ONE OF A KIND… (OOAK) collectible hand-painted stone, shimmering with starlight and creative fire.
WHEN I’M PAINTING… I have the stone I’m working on, a.k.a. my canvas, and the stone I use as a palette. This ‘palette stone’ sits to my right and is used for working out the kinks in the pens, which tend to clog, especially when layering.
IN THE BEGINNING… when this stone got covered in scribbles and doodles and such like, I would wash it off in order to start over – a clean slate, a clean stone. But then I started to see beauty in these unintended marks. They told another tale; one I hadn’t consciously intended. Like channelling, I guess – more dreamscape than sea- or land-scene. And dreams and the subconscious fascinate me and have always featured strongly in my work.
SO I BEGAN… to use the unconscious marks as a base, and then create a conscious set of marks on top of them.
👈🏻 This stone belongs to this series.
THE SPLASHES… look like fireworks across a night sky, competing for space amongst the stars; a party of colours, an eruption of energy, vibrant and alive. It feels like summer or springtime: warm, golden, cheerful and positive; full of possibility. Sparking joy and igniting the imagination, this stone is alive with creative fire; a catalyst for new ideas, dreams, and projects. A birth stone, a creation stone, a manifesting stone – it sizzles with magic, casting spells of inspiration wherever it goes.
THIS STONE… was born to inspire and ignite new ideas and projects, attract new relationships and romances, and give birth to new beginnings – wherever you might seek them in your life.
STARLIGHT AND FIREWORKS
When you wish upon the stars,
and wonder weaves its way to you,
may you whisper to this stone,
and feel its quiet magic too.
Let it lift your hopes to heaven,
where colours blaze and dreams ignite,
cradling your softest secrets,
turning shadows into light.
👉🏻 WHAT WOULD… you like to give birth to?
👉🏻 WHAT LIES… in your future?
👆🏻 I HOPE YOU… find as much pleasure in gazing into this stone as I did in painting it.
👉🏻 INSPIRED BY: Jungian Psychology, the Tarot, dreams and dream analysis; and a love of stars, the night sky, fireworks as a visual and bright cheerful colours.
