Just as I sat down to write this post these lyrics went through my mind: “What the world needs now is love sweet love.”
Love for the animal kingdom and opening myself to their teachings has definitely brought more love into my life.
My new dimensional animal art is inspired by the idea that animals offer such diverse teachings. They guide us to open to different perspectives and encourage us to welcome in the many different dimensions of ourselves.
This is a good thing! Because each layer and facet of who we are shapes us and has something of value to offer us. Even the parts of us that we may struggle with.
And the animals are here on this planet as loving messengers and most willing to serve us every step of the way toward loving all parts of who we are.
There have been many different animals that have guided me to go beneath the surface and explore with love what it was I needed to heal. I’m forever grateful to them for this. And why I was inspired to create these new pieces of art that are now for sale.
You can see more photos of these in my Etsy shop, plus a short video of each to view the dimensional aspect with the layers and how the animals ‘pop’ from the wood surface.
They are mixed media on 3 x 5 wooden templates and include pieces of nature I collect on my walks or from around my Joyful Pause Cottage such as flowers, feathers, branches, and stones.
Each piece also includes a few sparkly gems, because the animals most definitely are masters at helping us to shine our light and live with more joy!
Available now in my Etsy shop here!

P.S. My Etsy shop will be closed from March 4th through April 10th as I take some time away to enjoy myself with my husband in our Rpod camper and a warm climate.
