As someone who does Qi Gong every day, I can only imagine that Diana's creations are infused with this energy as well. The receiver of her talents also feels the "staticky" sensation. A real gift. As someone who is not a "maker" myself, that feeling is the glue of us all.
Diane - Wow! What beautiful work you do and what an inspiring orientation you have toward this gift of yours. I love that you are sharing it so with your grandchildren. The confidence with which you express yourself is very moving to me. Thank you or all these photos! it really makes your work come alive. it is stunningly beautiful. I esp loved the rhino looking at the moon!
Wonderful Rafter Snap! Absolutely beautiful work and craftsmanship, Diana! I love that favorite memory of yours--taking the jewelry class with your father. What a wonderful creative journey you're on--and now inspiring your granddaughter, the next generation.
I've experienced that "staticky" feeling of electricity many times in different gatherings of makers/writers/artists. A long while back, I belonged to a circle of women who read The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron and discussed it. Reading that book, writing Morning Pages, going on Artist Dates, and meeting with our Artist's Way group changed my life. Later, some women formed a group of writers, and we called ourselves Wild Women Writing (WWW). More life changing energy and transformation. Beyond grateful to be riding The Raft at this point on my creative path with so many amazing, inspiring folks! 🙏

I suspect, Diane, that you, too, are a "maker"—e.g., through your Qi Gong practice!

So cool, passing a creative gift of any sort to a young person, without expectations!
Diana does beautiful work 🙏
That is an understatement!
