Summer Solstice yesterday and full moon tonight – what an alignment of energies!

After the spring creative surge, summer will rely on feminine strength to nurture all living things, raise the young, bear the fruits, collect the harvest… and complete visionary projects. As every year, Mother Nature and all her daughters will fulfill these enormous tasks with love and kindness. 

In times of information overload it’s easy to overlook or even forget life basics. In the same way it is almost impossible to focus on fine detail of delicate handmade lace in the midst of deluge of AI generated images. But it really is just a matter of perception.

May the summer season bring clarity and vivacity to sustain the balance, and divine inspiration to find the way.

Happy lacemaking to all!

PS: The photo above is from Summer Solstice celebrations in my first studio in Vancouver, Canada, in June 2004. It features wearable lace made with gold plated copper and semiprecious stones. The world has changed a lot in last twenty years, but the possibility for love – and creative lace – remains the same.
