in the mist of shadows and light are the voices of angels......

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
the morning rain drops speak with each other
in quiet voices like tiny children
remembering their
cloud homes and the
fluttering moths.
 horses talk to each other, waiting silently for
 the gates to open,
to run at last,
to the far away fields and hills
with little purple flowers.
moths and lacey, tiny flittering baby butterflies.....go about
here and there,
gathering up all the unseen thoughts and dreams of
their other land, far away, far from here
in another place.
angels, small angels are in the mist of shadows and light,
watching over us, quietly, with their gentle wings so soft and gentle
fluttering so quietly, we do not hear them,
unless we suddenly realize they are there
and are real.

poetry

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
the wind howls outside in it's cold and brittle voice. the sun eeks out it's loving warmth with the frailest of heart to shelter those wandering the fields, sparing what little is left of summer memories. delicate, lacey snowflakes fall like spun glass, rioting the frozen air with tiny laughter and sparkling eyes.
 an angel stands behind the frail curtain, quiet, listening and waiting
for us to speak again in our own delicate voice.

Our most exciting news......a book about our nature art!!

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
My husband and I have been working on a book for over a year about our nature art!! It has been an incredibly exciting and enlightening experience and we have learned so much. It is an instructional book about how to make our fairy furniture, fairy houses and little characters. It will be out next spring, in April, as far as we know. Mike and I wrote the book and took many of the photos. The manuscript is done now and is with the editor; we are working with them on proofreading her edits. We're also working with a publicist and a book designer. It has been the most wonderful experience and the people we are working with are so kind and helpful. The book will be published by Familius. We've seen some of the finished pages and they are so beautiful! This will definitely not be just a dry, factual book but very elegantly designed with a very artistic look with inspiring instructions and a fun, very uplifting feeling to it. This is really a dream come true for us, so we are really excited to be working on something that we have wanted to do for a long time!!
 
We will have photos of the cover and more information soon when we are able to release more about the book. In the meantime, we hope you will share with all your friends, family and acquaintances about our upcoming book. It's going to be very special.
 
The photos above are not necessarily ones that we will be instructing how to make, but samples of our little fairy furniture and houses. Some of the photos above will be featured in the book, however. Our fairy houses are very beautiful and inspiring; we will be teaching how to create small versions of these houses in the book as well. To see more of our nature art, just go to our Etsy shops at:
 
Love to hear from you!! If you know of any magazines, newspapers, blogs, companies, authors, other artists, etc. who might be interested in doing a book review on our book when it comes out, an interview, an article, offer our book through their company or blog, etc., we would love to hear from you!! Thanks so much!!
