Doll Journey:Sweet Spot

After focusing on the flames, more inspiration has welled up in my spirit. This is what so many artist search for before they create. For me, it comes as I get quiet, busy my hands and meditate on what is in front of me as well as what is pouring out of me. The inspiration isn't just for what I am working on at the time, it overflows into everything. I mean EVERYTHING. I begin to create in the still moments before I sleep, in my dreams I am fulfilling the  promises of future appointments.
 It is:
 THE SWEET SPOT!
The place where you know that you are doing exactly what you are called to do.
Where you are fulfilling your greatest desires and drawing on wisdom that rests within.
When you are led by the creative spirit instead of a  thwarted body and confused mind.
Your eyes are on the prize and you can feel the hope it carries into your life.

There is nothing else like it-
To be exactly where you are supposed to be-
No Questions asked-

No Doubts remain.
Blessings.

Oh Ralonda! This is indescribable. My heart sings when I look at this. You know, when I started my first blog I named it HeartWideOpen. That's also my personal email... and when I saw this I thought, yes, heart wide open and God's cleansing fire flooding in and then flooding outward to love others with His love. What a blessing to see this today! Thank you, and I believe this doll is going to be a huge blessing for you as you create.
HuGGs!

Debi, I am so glad you found this to be a blessing to you. I always grow and learn as I create, that is why I am sharing these posts. I hope that more people will learn to draw on what is unique to them and create their on their own.
Blessings, Ralonda

Beginning again.

I feel as if I am beginning again. However, I have so many things in place from when I really first began this creative journey. I am beginning again, but I am not starting from scratch. The trials of the past have given me perseverance I had not idea I possessed. I am still recovering from a major life change but I am allowing my life to become better and trying very hard to not become bitter... I am finding that I am not having to try so hard at it lately. I have hope. I have a new vision. I have wisdom to stop and pray. I have Grace. I have Mercy. And most of all, I have love. I have the love of so many sweet supporters and friends and family. People who constantly encourage me and remind me of why I create. Why I love to teach people. Why I get out of bed each morning. I have a commitment to stop and spend time with God and meditate each day with him on the creative process he has called me to. I had forgotten what peace and joy there is in that little bubble of medit...

The over the top Beaded Cogs Steampunk Style necklace I created for the Fashion Colorworks 2010 Beading Contest made it to the finals. You can go and rate the top ten from 1-5 here . Here are the fabulous photos my wonderful photographer (Thanks again BRAD!!!) took and while it was at his house his wonderful wife and president of the Dallas Bead Society got to prance around and wear it for the day. I told her she had to wear it for a whole day before she sent it home to me! He takes awesome photos!!! It wasn't the first time my beady friends have snagged it to wear for the day. One of them still claims it is a birthday gift that I haven't given to them yet. Thanks for stopping by!

Thank You

I want to thank everyone for your kind comments on "Effy' whether here or by email. I also want to thank everyone who has been encouraging me to pursue the many facets of beading as an art and a business. Who would have thought one thing could be so fulfilling in so many different facets. The result of having such encouraging friends is the developement of my very first pattern and kit. Beaded Cogs SteamPunk Style And there are four colorways. I have a limited number of kits right now but after I teach my first class I will be able to put together more. If you want more information you can leave a comment with your email and I will get back to you.
