the 7th sign of the Hopi Prophecy has come to fruition
Please take a few minutes to watch this video. This is serious stuff, and yet, there is still hope. Much of what drives me to keep going every day has everything to do with the fact that we don't have much time to mess around--we must make some major changes in the way we live on this planet RIGHT NOW. For years, my art has been primarily for its own sake or to amuse me, to play out personal stories or to gain approval. More than ever, i realize the potential i have as an artist to send a powerful message with my various forms of creativity. Documentary films and inspirational videos are a simple, direct and compelling medium to transmit these messages. So i spend some of my time making beautiful things out of recycled materials, and some of my time promoting videos that have the potential to change the world. Here is one such video.

Gypsy Palace website updated!
It's taken me so long to get to this point but i can finally say that my website is actually functional. I am sifting through all areas of my life and putting energy into each area to upgrade my ability to attract income and manage time more efficiently. That means i spend some time working on my web presence, some time working in the garden, in the apartment tidying up and organizing, some time upgrading my children's space and caring for their needs, some time doing art projects, some time trying to make money, and if i have any energy left, i try to do something for myself. Yoga has taken a back burner to all of this spring cleaning, and i have not been very good with my diet lately. I've gained ten pounds since December. All of this sitting at the computer isn't helping, i need to get out and play tennis, go climb the wall at Marymoor, go for walks...and stop letting myself give into nervous munching. Perhaps staying updated with my raw blog will motivate me to do a green smoothie fast. I did that last year and lost weight quickly without feeling hungry.
Anyway, since i haven't written in this blog in a really long time, i want to take this opportunity to clarify what this blog is for. This is a place for me to share the things that inspire me as a creative individual. The things i see, hear, smell, remember, dream, and the process of translating that into art. I wish to document my creative process, offer a peek into my workspace, try my best to let you into my world. The Gypsy Palace blog, titled "Creation Divination Revolution", is intended as a bulletin board for the website, posting current events like art and fashion shows, designer profiles, studio tours and news. I will be posting there about the Alice in Wonderland fashion shoot we're doing in a few weeks, with information on the models, designers and stylists collaborating on that project. Here, i will post photos of my process and the things that are inspiring my designs. For now, i found this great website:We Heart It and this is my "heart" page on the site. It's like a scrapbook of images that you find inspiring. The images on my pages were selected mostly because they are inspiring the Steampunk style of this dark version of Alice in Wonderland. I will post this link on the links page of this blog as well as my website, so it will be easy for you to find later.
Overall, i am keeping up a good fight, in the face of dire poverty with virtually no income and bills coming faster than i can pay them. Something is telling me to just keep creating...keep making jewelry, put everything i've got into this photo shoot, keep organizing my workspaces and drawing in my sketchbook, keep adding to my website and portfolio pages, even when there is no money coming in. I feel that i am on the verge of my "big break" or whatever that phenomenon is that happens to dirt-poor artists when the finally get discovered and never again have to set foot in a food bank. I have turned my attention completely on my work and my life's mission, and on my family--no more distractions from cute boys and parties, i'm completely ready to rock. I could use a leg up, however, so if you are reading this and you're in a position to help me out even a little, my electricity, internet and phone are on the verge of disconnection. It can't hurt to ask, and i have given to those who asked when i was in a position to do that, so i know that it's possible and even likely that someone out there believes in me and wants to help. If so, i will make it easy for you:
Your support is much appreciated, not only by me, but by everyone i am taking with me on my way up.
