3 dimensional Shadow Box Animal Oracle Art on 8 x 10 Birchwood
There she was.
So tiny and sweet as can be.
Sitting upon the thinnest of branches in the birch tree.
Admiring her small but mighty self
I heard Hummingbird say,
Isn’t the universe remarkable?
Then slowly turning and looking at the trunk of the tree, using her beak as a pointer, her head moved up and down.
This tree may be one hundred times my stature, but my spirit holds the same vast essence, Hummingbird exclaimed!
How true, I communed back!
Her tender wings fluttered in excitement at my response.
In this moment I am calling you back to ancient wisdom and that you too hold deep in your soul this same essence, Hummingbird said.
It is more magnificent and expansive than you sometimes realize. And I am here in this space of time to remind you to come back to the truth of who you are.
There is nothing to do.
But just sit with me, marvel at nature, and allow her caring, sensitive, and loving qualities to fully envelop you.
And then you will know.
And more importantly, you will feel yourself arriving back once again to your true home that is within.

My mixed media is a combination of collage paper, photos I’ve either taken or copyright-free images from various resources and then enhanced with plus gel pens, pastel chalks, paint, stencils, and sparkle gems. Plus dried flowers, twigs, feathers and/or stones I forage from around my Joyful Pause Cottage studio and/or from what I gather on my early morning walks.
Inspired by animals who are my loving, wise allies and trusted informants.
