tanglewoodthreads.blogspot.fr/">Penny Berens's blog Tanglewood Threads</a> one of the places where i find comfort among pictures of nature and embroidery . P.Berens's last project with embroidered pebbles litterally fascinates me. I have not found out exactly why but looking at her embroidered pebbles, i felt something like a strong and peaceful energy emanating from her work. I don't know if this makes sens but i find no better way to express my feeling.</div>

This capability to respond to hatred and extremism with a peaceful dignity is the sign that the awakening of consciousness is taking momentum at this time.<br />

<br />
Sharing stuff wich can uplift other people's spirit is important, especially when there is darkness and heaviness in many places of our world but not only.To me, beauty is necessary as a nourishment for the soul ,seeking for it around me is a discipline and a life saver in difficult moments .It is why i decided to share links with you each time i read and see beautiful things on a blog.<br />
<br />
<div>
The first link will lead you to<a href="http://foxglovelane.com/blog/"> Catherine Drea's website</a>; she is an irish photographer and her pictures are breathtaking. Each time i visit her blog, i am in awe. She captures the essence of what she photographies, and the light, the light!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
The second blog is Kim Andersen's, <a href="http://artinredwagons.blogspot.fr/search?updated-min=2017-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&updated-max=2018-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&max-results=14">Art in red wagons</a>, where she shares beautiful pictures, words and art. Just a picture and some words thoroughly choosen and a piece of poetry appears.<br />
<br />
I will let you for now , be well.<br />

I feel and have always felt within me as a citizen of this big world, a member of this huge community called humankind and so,even if i was born in another country than yours, i feel close to you. There is a strong kinship between you and me and my heart, at this time, is heavy because yours are. I remember my stupefaction when i saw the result of the presidential election in USA. I couldn't believe it because i acknowledge i never thought the dark side would win, never! I cried all day, i felt devastated, lost, powerless. You were in my mind all the time and what i read on many blogs added to my sadness. What could i do? How could i help? I felt useless in front of such a desaster and its consequences for the whole world.<br />
But after this wave of dark emotions, calmness came back and with it, a quiet determination to do something, whatever small it could be, but i would do it. And it is how i began to write on this blog i created years ago without posting anything else than videos made by other people .<br />
<br />
And here i am , writing this post to tell you my solidarity ,to send you words of encouragement, to offer you my sincere friendship and i know that accross the globe a huge number of people share my feelings and will express them in their own way .<br />
A french political leader (whom i will vote for next may by the way) said "they have millions but we are millions" and yes, thanks to the internet we are millions who can get in touch easily , share informations , organize ourselves and create events to defend our values. We have this tremendous resource that is our creativity and we will use it to the fullest to save freedom, equality, human dignity and well being for all. International solidarity exists and we'll work hand in hand, peacefully and with the capacity of love that is ours and they will have to count with us.<br />
I remember, couple years ago when painter Jane Davies put a calling on her website to save the post office in her little village , Rupert in Vermont. She asked people to send postcards to increase the amount of mail so that the administration couldn't not notice it and close the post office. People from around the world sent postcards, i did, neighbours did, friends on french forums did, and all together we won. There is allways something to do!<br />

"ARTifacts(plural noun): a collaborative project for 2017 documenting adventures in Art." </div>
<div>
You will find all the details<a href="http://thealteredpage.blogspot.fr/2017/01/artifacts-collaborative-project-for-2017.html"> here</a></div>
<div>
When i read Seth's blogpost about ARTifacts i knew it would be a great opportunity to focus more on my creative work ; through documenting i realized i would probably find momentum more easily and would tend less to procrastinate. And curiously it corresponded to an idea that poped-up in december wich consisted in creating kind of a mixed media book of the year where i would take notes about my creativity.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Couple of weeks later, i abandoned the idea of the book for a box and some old cards; the idea is to use two upcycled cards to create a small file for each month and in this file i will add some pictures of my monthly creations and a tag for journaling.Here are some pictures of the process:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The very beginning, a cardboard box and old cards about plants.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After some layers of black gesso:</div>

