Sun Time!

Summer is so good for lacemaking in Canada.
We have extra long days (16 hours,12 minutes  and 27 seconds on solstice today), which means a plenty of natural light that is really best for fine hand work. And because our summer arrives after a long harsh winter, it brings so much joy and positive energy that it almost feels like a spiritual experience. Like reconnecting with the Life Source, rejoicing in its presence and and reposing in its embrace.

In my studio, the Spring Blossoms are gone, and the workspace is ready for the next project.

I am thinking about a Renaissance Sun, like many I made before, but bigger and stronger, able to rejuvenate the nature and breathe new life into everything, and art in particular.
Because we really need it now.

I wish to myself – and every creative person out there – a heavenly inspiration, calm mind, steady hands and a plenty of time for all summer projects!
