✨️ Day 18 ✨️

Can yooou hear them 🐦🎶😇 ?

They're singing away ... celebrating a successful 1st firing 🔥 I'm soooo happppppppy 🥰🤸‍♀️🥰

She's been sanded then given a wash all over ... now she's getting warmed up with underglazes ... how I wish ✨️ you could be here to hear them  ... singing  ✨️🐦✨️🎶✨️😇 chittering away ... with me joining in ✨️ I can't help myself! 

It was slow work ... cutting in around all her leaves 🍃 that I'd carved in before she was fired ... using light and dark 💚

Adding little blossoms 🌸 warming up her kerchief wrapped around her hair ...  and her face with blush.

She was so patient as I dry brushed 🖌 underglaze around her neck ... why did I add it? 

Something inside ... telling me it's okay to let go. 

Here she is fresh out the kiln 🔥 after her final firing ... I was worried that some parts would blow up ... my relief on finding her in one piece is immense 🫂 She's been hugged and kissed along with her feathered friends 🐦🪶 and told how much I looooove them 💖

I'm learning as I go ... finding out how much the colours change in the kiln ... did she need those little blossoms on her dress 🌸 not really ...  and I wish I had listened to the whispers when they told me she didn't need them ... next time I promise to hold on to ... FAITH ... lessons to be learnt along the way ... without mistakes I wouldn't learn ... BUT ...  I do love 💖 her and her 💖 wee 🐦's ... I haven't been able to stop cuddling them today 🫂🐦😇🪶🪽✨️

Thank you so much for stopping by 🫂✨️ Wishing ✨️ you all good things today and all the tomorrows yet to unfold ✨️

Much love ❤️ and warm hugs 🫂

✨️Clay ✨️

✨️ Day 17 ✨️

Today I let the Whispers of my soul guide me again ... craving a pencil ... scraps of fabric ... some of my stamps ... a leaf picked up outdoors ... threads bold as can be ... doodling ... painting ... splodging ... journaling ... 

... can you see the wee 😇 one that popped out my pencil? 

How peaceful she is ... I can feel the call of the clay once again. 

 Sometimes ...

✨️ I just need to get out my head ...

Bundle up cosy ... get outside ... look at that glorious sky above ... no matter the weather ... earth under my feet ... as the sounds of nature fill my head ... breathe in ... breathe out ... how good it feels ...  to have this gift of a new day to be present in ✨️ with a smile on my face 😊 as I count my blessings in this LIFE 🙏✨️

✨️Wishing you ✨️ a blessed day ahead ... may it hold much magic for you ✨️

Much ❤️ and warm hugs 🫂

✨️ Day 16 ✨️

💙 This little Soul Whisper took me on a ... JOURNEY ... such a journey it was of ... BRAVERY 

✨️

Telling me to be bold ... "whatever happened?" ...  I can hear you ask! 

Well ... she started off as so many WHISPERS do ... with ... NO PLAN ... only FAITH and BELIEF that the whispers from within would find their way out the clay with the help of my hands  ... from cloaks ... to ... a vintage swim costume ...   yes, she did  ... such a pretty one it was too ... BUT ... " nooooooo" she said " that's not who I am" ... "listen ... listen ... your heart & soul know me" 

Soooo ... I smooshed her bottom half  back up into a ball ... closed my eyes 👀 deep breathe in ... letting it out ... tick ⏰️ tock ... hands moving ... no thought in my head ... only a yearning ... a yearning to see her in the clay ...  she was in there ... I just had to keep going ... not be afraid if things went wrong ... so on I went...  smooshing, working the clay with my hands ... until ... out came the base of a boat 

my hands going faster ... faster ... 

"On my head " she cried .. ." quick, quick ... fix it in place" ...

on and on it went as she encouraged me to keep going  ... 

until she was her

 own beautiful unique SOUL ✨️

Full of ADVENTURE with a boat on her head ⛵️ surrounded by her feathered 🪶 friends 🐦

...

all she needs now is a mast and two sails 😘

 She's drying out beside an ever growing group of 

Soul Whispers

✨️

who remind me when I go say " hello"

that everything will be alright ... I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to be doing right now ... taking care of me. 

If you just landed here ... by chance ... and you're curious about the 100 days ... you'll find all my posts underneath this one 😊along with why I'm taking part.

✨️Thank you from my heart for stopping by ⛵️ I hope you can hear the✨️ whispers ✨️ the reminder tooo ...  breathe,believe,trust and have faith ... everything will be alright 🫂✨️

Much love ❤️ and huge hugs 🫂

✨️Day 12/15~ 100 Days of Soul Whispers ✨️

✨️💕 Day 12-15 💕✨️

✨️💕 Soul Whisper Bells💕✨️

🔔🎶 Ringers 🎶🔔

&
💕✨️ Didgery Doodahs ✨️💕

 ✨️ Days 12/13 ✨️

What a joy I found creating pinch pots to make my Soul Whisper Bells 🔔 

Each one with a story to tell 🐦✨️🪽surrounded by feathered🪶 friends ... such a beautiful sound they each 🐦 made 🎶🎵 as they came to be in my hands. 

Then it was on to ...

✨️ Day 14 ✨️

Every Bell 🔔 needs a RINGER 🎶🔔 

Here's a few I made ...  along with a few others waiting to be decorated ... it took me a few goes before getting them right as they need to be hollow inside ... tricky, tricky it was ... who knew how JOYOUS  I could be over making these little treasures ✨️🌈✨️🤸‍♀️happy, happy I am. 

Not forgetting ... 

✨️ Day 15✨️

If you want them to sing 🎶 in the breeze they need a few didgery doodahs to hang with them ... adding a wee bit weight along with the sound of jingle jangles as they sway  😘 so back out with the clay it was. 

✨️💕 These were theee most fun to create💕✨️

Then it was time toooo .... be PATIENT ... soooo patient ... while they all dried out ready for the 1st firing in the kiln 🔥 

✨️ Excited to share how they turn out✨️

💖Thank you so much for stopping by 💖

Much love ❤️ and hugs 🫂

✨️ Day 10/11✨️

🪽 This little sculpture is the ✨️PEACE ✨️ I find in the early morning 🌄 as the sun comes up 🐦 as the birds sing 🎶 ...

 ... to welcome the gift of a new day 🌅 

She's changing colour as she dries out ✨️

Such peace she has brought 🙏 as she came forth from the clay with her wild hair ... along with her feathered friends 🐦🪽 I can't quite manage to count how many 🐦😊 I just know that the music they bring fills me with such joy.

✨️ I seem to have a thing for ... Angel's 😇 wing's  🪽 and Birds 🐦 ... with my mum in my heart ... the signs I see ...  and ... the whispers I hear from next door all taking me on this journey ✨️

✨️💖 Thank you so much for being here 🫂 much love ❤️ and 🫂 hugs
