n i n n a l u i n s p i r e d | An Autumn Photo Retrospective

 

 

The autumnal equinox was on September 22nd, 2020 

this year, which spiritually means the ability to express one's individuality

or "oneness" . To celebrate this one of four equinoxes, 

I have put together a photo retrospective of my crafty activities with

 n i n n a l u i n s p i r e d.

During this month of September, I was continuously on DIY fire.

Creating these meaning cards for my healing stone wreaths has been tremenduosly fun

as I used a beautiful geode inspired paper from Paper Source as pictured above.

 

 

 

It's been amazingly fun designing, creating and developing these unique, one of a kind

wreaths as part of one's peaceful sanctuary for a client at 

Sutter Street Folsom's Wolf Home Decor in sunny Northern California.

Wishing and dreaming these wreaths will not only provide healing in one's life journey, 

that it could also be just as rewarding, that it finds a heartwarming home.

As a tribute to our daughter, Trinity Marie. This craft

is a continuation for the reverence of her very short life.

 

 

 

During this equinox, I ordered a custom made calligraphied love poem as a special birthday gift.

This important short sentence from this love poem can be interpreted a thousand ways.

My interpretation is that love has no measurement in distance, and that love will still stay.

By using different stocks of paper, just like that beautiful geode inspired paper, and a wooden frame,

not only adds to the earth element of the gift,

I used a part of that poem written by Courtney Peppernell,

{as the element of (autumnal) air} As LOVE is in the air.

 

 

Lastly, I wish I can reveal this upcoming prototype project,

but it does have something to do with

a water[fall] element

for

n i n n a l u i n s p i r e d.

So stay tuned.

 

Thank you so much for reading.

My Art Oasis

 

 

I had the idea to set up my crafts in the courtyard this past weekend. It was such a beautiful day that I decided to paint outside. It almost felt like an art project oasis for me. Definitely therapeutic and also filled my time while staying at home over the weekend. Although it was temporary, I easily put everything back in its place and my courtyard was back to normal again. Who knows, I could set up in the backyard next time I'm inspired to create. 

 

Below is the heart chakra I painted. 

If you missed the Instagram Live from @makeandtake_hostedbyninnalu,

we are having one on April 5th, Sunday which starts at 2pm:

Creative Social Distancing - A Virtual Event

 

Speaking of crafts, take a quick visit through my collection of DIY's for at home ideas:

I do have to share with you, going towards my third weekend of staying at home, staying productive has been a bit of a challenge. Simultaneously, gathering events have been postponed or cancelled, we are unable to share the art experience in real life to many people within our community. Summer is also approaching, and the uncertainty of not being able to share this craft with others is almost saddening to me. As a result, I am offering local deliveries of the Make and Take painting kits through Ninna Lu's Facebook page until April 26th, please shoot me a message if you're interested: https://www.facebook.com/Shopninnalu/

Thank you so much for all your continued support!

Stay healthy and safe.

A Make & Take Experience | The Creative Women's Group Craft Event

 

 

   A unique make & take experience was held at El Dorado Hills, CA for The Creative Women's Meetup Group where co-founder, Freya Chapman, decided to DIY healing stone wreaths and share the relaxing experience with other women within the group. Food, drinks, and conversations were shared. It was an overall successful event and we would like to continue this in the Fall this year and call it Harvest Themed Healing. 

 

 

 

Pictured above is to show sample ideas of what can be done with these healing stones.

A lesson is being learned in this picture.

 

 

Ana created a moon-shaped wreath for her little boy's room.

 

 

Teresa chose a simple 6" wreath with an amethyst stone.

 

 

Ali decided to make one for her amazing friend.

 

Creative women in action.

 

 

Freya actually made three! Two are pictured here.

 

 

This 12" moon shaped wreath was made with a rose quartz stone. You can find these and many other healing stone wreaths at Uptown Market on 1409 Del Paso Boulevard on one of these Saturdays:

A Make & Take Experience | Sacramento SPCA Spring Craft Pawty

   

    A special private Make & Take event was held in partnership with the Sacramento SPCA at their Spring Craft Pawty on May 23, 2019 to help animals in need. Eight pet related designs to choose from, exclusively curated by Kristi, Special Events Manager of the Sacramento SPCA, guests were able to also choose from a plain wooden surface or a bright white 11 x 16 wood surface to paint their masterpiece with four to five different chalk paint colors. Supplies to create your art were also provided. The craft pawty consisted of a tour of the Sacramento SPCA facility and kitten play session with snacks and beverages too for the guests.

 

 

 

 

The most popular design that evening was the pitbull art design. 

Pictured above is our furry guest, Oliver, a real pitbull, Kristi's furry baby. Six guests took turns to paint their pitbull wooden masterpiece, frame included, not pictured is Kristi.

 

You have to love the little chihuahua design!

 

 

Lovers of cats were also there that evening!

 

 

Some chose to not frame their art and chose to go rustic with their piece.
