projects

by canyon critter on January 17, 2014

I am starting a series of personal projects this year in photography and metal. This year has been a true lack of inspiration due to life circumstances but I am refusing to let any more things get in the way, so I am challenging myself daily with little projects. One is the selfies – dog and me. This could get interesting. I have a lot of ideas… eep!

ps. I am slowly getting my gypsy, wolf and willow blog together… you thought I gave up on it, eh? Just a little slow, but it’s coming.

I am also shooting for Sarge’s Animal Rescue once a week and the county animal shelter out there for bio photos.

Next week I meet with the most sweet Miss Darling of Pinups for Pitbulls to talk about shooting events, which I am very excited about. Now I just have to work all weekend on my photo website to for viewing – no pressure ;).

I was going to share some things with you about my day, but I might wait. I am so tired my fingers are crossing. It was an extremely emotional day talking with two intuitives about my life, my animals and recent events which is leading to future events and I had a little craft show, which I have photos for tomorrow’s post. whew!

ps. There might be a move soon, possibly sooner than thought… maybe – you know how I work by now if you have followed my ventures. One really never knows what I will do or when.

 I am visiting in March to see if I connect and if not I will stay here for a while, but if you have anything to tell or any photos to share with me about Austin –

spill it. All details good and bad.

Here is my week in photos:

These last few months have been the opposite sides of the spectrum if you will. I lost Ansli and Sally in April and met the man of my dreams in July. I moved into town into a house, the boy moved in , I sold the airstream, got a studio, started a new job, working on launching two new things and in the midst of it all I never stop thinking about them. I go through phases. Sometimes, he will find me in my studio drenched in tears other times I cry a bit and move on, but it never stops. Nine months. I see them. I feel them. Always and I never want it to stop. I hear them. I know I can hear them more if I stop and find my calm.

I am a stress cat as some might say. I am high energy and I am an empath and it changes quickly – depending on my energy and surrounding. If I meditate often and go to the river and walk – I am ok. The water and walking calm me. Otherwise I am a fierce mess, if we are being honest.

I don’t blog as much recently because I fear it being a place of blue. I have been told that. I am starting other blogs where it will be cut and dried but this place needs to stay safe for me to be real – a place to connect. It has been almost 7 /8 years in this cyber place and I won’t let it go  – purely selfish. I have moved so much and have been through so much it is my journal and I want to remember the good and bad;)

I don’t wan’t to be that blog where people are like “what the fuck” why can’t my life be that enchanted and awesome. well love, it’s blogland. People can show what they want , I choose to be real.

so this is me… in a small nutshell.

I hurt. I struggle, I laugh, I cry , I dance, I lay in the floor after too much wine, I wake up at 2 am for battle gallatica, I get crazy when I drink coffee, I get gassy when I eat veggies, but really who doesn’t?!

I love fiercely, I get angry and then I get sad and then I laugh out of the blue because I love and care so deeply about things and then feel completely awkward all the time.

I am mostly awkward.

I have to walk for my sanity, I have been told I am manic – who fucking cares…I feel.

I love to create and  sometimes I get in places where I feel less than what I should.  I struggle with wanting to be more and sell more and what I am doing wrong and excited when I do right.

I compare myself and that brings me down… I am learning.

I am who am.

I do what I do and that should be awesome enough.

I am elephant.

I am wolf.

I am fox.

I am fierce.

I love who I love and I would rather love and be poor and than rich and empty – but I hope to be rich and completely fantastic.

I don’t apologize for my beliefs for my veganism. I won’t put it on you but I think the world needs to change. The animals have to stop suffering for our stupidity and laziness. plastic kills these precious animals, they hurt  and tortured in the factory farms… it isn’t a safe place.

I cry for them.

I hurt for them.

so sometimes we need to check in.

who are we?

who are you?

what do you believe in?

I could name more…

but give me something of you – who are you? what do you believe in?

don’t apologize. let loose. you are safe here.

Let’s connect.

Be fierce and brave.

let it all out.

I love you. The earth loves you. The  animals love you. That is all that matters. You are loved. You are protected. You are safe here.

hugs to you…

ansli my love

rainy day news

by canyon critter on December 9, 2013

So I have some good news after lots of pondering this week. I move into a metal studio tomorrow to work like crazy throughout the winter and plus they have lots of cool tools. I am holding off launching my animal photography business until spring and will focus on just photographing shelter/rescue animals for the new photo blog. I hope in the next month to launch gyspy, wolf and willow – I have to get a logo done but this will be a super cool blog of diy projects, yummy vegan food recipes. herb stuff and animal miscellany. whew!

It’s all pretty exciting and fun! So I can’t wait to show you all the new things I will be working on this week. eel!

I got a studio space for metalwork this month. Let the challenges begin. I'm ready.

Power paw cuffs are outgoing today. 15% of sakes are going to a local boxer rescue this month. Yip!

ps. just remember 15% of sales for the month of December will go to Boxer Butts and other Mutts to help with their expenses.

Animal rescue is not cheap, I know, so go visit their Facebook page and say hello!

Love birds #dogsofinstagram #edigram #lehowl

Sunday

by canyon critter on November 24, 2013

The weather has definitely shifted. It has become so bitter cold here. My studio is downstairs which is a bit colder so I always have a sweater and fingerless gloves on. Edi and Conrad are keeping me company, so my feet are always warm.
I have added some new items and will be adding about 50 or so more sun catchers in the shop. Here are a few snapshots, but feel free to go over to the shop and take a look. I will be having a black friday sale, which will be lovely.

I put a Thanksgiving hat on Edi and she was not amused. She would have rather had an indian headdress. So I will keep that in mind for the next holiday.

My doggie friend Halle crossed yesterday. She was so amazing.

So many littles crossing. 🙁

As I always say… this is the circle of life.

These bodies are only borrowed.

Somehow… that doesn’t make it any easier.

Rest In Peace my sweet girl, you have so many to keep you company now.
