”Vote BluePaper Dress of the Tree Ring Art Heart Art Brand Bundle”

Dear You, 

Posting my “Vote Blue” paper dress for my ‘Tree Ring’ Heart Art Brand Bundle!  YAY !!!

It’s 45 days late, but I had some deep, deep stuff to go through. Lots of terrifying honesty and heavy conversations have been happening … Lots of journaling of themes I want to flesh out into book chapters …

It’s a new day. 🙏

The center art piece (much like a logo) of the Vote art is still the abstract tree ring image, but art moves and grows if I stop trying to control it so much. I try to make my idea without over-thinking and see what happens in the stage of it. I am intentionally trying NOT to be perfect.  

Even as I made this dress, I criticized my way through it. Stupid stupid stupid.  The final photos, taken by my in-house photographer G, and who forces me to laugh in the “photoshoot” with his brilliant sense of humor, came out much better than I thought it would.  

The main ideas that I want to convey is what happens to our heart-spaces WHEN we make any kind of art, 

or when we speak up for ourselves, 

or when we vote towards love, 

or when we vote with our Hearts, not our Egos,

or and when we have the courage to stand up for BLUE truth and justice - 

is that our very fragile inner heart space becomes STRONGER, and new ideas come in. 

Love and art creates beautiful things our minds could never have imagined!

The whole point of the Blue Wave right now is to make LOVE bigger. 

And for everything else, let God handle it. And if you don’t believe in God, then all I know is that there will come a moment in your life when you have to face yourself. Honesty has a way of catching up with us…

Two days ago I felt PURE JOY for about 2 minutes. TWO. Although, I will add, last night I made an entire 3 jokes in one night, in part thanks to the big glass of wine, but the fact that I made G laugh so hard, is proof they were good jokes. He only laughs when something is seriously funny. My usual joke rate is once a month, so was this a surge of healing??

This surge of joy made me ponder, I don’t think we know how MUCH we normalize being SUBDUED and JOYLESS.

I want the paper dress to remind us all that there is more joy, love and beauty. No hoarding is necessary. It just isn’t.

If all the men in the world who are creating war-separation-divide, would INSTEAD pick up a glue stick and colorful paper and a scissors, what a different world we would live in. 

This should be a requirement if you want to get into politics. Art has a way of leveling the playing field. Art has a way of reducing your ego, especially since it is one arena where there really are no rules. If you set out to be GREAT, art has a way of having its own will and taking you down a notch. 

For example, I remember when I took my only (blissful) oil painting class at Goshen College as an elective, in a dreamy art department which was a big sunny loft. My final project was to paint “like” an artist I admired. I picked Henri Matisse, and wanted to paint something like his Blue Nude.

What came out was so hideous. I remember being shocked, because some of Matisee’s art looks so easy to recreate / copy, I thought I would easily be able to recreate the joy Matisse creates in my heart. I still got a 90% grade, but I thought that was generous. It took a serious notch out of my ego. I wish I still had it and could show you. 

The point, which I get now, and I could not understand 35 years ago, is that we ARE as unique as the art and heart-ideas that come with each of us. So, again, no stealing, or dominating, or hoarding is necessary. 

My father loved the hideous stuff I made for that art class, plus the 2 art classes I took in high school. A few years ago I threw it all away, which is a shame, I realize now, but that’s my critical brain at work!

Now that this first paper dress is done, I can feel a kind of contentment, which I always try to remember this feeling and not let my sticky mind go backwards. Heart-space expansion!

Sending oodles of love,

Anne ◎

Day 422 Art meditation,  August 18, 2024, “Dark Blue Green, Tree Ring Art”

Dear You, 

Some days I don’t feel like editing, I just want to get the post out. So …

Just a little Self-Love video, in ‘honor’ of my mother, who I am going to be visiting soon, because of her COMPLETE disapproval of my body. Grrr and love combined. I’m just going to do a little post of cleavage with my paper sculpture. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to the women out there who are encouraging physical realness. 

I just went through a 24 hour really deep trigger {related to rejection}, and it took me 24 hours to re-ground myself and I’m feeling a little bit feisty… Also because I know that I’m processing the fact that I’m going to be visiting all of these old {family} patterns, opinions and un-empowering stuff about Body …

Thank you Ego for trying to protect me WITH depression. But my Heart is stronger. 

I had another sleepless night having new creative ideas. It’s interesting that even though I have sleepless nights, my Heart still speaks to me enough to take notes in the middle of the night. I saw myself being fully blossomed. I turned all of this writing and art into humor and connection … 

And then I woke up into my usual emotionally flat state …

I know there is a Marble Jar rule out there to NOT be vulnerable unless someone has filled your jar with trusting actions, but I just believe that the distance between those books & TED talks and the people who really need to learn about shame, control, vulnerability, is too wide. I want to close the gap by making vulnerability and courage my public way of life. And let God and the Universe tell me someday what my purpose is…

I also just believe in Blossoming for no other point than to Blossom … If we all could, not just the dominant people …

It’s amazing to me that similar-bodied women out there are able to show way more skin than I am. I am so aware of all the old rules: If you want to be respected, keep your clothes on. If you DO show skin it means you have low self esteem, or are trying to get love or attention. 

If I stick with what is true for me, which is the whole point of living, then I get to say to my body, “I love you and am grateful for all the hard things we went through. Multiple gynecological surgeries, a large fibroid, endometriosis and the very difficult decision to remove my uterus knowing I still could have had my own baby. But the decision was to end all the monthly pain and bleeding. I am so grateful that the one time they already had me open, they found my appendix about to explode and removed that too. I am grateful for my health, other than the knee situation ...”

One of my favorite books is by Jean Shinoda Bolen, “Goddesses in Every Woman”.  Published in 1984, it still completely holds up. I’m so proud of myself that I bought it in 1991, when I discovered feminism at college. (I also love that Jean Shinoda Bolen is San Francisco based … :) jeanbolen.com/ 

Out of all the goddesses written about in this book, ‘Aphrodite’ (the Goddess of Love and Beauty, Creative Woman and Lover”)  is the one goddess who feels the most pointless to me … Beauty-worshiping has only created the empty void that is social media, new and creative ways to hate ourselves. The patriarchy has propped up physical female beauty as another thing to own, and decide about the details of what beauty is.  

And yet, I love this definition of Aphrodite: she is the “the alchemical goddess governing a woman's enjoyment of love and beauty, sexuality, and sensuality, impells women to fulfill both creative and procreative functions.”

If we remove the commercial aspect of what it is to be beautiful, and move into the creative and fulfilling parts, then Aphrodite speaks to me.

Women have so much depth that gets shadowed in a patriarchy, and the idea that each woman has these mythological goddesses inside each of us is so empowering. I hope we (everybody) can start blossoming in a matriarchal-women-heart-oriented way soon … 

Lots of love,

Anne ◎
