Portals of Creations~
by Victoria Pettella
*
Where do we all
C r e a t e ?
Truly...inside the Space of Imagination....
step inside..
the Portal awaits you...
Truly..the place we all create is in our HEART..
*
We create in the space of the Invisible...
where we fly with the freedom of magic
and with the Spark of Inspiration that shines out to Infinity...
Whatever it is you have a passion to create..
I celebrate the Creative Spirit in you..
Thankyou for joining me and taking the time to visit..
I look forwrad to visiting All of your Spaces of Magic!
See you in the Portal..
I look forwrad to visiting All of your Spaces of Magic!
See you in the Portal..
C R E A T E
*
Those who know me..know that my camera sparks me..so do paintbrushes..microphones and guitars and pianos..and a closet full of canvas and paint conjure my soul to dance.*
I love the Magic of Sunlight..my best spot for creating my photo series is in my dining room..the natural light is Spellbinding! It pulls me in everytime..
Sometimes I bring down the paintings I am working on into this sundazzled dining room..they become sunkissed and speak in new ways.
*
Below are some
"Unfinished" paintings....
...but that for me..
is the most exciting part.
new seeds are being born..
each seed..a spell of creation...
creativity is conjuring a spell..
There is something beginning
to surface,
I love when paintings are in
Transition.
*
they are still being weaved...
still Unveiling their essence..

They are still in a
Space of Becoming..
and that Powerful Space of
The Inbetween
is where the Magic happens.
What will they become?..how will they shift and change?
*
I think Beauty shines potently in this
Imperfect place.
and this inner-magic
is unveiling itself slowly..
And the painting is Awake and Alive....
They are journeying and arriving..
telling new tales of what is to come...
*
I love to follow the footprints of a painting
and see where they will take me!
Sometimes they even like to rest and go into
The Dreaming Place for awhile......
.and when they awake they let me know it is time to create!
The Faery Queen..
She is still Becoming..we will see where she takes me..
So far..I know she carries your Dream Star safely from the sky..
and anchors it down like a Seed..so that it will Grow, Bloom and Become!
*
Now..off to the studio..upstairs.....and another set of stairs..a long hike..to the top floor!
Will you come along?
Once upon a time..."It was F o r e v e r"..that I didn't have space to create in..now I do..
You will find surroundings of old and bruised antique furniture, vintage figurines..and Magical Mirrors of course..a bit of drama with French fabrics draped over an old table..I love magical spaces..
The studio.. is quite bare..and doubles as a music studio...
Except for one Embellished Spot in this corner..the rest is open, empty and pretty much like a "blank canvas"..the paintings in the room become the color.
And the more space the better for me....
A Magic Mirror from my childhood home..
( Still magical)
A Parade of supplies...
I Love the "backs' of easels...
Black Espresso cups holding pastels and beads...and a magic ring
Open , free..spacious...
This room may be too plain for some..
but the paintings become
the colors and stories of the room
The Light pours into the emptiness..and fills the space
witht it's Essence, creating even more light
*
A very old antique chair in the corner.....in need of some love and attention will soon be restored!
A Love for all bruised and tattered antiques..
Old souls are magical aren't they?
Things to play with while the paint is drying...
crystals in every color..
I love putting supplies in the round trays
with pie shaped compartments..
Strands of beads to create jeweled treasures
Roses adorning crystal-beaded-treasures
More Magic..more seeds..more dreams awaiting..
The Portal of Creation is always wide awake!
Thanks for joining me..
Thankyou for visiting this Portal..
and celebrating the Spirit of Creativity
***
I look forward to peeking at your spaces!
THANKYOU for adding your Sparkle and visiting!
Much appreciation!
Onward with the party..
Grab your Magic Hat..
and Fly ito the next Portal..

Special Thankyou to Karen Valentine for Hosting this Dazzling Affair!
Visit more studios and spaces.. follow this link with a list of a kazillion blogs!
ENJOY! It is week long party..so have fun!
Remember..whether you have a space or not..creativity is within...a space is merely the physical place..to house and store all the ingredients( and make a mess without having to clean it up right away!!)
Magic is created everywhere and anywhere..we create in our heart ....the most Magical Portal of all!
If you dream of having a space and it hasn't yet happened..keep spirited..for it will!
I know it!
And any creative soul knows...it is not the space..it is the creative spirit in you that makes the space special!
And more than the "space"..your own special magic is What IS the greatest treasure!!
It is the Shining Seed!
Keep Shinng..Keep Creating..wherever you are!
Bye for now...Have a Sparkling day...

Hey Kiki :)
Such encouraging (THANK YOU!) and LOVELY words - I especially LOVE this line:
"Once upon a time..."It was F o r e v e r"..that I didn't have space to create in..now I do.."
Beautifully stated! Brings my mind to this song:

Kiki,
What a magical look into an enchanted realm of creativity. Your photography beautifully captures the essence of where you create. The line about celebrating the creative Spirit also very much resonated with me as that is the "tag line" for my studio. Great minds think alike.
Many blessings,

Your beautiful sun drenched space is so full of inspiration and color. It may have taken awhile to achieve, but now that you have it, it is a real sight to behold. I love the espresso cups holding oil pastels, and the clever ways you find to store your supplies while making it all look so natural.
This is one magical space. Thanks for sharing it with us mere mortals.
Awesome light drenched space and what beautiful photos and words!
