Inspiration Offering for the Artist's Way Bloggers

Since nearly all of us Blogging the Artist's Way are women I thought for my inspiration offer I would present Magique - a feminine icon of creative beingness. I stitched Magique together in 1995. She has a whole story about who inspired her and how she came into this world. I'll just say a thank you to Monika and Leslie and leave Magique's own creation story for another day.



Magique is a 7 foot tall doll. She has her own special chair with a red cushion. She has a drum and prayer bead bracelet. She loves the trance of the creative flow. She listens to her heart. She guards my studio and keeps me company. She knows that love is our true nature -she knows that we are all creations of the Divine and that we therefore are creative beings. She knows that if you connect to Source - that pure state of being then you are free to BE the wonderful creation of love that you are.




Magique wants to give you this quote from Florence Cane who wrote a book called The Artist In Each Of Us

"What we need to be taught is not art, but to believe in ourselves, our imaginations, our senses, and our hands, to free our bodies and our spirits that we may work and live according to our visions." - Florence Cane

I hope Magique will give you a little boost for Week 10 of the Artist Way - or just a boost to living and loving your life! If you missed it you can also check out my recent post about inspiration from a Studio Friday topic. Creative blessings to you all! Keep up the great work!