<br /></div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The front of a card in process: I sanded the card then inked with different colors and collaged squared paper and Washi tape. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vCpq1bL9Taw/WHu8yEB92vI/AAAAAAAACU0/oheW4V4yJMg2zIoaJCzkqrHC5VCBfCniwCLcB/s1600/artif4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vCpq1bL9Taw/WHu8yEB92vI/AAAAAAAACU0/oheW4V4yJMg2zIoaJCzkqrHC5VCBfCniwCLcB/s320/artif4.jpg" width="238" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is the inside of the card: i pasted paper i had sprayed with Cosmic Shimmer inks and some Distress inks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
. When i pondered about participating to ARTifacts, i knew i had to find a way to keep going during the whole year, so my rules are clear: "make it simple and use only the techniques i like most" and i think that if i stick at these rules, i shouldn't have to much trouble staying in the flow.</div>
<div>
I love this project, THANKS Seth Apter!!!</div>

One of the things i like more about handmade books, is the possibility to upcycle stuff to create them. I began one, couple months ago, with what i had at hand: the covers were made with an Amazon book packaging and the images were among scraps on my desk. The result is quite strong because i was in one of my black/red and white phases.<br />
This is the front cover, the circle is cut in wrapping paper.<br />

The dimensions are 12X15 cm, not the smallest book i have done but a comfortable size for me to work with. There are still some blank pages in it, let's see if i can fill them up during this year.<br />
I wish you a lot of good moments of creative work.Jeanne-Sylviehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15928882846367045151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6770111986740786901.post-24421722683741306322017-01-15T04:27:00.000-08:002017-01-15T04:27:36.001-08:00Sunday MettaRecently i discovered this simple and beautiful prayer on <a href="http://windthread.typepad.com/windthread/2016/09/softening-softening-taking-in.html">Grace Forrest's blog</a> : <span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">"May you be happy, may you be well, may you be safe, may you be peaceful and at ease".</span><br />
I adopted it immediately because i felt it as a way to spread benevolence in the univers for all beings.<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">If you want to know more about this practice , sharon Salzberg wrote <a href="http://www.vipassana.com/meditation/facets_of_metta.php">a very detailed article</a> about it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">So friends, this is my prayer for you today "May you be happy, may you be well, may you be safe, may you be peaceful and at ease". Just saying it is soothing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

That was it! I wanted to be more visible and that's a lot for me because as a hypersensitive person i tend to hide more than to attract attention. But to my great surprise, i feel capable to be visible wich mainly means to be more present on the internet, write regularly on this blog, participate to some events and dare to let comments on the blogs i read. It can seem very little but for me it is a huge progress and i think this is the benefit of focusing on my spiritual practice during the past year.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1dpgffPZ384/WHFBl9z9JoI/AAAAAAAACSY/AJFbORuUSvsKr2uF4wEqI1Ws4Vr4FTPRACLcB/s1600/IMG_2240.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1dpgffPZ384/WHFBl9z9JoI/AAAAAAAACSY/AJFbORuUSvsKr2uF4wEqI1Ws4Vr4FTPRACLcB/s320/IMG_2240.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
As for many people, 2016 has been a very difficult year for me: my father's illness,and the loss of my three very old and beloved cats( two of them died in january and the third one in november)made this year a terribly painful one.Add to this the international situation with a regular lot of bad news and you get the picture of a globally dark year.<br />
But inspite of moments of discouragement and days of depression, i held on to my spiritual practice and made it my first goal during the year and it worked. I begin this year with a peaceful mind, and for the first time in my life, some confidence in myself. That should be enough to make this new year an interesting one don't you think so?<br />

I am done with my first word, but there is a second one: "concentrate" and i owe this one to an excellent blogpost written by Teresa Robinson aka Stargardener "<a href="http://www.rightbrainplanner.com/concentrate-on-one-thing/">Concentrate on one thing</a>" . No more fluttering, i want to concentrate on one project at a time! Thank you Teresa!!<br />

" Knowing yourself is to be rootedd in Being, instead of lost in your mind."</div>

