Medicine Cards: Mountain Lion. October 15th 2018.
Okay, something had not been said….

#17 – Mountain Lion: Leadership~

Mountain Lion can be a very difficult power totem for you to have, because it
places you in a position to be a target for the problems of others. You could be blamed
for things going wrong, or for always taking charge when others cannot. You could
become the perfect justification for the insecurities of others.
Mountain Lion medicine involves lessons on the use of power in leadership. It is
the ability to lead without insisting that others follow. It is the understanding that all
beings are potential leaders in their own ways. The use and abuse of power in a position
of influence are part of this great cat’s medicine.
By observing the graceful pounce of Mountain Lion, you will learn how to
balance power, intention, physical strength, and grace. This relates, in human terms, to
the balance of body, mind, and spirit. The giant feline never wastes anything. It only
kills what it needs for survival. The female lion is the hunter who graces her table in a
style akin to mother energy.
If Mountain Lion has come to you in dreams, it is a time to stand on your
convictions and lead yourself where your heart takes you. Others may choose to follow,
and the lessons will multiply. If you have pulled the card of Mountain Lion, you may be
asked to review the purpose behind your personal beliefs. You may need to discover
whether or not your plans include a pride of cubs wanting to be like you or to share in
your dreams. If you are already a leader, the question may be whether or not the time has
come to push the cubs out of the cave. If you are aligned with cat medicine, you are
considered to be “king of the mountain,” and never allowed to be human or vulnerable.
The pitfalls are many, but the rewards are great.
In assuming the place of power that Mountain Lion affords, you must constantly
be aware of keeping peace. However you can never make everyone happy unless you lie
to yourself or others. This is human nature. Therefore the first responsibility of
leadership is to tell the truth. Know it and live it, and your example will filter down to the
tiniest cub in the pride. Responsibility is no more than the ability to respond to any
situation. Panic is not a part of this sacred medicine.

Contrary~

If your Mountain Lion card is reversed, you may be playing with fire. A leader
who tries to lead through tyranny or dictatorship has forgotten the medicine of truth.
Through the reversal of this medicine, you may be tricked into believing that nothing else
has validity except the ideas created by yourself. Watch out! Rome crumbled for this
very reason! If this aspect of the contrary medicine does not apply to your situation, look
at other messages which Mountain Lion brings in the reversed position.
If you are avoiding taking your place of leadership, it could be because the whole
idea scares you silly. This is a normal state of affairs for one who has never been a leader
before. In this instance it is necessary to call upon the courage of Lion and to begin by
learning the lessons of the “lion-hearted.”
Another message of Mountain Lion reversed is to not let yourself be led down the
primrose path by a leader who is abusing power. If you want to put yourself on the road
to being a leader in your own right, ask questions of anyone to whom you have given
authority. See if they carry the medicine of Mountain Lion, and whether you can grow
into your own leadership by observing how they handle the task of setting examples.
Become Mountain Lion by refusing to hide in the cave of your own shyness or
uncertainty. Roar with conviction, roar with power, and remember to roar with laughter
to balance the medicine!

Overview~

Mountain Lion has a handsome, cat-like face and a smooth and graceful body,
with tawny-tan and gray coloration. As a power animal, Mountain Lion encourages you
to take charge of any troubling situation and to use your powers of leadership to influence
events. It urges you to overcome your uncertainty and aloofness by accepting personal
responsibility, and thus generate positive action.
Mountain Lion provides strength, determination and foresight, and an assurance
that right action leads to right results. It is endeavoring to show you how to be your own
leader. The responsibility is yours.

Take courage and be brave. Risk being a living example. Become a leader without
followers.

Pink Bag Embroidery Art Project. (Sowing; Fibres~)
I am very attached to this bag & it was dirty plus it was falling apart. I gave it a good wash in the sink, but not all the dirt stains came out. Then I mended it with thick rainbow embroidery thread, & decorated into it more. Now its Ed’s. IUKé. Thursday, November 1st, 2018.

After bad news at the dental office, I took some fall photographs at the park I like. I had noticed the glowing colors the day before, but it was too rainy out for a camera. I wanted to find a way to photograph local fall colors~ but only if it was very original, special & beautiful. Thursday, November 1st, 2018.

