‘Gaia’s Dream’ ~ Spring Returning

March comes tomorrow.  This means that we have almost made it through a very challenging winter.  Pretty amazing, especially since it seemed as if January might be the month that was never going to end.

Last week I pulled out my etching press, [it's on wheels].  I pulled what I believe will be 2 ‘Abundance Goddesses’.  Then 2 larger prints of Demeter and Persephone.  (I won’t post them till they are finished.)  I draw into my prints with technical pens and colored pencils to pull out the forms.  Usually I wait to see what evolves before I determine what or who they are…but I had an agenda with these.  Yes, I chose to create affirmations [for myself], of the coming spring.  WHATEVER I CAN DO TO HELP MOVE THE WINTER INTO THE PAST!  I’m excited to work them up; to immerse myself in HOPE, line and color. And for Mother Demeter to welcome her daughter, Persephone’s return from the underworld, into the light of day; bringing flowers into blossom and the sweet, warm scents of spring.
