It's such a cliche' to say "Where do I begin?" but that's exactly how I feel as I start this post. How do I describe the indescribable joy, the joy unspeakable and full of glory experience of The Gathering of Artisans 2013 ?</div>

I trust that these photos and comments will give you a taste of the beauty we took in. I apologize for the quality of the photos, which were taken with the camera on my phone. In spite of the imperfections, I feel the Presence of God on the images. I hope you will sense it too.<br />
<br />
My sister in the Lord and sister artist, Debra Greeson, and I arrived at <a href="http://www.blueridgeassembly.org/" target="_blank">Blue Ridge Assembly</a> in Black Mountain, NC to be greeted by breathtaking beauty from every direction. Here are a few photos of the grounds.<br />

This is the building where I took my prophetic painting, expressive drawing and worship classes. So many amazing and life transforming things took place in this building over the weekend. I was greatly encouraged by not only my own experiences, but the experiences of my fellow artisans as the Holy Spirit moved on each one of us. He revealed, inspired, honed, chiseled, stretched, removed and added. It was extremely edifying to be in such an environment and to watch Him move and see the reactions and results of His wondrous works. </div>

As I was painting it, Vivien came over and prayed over me and gave me a very powerful and encouraging prophecy that had to deal with restoration. I named the painting RESTORATION. A fellow artist, Jack who is pictured above, also prayed for me during this painting and said he saw The New Jerusalem in my painting. I added to the name of the painting. It is called RESTORATION In The New Jerusalem. </div>

After such a mountaintop experience and fervent atmosphere of worship and total focus on God it is important to remember that a new spark of life from the Spirit of God has ignited a Holy fire in our souls. As we return to the valleys and foothills of home, our prayer is that we will all remain on "Slow Burn." Lord, kindle this fire by Your grace and power ! May it not only fuel us, but may it burn away all wood hay and stubble, leaving only that which is of eternal value in our lives and work as HIS artisans. May it illuminate our paths, may it animate our bodies as living sacrifices, fully surrendered and empowered to create and do all of the good works that you panned for us before the foundations of the earth. May YOUR KINGDOM COME and YOUR WILL BE DONE through the work of your artisans. It's in the beautiful name of Jesus, I pray, Amen. </div>

I love freeform peyote because it is intuitive and there aren't many rules. I love the beach and much of my work is inspire by the coast, as well as the Appalachian Mountains. These pieces demonstrate the versatility of freeform peyote with simple elements, such as sea glass, various beads and chips. I love the way the colors play off one another, gold, blue, green and brown. </div>

I love floss embroidery, as well as bead embroidery. I decided to get out my floss, after many months, and play with an abstract design on some sage green denim. This was the result. I backed the bracelet with red leather and added a pretty vintage button. </div>

I love playing with textiles and fiber scraps, so I had fun coming up with these pretty fabric flowers. I turned them into pins that look pretty on a hat, bag, shoulder or wherever ! This is the year that I am trying to be very resourceful and not buy very many craft supplies, unless it is a staple. This is part of my creative challenge for the year "Use what you have!" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And, so far, so good !</div>

I created this brooch with bead embroidery and a glass cabochon that I made from a bit of paper from an old calendar and a glass "blob" from the craft shop. I imagine the lady to be Mary or Esther, my two favorite female Bible characters. I used matte seed beads, metallic delicas and firepolished beads to frame her. </div>

These motifs are fun to make with brick stitch. I love the fan shape and they are so pretty, either with the dangle or without. </div>

This is one of many patterns that she offers for free on her website, so go check it out !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did this bracelet in blue gray matte beads and smokey blue gray crystal bicones. You can also use this motif to make earrings. There is a beautiful example of them on my blog in the earlier posts. </div>

I adore hearts. The heart has been the theme of my life for the last year or so, as I have decided to follow the Lord's calling on my life as a full time artist. I just finished a course called <a href="http://unlockingtheheart.wordpress.com/about/" target="_blank">Unlocking The Heart of the Artist</a> and it changed my life and set me on a new course. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have decided to explore more with embroidery and fibers and the theme will be hearts. This is the first in the series, a bead embroidered piece in blues and greens and soft lavender. I added some fringe with pressed glass leaves. It is an ornament that can be hung by the loop on top. What a nice way to say "You Have My Heart."</div>

This is another happy experiment with bead crochet and C-lon. The fiber is small enough to go through some pretty small holed beads and yet it has enough body to create a reliable necklace. I have added faux Turquoise, jade, seed beads, art glass beads, bone and goldstone chips. I crocheted little tabs from which to attach a lobster claw clasp. I love this design and will definitely be working on other variations. </div>

I have been playing around with more bead crochet lately, and decided to make these pretty earrings. They are crocheted with C-Lon, the same fiber I used in the flat Turkish bead crocheted bracelets in another post. I love this fiber for bead crochet because it has a lot of body and you don't need to starch it. In addition, it comes in so many glorious colors ! These are great earrings for people who like them big but don't want the weight on their ears. I plan to do more experimenting with bead crochet. </div>

This stone cabochon reminded me of a beautiful dapple gray mare, my favorite of horses !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I surrounded it with steel delicas, khaki and gray matte seed beads and gray opaque and luster lined seed beads. AS much as I love bold colors, this more neutral piece really pleases my eye. </div>

I was recently intrigued and inspired by this post http://jewelsinfiber.blogspot.com/2012/12/turkish-flat-bead-crochet-bracelet.html on another favorite artist's website, so I decided to give her tutorial a try ! The results were quite satisfactory ! This is a fun project.

I like to play around with color and I am always looking for freeform ways to use up extra, or small bits of beads that are leftover from other projects. This bracelet has a square stitch base with size 6 seed beads and them was embellished with lots of loops in size 11 seed beads. next time I will add some other things, like various crystals or odds and ends that fit my color scheme. I used a silver button and a peyote stitched loop for the clasp. </div>

This stone cabochon contains flecks of green, bronze and gold. I chose a khaki matte AB seed bead to set off all of those qualities and paired them u with root beer colored seed beads and another seed bead of which the name escapes me ! At any rate, the effect was successful, don't you think ?</div>

This lovely Robin's Egg Blue cabochon needed a nest ! I chose matte 11 seed beads in lilacs green and blue and "Earth" delicas to surround it. I added a few jet AB 4mm beads and teardrops for some bling. The necklace is a spiral rope variation and I created a peyote stitched toggle and loop to finish it all off. </div>

This is the twelfth doodle in my journey. I confess, this one was done in church. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always doodle in church, as it helps me retain the message. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are the words of our Lord Jesus Christ to the woman caught in the sin of adultery. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My primary medium is beads and fibers and I have created bead embroidery collars. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I look at this doodle, it reminds me of a collar that might grace the neck of a redeemed woman. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am such a one. </div>
