The Witch of Endor is a figure mentioned in the Bible, specifically in the book of 1 Samuel. According to the narrative, she was a woman with the ability to communicate with the dead. In the story, King Saul of Israel seeks her out for counsel, as he is in distress and without guidance. The encounter between Saul and the Witch of Endor takes place at night, as Saul disguises himself and asks the Witch to conjure up the spirit of the prophet Samuel, who had already passed away. The Witch performs her ritual and is able to bring forth the spirit, much to her surprise. Samuel's spirit predicts Saul's downfall, as God has turned away from him and will give the kingdom to David instead.

4.) Running things with the precision of a clockwork or being reliably punctual is not a French forte. An attention to detail and how to make things look good is. Paris in particular knows how to stage things – whether it is a ceremony, a castle, how to cut a dress (to make its wearer look good) or to lay a table (to celebrate the food). La mise en scène is everywhere in Paris. Whatever eye for detail and beauty I have, I owe it to the City of Light.

A well cut bra, some lace, a matching set of underwear and you are guaranteed to face the day with more confidence such is the transformative power of beautiful lingerie. This is what I did here, using Starburst Sprays, Flat Fabio sprays the ones without the shimmer , embossing powders, Magical Micas and glitters and of course, the Starburst shots are my whole time favorites to create shimmery droplets.

Samuel's spirit predicts Saul's downfall, as God has turned away from him and will give the kingdom to David instead. This prophecy ultimately comes true, as Saul dies in battle and David eventually becomes the next King of Israel. The identity and nature of the Witch of Endor is not explicitly described in the text, leaving room for interpretation and speculation.

Mail Art project with Nolwenn Petitbois

Today, I am sharing something a bit different: mail art ! This is our September project over the year long class I am in, True Free Spirit (lead by the talented Mindy Lacefield), and I really wanted to add this je ne sais quoi that Lindy Stamp Gang brings to anything it is added to.

I always work on several paintings/creations at a time because there is nothing more boring when in the Studio than waiting for paint to dry. AND, switching back and forth allows me to let my intuition rules over my head.

I love Mixed Media because it allows me to explore plenty of different supplies, and to mix and match them however I want. This is what I did here, using Starburst Sprays, Flat Fabio sprays (the ones without the shimmer), embossing powders, Magical Micas and glitters (and of course, the Starburst shots are my whole time favorites to create shimmery droplets).

Inspired by Irina’s last project, I tried her technique of applying embossing powder onto wet paint. I loved the randomness of it all, as you don’t really know where exactly the powder will stick and where it won’t.
Using the Tray Mate made my life way easier, and it’s great to use when applying glitters as well, as you’ll see in the video.

When I lifted some of the wet paint by using a rubber stamp, and then applied the Desert Moon Turquoise embossing powder all over, none went where the stamp took some paint; I then applied some magical mica (my favorite teal: Tibetan Poppy Teal) in the crisses.
I love using the Magical Micas as a kind of watercolor paint (this is how I approached it in the wheel I did on what of the cards): you can play with the opacity by adding more or less water, and more or less powder. You need very little, so your jar should last quite some time.

Droplets make my heart thing, and when they are shimmery thanks to the Color Shots, my heart flies far far away with joy. Saxifrage Olive Copper is a great example of what makes our products unique: they are two-toned !

Did you know that you could use your embossing ink with glitters ? I did not before trying for this project: I really wanted to use them with a rubber stamps and this is how trying the embossing inked popped into my mind. I first tried on a scrap piece of cardboard (the one I used to mask off when stenciling), it worked so I went for it ! This is opening so much doors in my newly found love for glitters. Our glitters are really fine, which makes them quite versatile.

I love that the three of my mail art are so so different from each other. I will probably gesso the back and write my personal message there 🙂
What you don’t see is that I applied varnished, to protect it from bleeding and moving around (especially the glitters).

Ok, enough words ! Here is the video, I hope you’ll enjoy watching my creative process:

5.) Resilience. There is a “go-on-with-your-life-whatever-happens” energy in this city. We certainly had our share of heartbreak and horror, and yet, each time the response from people here is the same. We are shocked, we mourn, but we continue to live life exactly as we choose to. Fluctuat nec mergitur. Parisians are not hard, but they are resilient – they have inner elegance.

Some believe that she possessed genuine supernatural powers, while others argue that she was a fraud or simply skilled in the art of deception. Either way, her encounter with Saul has become a famous and intriguing story within biblical literature..
