Treasured Places

I participate in the #52tagshannemade (with Anne Brooke, https://www.annebrooke.co.uk/)

For the 14th week, the theme was: Pocket, favorite place, and treasures. I chose Quebec, Canada.

A few years ago we went for a one-month trip backpacking with my husband. We didn't have too much space to bring "treasures" other than great memories and digital pictures.  It's a beautiful country and we met lovely people.


We hope we'll go again to discover other regions.

 
This tag gave me another idea, to make a handmade book about the different places where I have been or lived, that marked an important time in my life. I have already lived in about 32 places without counting house-sitting while traveling.

The Fairies' Labyrinth

A fairytale, a true story, it's up to you. Nothing is impossible for those who believe in it.

Handspun and eco-dyed yarns. I had woven the mandala, and I decided to use this picture as a cover for my fairytale, "The Fairies Labyrinth." 

Here, you can read the story for free:

Stones from Kermagen - Des pierres de Kermagen

Stones. I love stones, pebbles, and rocks in general. I have the feeling they are alive, still in a meditative state and as old souls, full of wisdom.
I talk to them, I have some in my house, in my art studio, in the garden, and in my painting too.

Des pierres. J'aime les pierres, les cailloux et les roches en général. J'ai le sentiment qu'ils sont vivants, dans un état méditatif et comme de vieilles âmes, pleines de sagesse.
Je leur parle, j'en ai dans ma maison, dans mon atelier d'art, dans le jardin, et dans ma peinture aussi.



I found an online mini-course on how to paint stones with watercolor (toniajenny.com) and I decided to paint one stone a day making a concertina mini-book. I'm not very good at copying, so it was a challenge and a good exercise of observation.

J'ai trouvé un mini-cours en ligne sur la façon de peindre des pierres à l'aquarelle (toniajenny.com) et j'ai décidé de peindre une pierre par jour en faisant un mini-livre en accordéon. Je ne suis pas très bonne pour copier, donc c'était un défi et un bon exercice d'observation.

These are the seven stones; I added the sky's colors of the day I found each of them.
Voici les sept pierres ; j'ai ajouté les couleurs du ciel du jour où j'ai trouvé chacune d'entre elles.

Medicine Bags and Amulets Bags - Pochettes-médecine et d'amulettes


I like small bags, and I have many myself, so I started doing some with the idea of making medicine bags or amulet bags.
Made with wool and dyed fabrics, hand-spun wool, some purchased or recycled fabrics, charms and special decorations added.

J'aime les petits sacs, et j'en ai beaucoup moi-même, alors j'ai commencé à en faire certains avec l'idée de faire des pochettes-médecine ou sacs-amulette.

Faits avec de la laine et des tissus teints, laine filée à la main, certains tissus achetés ou recyclés et j'ai
ajouté des décorations spéciales pour chacune.

 


Tree's spirit

earth's spirit

peacock's spirit

bear's spirit

fire's spirit

water's spirit
