Friendship by autumnwind
a friend / I call my sister / would be here / if I wished her / in a minute do you have a friend like that / who knows your heart / like no other who loves and laughs / with her whole entire being who knows the moment something’s wrong / and showers you with concern / who puts you first / and gives without hesitation I do sister, though you are / miles away / when the wind dries your tears / and catches your heart / believe in the magic / of my love never forget.. / a friend you call your sister / would be there if you wished her / in a minute

Sisters by Joyce Ann Burton-Sousa
I really enjoyed this painting from beginning to end. I thought I had lost it at first when I began the foreground. But that sometimes happens when I paint. I hung on to my vision, and it came out just fine. This painting was featured in Sisters in Arms. The medium is watercolor, I use Arches cold pressed 100% cotton paper, and the dimensions of the original painting are 12 3/4 inches x 16 1/2 inches.

Keeper of the Stars (Justice) by Lynsye Medalia
Featured in The Divine Feminine, Sisters in Arms and Painted Ladies groups Acrylic on 9×12 canvas board – a little inspiration from my favorite artist, Erte! She is a sky goddess, guardian of the stars and night sky, she’s the one that makes the sun set and the moon rise. She also stands as Justice one of the Major Arcana cards in a tarot deck. The two most important laws governed by Justice are really two sides of the same coin. First comes the law of cause and effect, stating that all events are connected and each present state is the result of all past states. This is a such strange idea to get your mind around because sometimes seemlingly meaningless actions will have great ramifications. Justice shows that every action you do will eventually have an effect, someday, and you really have no idea of knowing what that event is until it happens. Often the figure on the Justice card is pictured sitting in front of a curtain; this curtain hides the machinations of the universe that bring about these final results. From the law of cause and order develops the law of Karma, showing that all your actions will return to you eventually. They will be modified slightly, and they are often strengthened over time, but the lesson is still the same. As you sow, so shall you reap. This is really a simple elaboration of the law of cause and effect. Under this new law, not only will everything you do have an effect, everything you do will have an effect on you. This is where it becomes critical to be mindful of your actions, because everything you take will come back to you eventually. Before Justice, you have to answer for all your actions, right and wrong. Life, if nothing else, is fair. She raises her curtain to start a sunset or to bring on the night, all the while, behind it, the universe stirs. She is cause and effect embodied, Every sunset she makes sets into motion the timing for the next day. She governs the laws of the universe.

Lost in the Waves by coppertrees
Hand painted. edited in photoshop / This is a person going under water looking up Me and the River / By Alison Pearce I’d loved the river that ran through the woods behind our property. It was my sanctuary, my confidante when times were tough. When Mama drank and Daddy started to yell, I’d run there to escape. / When chaos ruled at home, the river would be there to listen and would embrace the tears I shed as a cherished gift. I knew the river and it knew me. / Mama stopped drinking and Daddy didn’t yell after the day the river took me in her arms, after they realised I was missing at all of course. / They searched and called my name, but I couldn’t answer. Mama saw me once as she knelt on the banks. She gasped as she looked into my eyes, still round and innocent though a decade had passed. / When she blinked, I had gone. I am part of the river now. © Alison Pearce

Woman Warrior -Touch Drawing on paper by margotmythmaker
So, you may be wondering : What is touch drawing? In the words of the talented woman who created it – Debra Koff-Chapin: “Touch Drawing is a simple yet profound process that allows the soul to speak through the hands. In touch drawing, the fingers take the place of pen or brush. Paper is placed over a freshly inked surface, and wherever it is touched, an imprint is made on the back side. Many drawings can be made in one session, each a stepping stone to the next, guiding one deeper and deeper into the self. Even those who believe they cannot draw find Touch drawing to be a powerful and fulfilling experience.” In my own words, touch drawing is basically a monoprint- and the lines are drawn with fingernails or fingertips. What is so magical about the process is that because you are drawing directly with your hands, expressions are much more authentic. Emphasis is not placed on “getting things right” but expressing your inner world. I find the process to be very freeing. (as long as you check your inner critic at the door!) Because there is no erasing or reconfiguring, touch drawings can sometimes look rough or raw-but that is what I think is most beautiful about them. I have started to colorize some of my touch drawings with pastel and paint. I will post some of those soon. http://touchdrawing.com/

My Best Friend by diLuisa
I just wanted to introduce you to my best friend in the world…....her name is Annalise and she is the most wonderful person I have ever met! We may have different parents, but we are truly sisters in every other sense of the word. We live on opposite ends of the world, but it doesn’t matter. I know what she is doing, thinking and feeling every single day…....... And I don’t even need to call her when I want to talk…....my phone just starts to ring. We used to think it strange, but now we just accept it as perfect. When think of Annalise, I think: Warm / Caring / Hilariously funny / Generous / Biggest heart on the planet. / Beautiful woman. / Clumsiest person I have ever met. / Untidy & disorganised, but with sporadic moments of extreme SUPER tidiness and organisation! / The only person that I can talk to without using words. / My stability. / The one that lets me float high in the clouds, and floats right there beside me. / The only person in the world who knows every single secret of mine…... / The only person in the world who has never judged any single secret of mine…..... / One of the best singers I have ever heard. / Someone I can do silly things with, like dance and sing on the streets; or dare each other to do really stupid tasks; or make prank calls after too many drinks! / Someone who is there for the serious moments like crying; loving; and the birth of my child. / Someone that sits in the waiting room with me at the doctor’s office, and never lets go of my hand. / Someone that tells me when I have parsley in my teeth. / Someone that stays after the party and helps me to wash the dishes and clean up. / Someone that always, always tells me the truth….....even when it hurts. This is my best friend. My sister. My butterfly. My Annalise.

The Fool by Anna Shaw
The Fool This is the first in my new series, – Tarot 2010. I am so excited by the thought of what might emerge in this series. I want it to be completely original and unlike anything we have seen before, breaking from the old traditions, as all Tarot Decks were designed for the epoch in which the creators lived, and their own beliefs. I would like this deck to celebrate the joys, issues choices and dilemmas faced by women in 2010 / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- / I would like to thank Mr E / for planting this idea in my mind / -—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-— / ! / MCN :: CK6VX-L2VY9-QYPDM / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— / Created entirely in Photoshop CS4. Three different backgrounds were blended together and then the individual components blended. textures and colour fill layers were used to meld the whole together _______ The music is just beautiful, – Barbara Streisland singing ‘Send in The Clowns’ / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— / I am indebted to the following artists for generously making available their stock.

The Right Way Up? by Barbara Glatzeder
Rollerball and ? on 180g pitted drawing paper. The ? results from this piece being an Exquisite Corpse collab and I forgot to ask Tammy what she completed the piece with … So she bmailed me with this idea which I thought was a rather fun thing … one of us (both of us!) does half a drawing, covers it for all but an inch or so, and sends it to the other by snailmail to complete (without knowing what the covered bit looks like) What I sent her looked like this: / and she chose (ha!) to complete it upside down (by intuition she knew it just had to be more interesting this way), so she got this: / and immediately got featured in The Resurrection of The Exquisite Corpse :-)) ... which I then reworked so both of ours would be the right – or the christian – way up (depending on your screen position) It was great fun and I’m looking forward to the half she’s sent off to me (and hoping for a ‘this way up’ sign!!)
