Lone Crow Photo.... & a Give-aways!

Well, I've continued to procrastinate on the calligraphy front... but I have been working on an etsy shop revolving around my photography... Lone Crow Photo.

The Lone Crow name has been kicking around in my head for ages but I'm beginning to think it wasn't the wisest choice... I already have various blogs on different themes and throwing another name into the mix doesn't exactly help people identify with me does it? Ah well...

The first few pictures I put up were of the moon, and they got such a good reaction being included in several treasuries that other 'etsians' put together, that I kept going along the moon theme. I already write my lunar musings at moondreamin'... I suppose that would have been a good shop name to keeep things tied together, but somehow it feels too personal over there, not commercial at all... besides, eventually there will be more than just moon stuff in there, at least that's the plan!

I've started adding some photographs with quotations & some of my own words. Eventually, I may try adding calligraphy, but its taken me long enough to work out how to add type!

She smiles... and I feel her light fill my soul

Would anyone like a copy of this print? Let's have a give-away to celebrate my shop opening!  You can have this, or choose another photo from my shop.... Just leave a comment & I'll do a draw in a couple of weeks.

I've also been putting together some images together on digital collage sheets, for people to print out for themselves & use in their crafting. I got my first sale with one of these & I'm hoping they will be popular once my shop gets known in the crafty community... fingers crossed (& toes & everything else!) Soon on the list is to do some with calligraphy, now that I'm getting the hang of how to do the editing... it's a steep learning curve, I tell ya!!

Who would like one of these? Again... just leave a comment to be entered in the draw. I'll send a few out by email... all you have to do is print them & create something wonderful!! 

And I'd love a picture of what you make to post on here, or a link to your blog if you post pictures... but of course that's not obligatory!

'Til the end of March I'm offering anyone who passes this way, a 50% discount off anything purchased from Lone Crow Photo. All you have to do is enter the coupon code SCRIBBLES1 when you make a purchase... hopefully I can tempt you!!

A Blanket of Comfort for Japan

May we join together in our thoughts... sending healing, love & calm across the ethers...

May those threads of energy twist together, forming ever stronger strands... weaving together with the thoughts of others across the world and beyond...

forming a healing blanket... infused with love & calm & hope...

Let us spread that blanket over japan & the ocean where the effects of the earthquake are felt....

A blanket of comfort & calm... gently soothing the Earth... absorbing the anguish & pain... gently transmuting them into loving, peaceful energy... a blanket of calm gently soothing & settling the tremors... feel the earth's heart beating steadily once more... calmed by the blanket of love...

A blanket of comfort & calm... gently settling the ocean... absorbing the anger & fear... transmuting them into loving peaceful energy... quelling the tidal reactions.... feel the ocean breathing easy once more, soothed by the blanket of love...

A blanket of comfort & calm.... settling over the nuclear reactors.... gathering in the radiation... absorbing it into the strands.... gently soothing & transmuting.... settling unstable energy... converting it to loving, positive energy.... feel that power reigning in... calmed under a blanket of love...

A blanket of comfort & calm... surrounding the people... absorbing their shock & grief, their fears & uncertainties.... comforting & healing... scattered emotions & physical pain... all being absorbed... and transmuted through the strands of our blanket... into loving positive energy... see them renewed with love & hope & strength... comforted under a blanket of love...

See the blanket growing.... boosted by every thought... every energy transference... see it extending out around the world... tucking it in around everyone affected... around creatures of land & sea & air... a blanket that never wears thin... a blanket that renews & heals & grows...

settling itself over the world.... calming & loving... comforting & healing... people in every walk of life... gently reassuring & encouraging... helping more & more people to breathe easy & feel their connection....

...& feel free to share this...