Absolutely magic! So, breakfast was quickly swallowed and off i went to take photos!!<br />
The landscape in this part of Normandy is very soft, with beautiful hills so pleasant to the eyes and this morning, whitened by the frost, the countryside was sublime.<br />
I began my walk with this narrow path and i don't know how much time i stayed there taking one picture after another.<br />

I don't know what awaits our dear Gaïa during this new year but i hope humankind will awake to more wisdom, tolerance, peace of mind and yes, more love and i am firmly determined to do my share and bring peace and gentleness around me as much as i can. It can seem insignificant regarding the issues on this planet but i know deep inside me it is not. Every effort counts, every act of kindness has an impact, every moment of inner awakening has a ripple effect probably much more important than we can imagine. So, i raise my cup of tea to 2017 and to all of you, blogger friends , may this year be soft for you and your loved ones .<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To begin this new year i decided to join in <a href="http://louisegale.com/">30 Days of Gratitude</a> initiated by<a href="http://louisegale.com/"> Louise Gale </a>, mixed media artist , well known for her work with mandalas but not only. 30 Days of Gratitude is a free event and every day, Louise Gale generously sends us prompts to ponder about; today's prompts were about our environment and why we can be thankful for it. As you can see in the picture above, i live in a beautiful and peaceful part of the french countryside and as an introvert and hypersensitive person, it is the perfect environment for me; i find in it all the silence and loneliness i need and i can contemplate nature to my soul's content.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To continue with gratitude, i decided to write regularly about the blogs i love to read, and this will be my way to thank these bloggers whose posts brought me so much inspiration, pleasure, comfort , wisdom and knowledges, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I begin today with my absolute favorites:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://apiferafarm.blogspot.fr/">Artist Katherine Dunn's blog</a>, she shares here her art and life on her farm called Apifera and her chronicles are a pure delight. K. Dunn doesn't only make beautiful paintings, she is a great story teller and photographer and she rescues many animals, especially elders, which is why she is so dear to my heart too.<a href="http://apiferafarm.blogspot.fr/"> Apifera farm this way!</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Second favorite rendez-vous: <a href="http://enchantedblueplanet.blogspot.fr/">Enchanted Blue Planet</a>, a lovely and peaceful blog hold by a sweet canadian artist who shares her wisdom, beautiful pictures of her environment, her art and her two adorable cats, Muji and Babu.Mrs Edwards (i coudn't find her first name) has a gift to share things with simplicity and kindness and she is one of these beautiful and wise persons who know to appreciate the small things of life, and that's why i love her blog so much.So, if you don't know her blog, <a href="http://enchantedblueplanet.blogspot.fr/">it's right here .</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A long time favorite,Seth Apter's blog<a href="http://thealteredpage.blogspot.fr/"> The Altered Page</a>. Not only is Seth Apter an important artist of mixed media art but he is also a gentleman, an example of courtesy and kindness. I rarely dare to let a comment on the blogs i read but i did once on his blog and i was amazed by his gentle answer. Generosity is another of his qualities : he has been promoting other artists' work sharing links in a weekly post for years and he shares a lot of excellent material in his blogposts.</div>

Last week was hard for many of us, especially those living in the USA, but even if i am not an american citizen, i was under shock when i read the news. It took me a while to go beyond sadness and discouragement but i am on board again and i know that even if there is little i can do, i will do it. I will do my share with determination because i don't want to look at the world we all live in sink in darkness without doing all i can. I believe in peace, kindness, compassion, respect and love and I know we all have enough inner resources to make the world a better place all together. All we need is a peaceful mind and an open heart , they are the fertile and easily available ground we need to grow seeds of hope, light and creativity. It is why i consider my spiritual practice more important than ever and i see my task to spread peace around me more sacred than ever. This is where i find light and hope because i know deep within me that peace is infectious and it is known too that all brains are connected, scientists have proved it, so what are we waiting for? Let's spread peace and work peacefully to make the world a better place ALL TOGTHER.<br />
For those of you who are sad or don't find peace and hope, i collected beautiful blogposts that flowered on the internet as an answer to despear and fear and i want to share them with you because they brought me a lot of comfort and hope in humankind. Here they are:<br />
