Moon Children to Inspire You. <3

By Tamara Laporte  |   in love notes  | Tags: note to inspire , willowing  


A note to inspire :)

Hello wonderful friend!

Here is the 2nd ‘Inspiration Email’ in the series! I enjoy prepping these emails for you. I hope the content inspires you and that you’ll share some of your work in the Willowing & Friends Group on Facebook! :)
 

Ps. Follow me on instagram for most up to date artsy endeavours & inspiration!

Big hugs,
Tam x


Sometimes paintings are a struggle. Sometimes I throw them away or gesso over them. Sometimes I persist, don’t give up on them and they turn into one of my most liked images on instagram! I thought this was a brilliant metaphor for some of life’s experiences!

I filmed ‘the making of Moon Children’ and did a voice over telling you about the process.

Check it out.

Continuing the theme of Poetry & Art:

Stay close.
She said.
I am winter.
I do not mean
to make you cold.
This.
This is a purification.
This is a cleansing.
I am here for you.
I am here with you.

You are whole.

 

If you have made or make any art inspired by your own poetry or vice versa, we’d love to see it in the Willowing & Friends Group! :)

Join the Monthly ATC Swap

We are running the monthly ATC Swap in the Willowing & Friends Facebook Group! Many of you have loved swapping your mini art with others, so we are continuing this fun monthly event in the Willowing & Friends Facebook Group. If you’d like to join the ATC Swaps, you’ll need to be a member of the W&F FB group(pls bear with us while we manually approve new members). The theme for May is ‘Magic and Sparkle‘ – if you want to join, please first join the group and then join the swap HERE. Please only join the swaps if you’re able to commit. It can be upsetting for your partner if they have sent out ATC but don’t get any in return. Thanks for understanding!

Roben-Marie Smith Interview and Giveaway!

The wonderful Roben-Marie Smith is giving away a spot on her new workshop: ‘SALVAGED: A Layered Pieces Journal’ on the blog over HERE.

Mixed media artist, teacher and author. I don’t see all IG msgs. For enq pls email hello@willowing.org - Join A Year of Magic & Fairy Tales:

I’m so excited to share this new magical character with you! Here is my take on the Fairy Godmother archetype. She feels like a wise, starry grandmother who carries whole galaxies of kindness in her eyes. ✨

I realised I haven’t painted many older faces before, I didn`t always feel good at them and so creating her was a bit of a challenge and it also felt surprisingly moving. There can be so much beauty in the softness of older faces; the lines, the life lived. I wanted her to feel powerful, warm, and full of that gentle, cosmic “you’re safe with me, darling” energy. Like so many of our own beautiful grandmas made us feel.

It made me think about how rarely we see older women portrayed as magical, radiant, enchanting … and how deeply needed that is (Hello society erasing older women!). So here she is in all her twinkly glory. 🌙💫 How did I do? 😊

She’ll be part of our big creative journey in A Year of Magic & Fairy Tales, and I can’t wait to guide you through painting her step by step.

ps. Blues/ Lavenders/ Deep Purples seem to be my colour obsessions right now! 😉