My 5th tote… November 20th 2018
Latest completed bag/tote project~
Jaq had destroyed one of my furs… she ripped pieces off. Mauvaise!
(The fur is still wearable. She thinks it’s a very interesting prey toy. Most of the time, she behaves and doesn’t touch it.)
Anyways….
Piece of scrap burlap, pieces of scrap fur, and sewing art like the other totes I made… voilá new Canadiana bag.
You should look up Hudson’s Bay Company, as part of Canadian History.

New Marker Thing! November 26th 2018
I am working on something new again.
Its on the MarkerArt tab~

I picked up some sheets of circular labels at the Chinese office supply store. They are actually for inkjet printers. So I decided to make circular mandala-type art. I am using my older set of markers. My old pens are more dry, rough; used.

I got this started finally, because I’ve actually had the stickers since a couple of weeks!

What’s fun is that I could peel them up after, and stick them on something. Then it would be easier to see the real look of the art of them~ the circle edge, and the white of the label only. (Not the white of the sheet of paper.)

In the end, I went over the edges, so halos would stay on the sheet! There is a very interesting art word that comes to mind… watermark~

I worked at a café where its often quiet because there are not many patrons. Its going to be the place where I work on my circles, when I can. Like the sowing! I worked on my tattoo drawings two days ago, too, at the Tim Horton’s. But that’s unpublished because its secret! I have to war with myself about how and when to reveal what to reveal!

 

Its on the MarkerArt tab~

 

 

Purple Self-Portrait Photography by Gemma. December 1st 2018

What to reveal? My As-Public FB page has become an exercise in opening my personal art/life vault~ & showing off something new again, in a new vein.

These photos were taken when I got too inspired to pass it off~ by my look 2 days ago. They go with this new jewelry~art that’s presented here too.

About Jewelry Authenticity; it has been crafted in accordance with recognized jewelry industry standards and is guaranteed in craftsmanship. All the diamonds, Gemstones and Precious Metals used are genuine & have been carefully examined, graded & valued according to stringent specifications. The diamonds are conflict-free.

Do you see why I called that lili deck Emo? Lol…
Serious lol!

The Miro Story. Details. December 1st 2018

 

 

 

 

I was in the studio this Sunday, & I made a new marker drawing, for my big glossy drawing series. Very hard work, but very original. Also very rewarding! I made this with no specific plan to start. Now I titled the drawing “Free”

Okay… I just got royally punked…

I decided to Google (famous artist Joan~) Miro because of the style of my new drawing…

I remember his work, but wanted to do a bit of investigating, to refresh my memory

He’s from Spain, and they have a museum there…

NOW, wtf is this??? ~

This might be why you think the name “Miro” rings a bell with you~ his very well-known blackline signature. It matches some of the types of black stringy lines he puts into his abstract art.

MIRO~ To Picasso’s newspaper & violin~ the playful piecey cubism sky

Okay, I will say what it is…. First of all, it was the conversation I was having (in private, somewhat…) (table cloth edges…) while making my drawing, with Ed, Beckhams, Brees and Adrian…

Suivant, next!

Then it was the mention of Miro in there, because I got all stringy-crazy (not my style)

I had to put some Alicia BOLD in there, some sense of solidity, a whole piece, and no more repeats (it gets old)

Plus a discussion of that, and a discussion of the concepts I was putting into MY drawing. Ahem, applied, into… Miro’s piece…

Who wants a double double? I sure as hell do!

(I like the damn thing, and would say it pleases my eye more, plus the honor, plus the difference he made in his own work)

Prettiest II. Detail~ December 1st, 2nd & 3rd, 2018.
I re-arranged all the art on the fridge at my mom’s house. I had made something new for it, and gave it the overhaul.
….this overhaul includes the sides & the bottom, on the freezer drawer, for the cats. Super funny. They really love it! Our cats are very aware of art, because they have been around so much of it, for so long.
What I decided to make Saturday night was art with my stickers, for display on the fridge. Otherwise, the envelopes with the labels are stuck in a box, I’m afraid. There’s 10 labels on every sheet anyways. Now some are missing one piece, some two.
