These colorful Watercolor Moon Calendars just land These colorful Watercolor Moon Calendars just landed in my Etsy shop! 

This 12-month desk calendar features original watercolors prints of the full moons across the year. The colors follow the spectrum of temperatures and seasonal changes through the year.

These beauties are 5 x 7 - perfect size for wall or desktop. They are printed on thick art paper…so they can easily be repurposed into a moon journals after the month is over!😉😊

Also, with each calendar I’ve  included an additional card explaining the names and keywords about each moon, the seasonal significance, as well as my thoughts about the colors i chose as I painted them. Thanks mom for the great suggestion!🥰 

Also, check out the moon stickers while you’re there - perfect for journaling, water bottles, laptops or wherever you need a little extra moonlight in your life!

I’m so excited to be guest teaching in the Deck I’m so excited to be guest teaching in the Deck Creator’s Mastermind Cycle 7, October 21-23.
 
Are you ready to bring your dream deck into the world? Do you have an idea for a deck that you think will inspire people? Have you been making art for years and want to transform it into an oracle, inspiration, or tarot deck?

If so, then join us Oct 21-23 for the Deck Creator’s Mastermind with @kialagives. It’s a fun-filled, interactive journey through all the ways you can create, publish, market, and sell an oracle, tarot, affirmation, or inspiration deck that you create from your original idea.

In this cycle, I’ll be teaching alongside @otm_academy, @pixiecurio and @jamiesawyer_336. I absolutely could not have made the Flow Tarot without the Deck Creator’s Mastermind. It opened up so many possibilities for me as a deck designer!

As a teacher, I will be sharing my experiences taking my deck from a personal project to a public one; my surprises and stumbles; my experiences setting up and selling on Etsy; and tips on how you can move your deck into the public sphere. I’ll also be chatting about the Flow tarot guidebook, how I wrote and formatted it, and some formulas you can use to get started on your own guidebook.

Cycle 7 of the Deck Creator’s Mastermind with @kialagives is open for enrollment! We begin Friday October 21. Use the link in my bio to register!☀️

I had to step away for a while to get these finish I had to step away for a while to get these finished, but I’m coming back to the shore with brand new offerings - A full-color, 128-page guidebook for the Flow Tarot and water element mala necklaces. Made of sea glass and amazonite, these malas are handmade by me for water lovers, sea witches and mermaids who have chosen a life on land. (And of course anyone else who wants to meditate with the water element!)
✨🌊✨
I’ll be posting more about both, including when they’ll be listed in my shop. But right now, I’m just feeling very grateful to be bringing these into the world. The new moon feels like the right time to share. It’s about planting seeds. Moving with hope through dark places. After a lot of hard work, I feel like I’m finally finished with this stage of the deck. The guidebook and the elemental mala were the two missing pieces. It was how I envisioned the deck, and it didn’t feel complete without them. Now I can’t wait to see how it grows from here!

We make these cookies for summer solstice, but really…you could make these any time of the year! And this recipe is very forgiving- use a little more butter or a little less flour. Add lemon juice or lemon zest or lemon crystals. Add fresh lavender or dried lavender or even a dash of lavender essential oil. They are a bright, sunny, favorite cookie of summertime!
