I have been feeling quite earthy recently, so my table and art reflects that part of myself. I just love barren tree branches against blue skies and fallen leaves crunching under my feet! And then there&#8217;s the moon&#8230;<br \/>\nHere it is, under golden candlelight:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/051115_8.jpg\"><br \/>\n&#8220;Three Earthy Maidens and an untitled one&#8230;two more teeny watercolor paintings of many, the one on the right is also acrylics.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/7_8.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Here it is- so much to show! I painted the goddess on the giant center wooden candlestick- a thrift shop find! My art from above is behind the candlestick, leaning on the mirror.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/051115_1.jpg\"><br \/>\nHere is one painting, under her are collected fallen leaves.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/051115_2.jpg\"><br \/>\nHere is a close up of my little blue glass victorian slipper, filled &#8220;to the ankle&#8221; with giant rose hips! I placed a bejeweled trinket case next to it, along with a jar of bronze glitter.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/051115_3.jpg\"><br \/>\nAnd to the right of the table is my &#8220;Three Earthy Maidens&#8221; painting. The glass stones in the vase will be a mosiac in the future.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/051115_4.jpg\"><br \/>\nAlso on the right side is a bronze moon dish filled with dried rosebuds, a stage before they turn to the rose hips. I purchased these buds at a herb store in upstate NY last weekend. The store had other apothecary jars- all filled with herbs and spices. Heaven! The teapot is actually an oil burner- filled with frankincense essential oil.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/051115_5.jpg\"><br \/>\nIn the center is a moss filled tin, with a little log. On the log is a sleeping fae, surrounded by crystals, amulets and charms. The forest now sleeps, until the spring. So I guess the fae in me is sleeping. I hope to get a better picture very soon.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/051115_10.jpg\"><br \/>\nIn front of the mossy tin is a blue wooden box filled with pathcouli from the apothecary shop as well. Two trinket jars on each side.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/051115_6.jpg\"><br \/>\nI placed tree branches on each side of the alter. Aren&#8217;t the little blackbirds cute? I strung giant rosehips and draped them over my antique mirror. Smaller, wild rosehips (the kind that grow in the woods) make a lovely bouquet- with black ribbon to match the birds! My hands bled from the thorns when I gathered these.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/051115_7.jpg\"><br \/>\nWhew- this took awhile to do! I need to step away from my journal in the coming days to create time for ART!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last weekend I wandered in the woods looking for moss and such to adorn my November table.
