"Mind OVer Matter" - a gorgeous Studio Girls Collective- a must-have collection!
Step into the past with "Ancient Ways Ostara" - the Spring Equinox celebration by Studio Miki! On sale 4 limited time!
***Limited introductory
sales

The
beginning of
an amazing journey through the year, and the Wheel of Life!
As
we step back in time, we look to the Ancient Ways of our ancestors who
walked the earth and learned its seasonal rhythms.
In following the old ways, the year was marked by the solstices (the 2
longest and shortest days) and the equinoxes (the 2 days each year
where a perfect balance between day and night, dark and light) was
achieved. Third in the Ancient Ways Collection, "Ostara", named for the
Saxon goddess Eostre, and also called the vernal, or spring, equinox
harkens the rebirth of the earth and life within us. Eostre is also
associated with Astarte, Ishtar, Demeter and Aphrodite. She is the
goddess of desire. This day occurs between March 20th and 22nd each
year, and marks the beginning of the agricultural season as well. The
first seeds were planted and it was the time of the first birthing of
the livestock: the lambs were born. Rich in tradition and symbolism,
you will see the many signs of Ostara: eggs and lambs signifying new
life and growth, rabbits which represent fertility and this time of
creation, and the white lily - the symbol of promise between young men
and women as they were traditionally betrothed at this time of the
year. Another symbol of Ostara in Celtic lore was the equilateral
cross, which symbolized both the equilibrium between dark and light on
this day, but also the 4 phases of the moon. Ostar celebrates with new
fire and is celebrated with festivals that emphsize balance and
fertility.
The themes of Ostara are new life/rebirth, growth, harmony
and balance and the beginning of new ideas and goals.
In "Ancient Ways ~ Ostara",
you will find the lighter, yet still vibrant colors of light green,
lavender, pink, robin egg blue, lemon yellow, silver and white.

(Lammas-
coming in July 2014)
For St. Paddy's Day- new "Eire Mini Add On", plus ALL St. Paddy's products on SALE!
First off: THE SALE: http://tinyurl.com/StudioMiki-StPatrick
"Éire" is not
only the Irish name for the island and state of Ireland, but is also
derived from the name of the mythical goddess "Ériu"- who
was key in helping the Gaels conquer Ireland according to the Book of
Invasions.
This collection, "Éire", by Microferk Designs focuses on the
essence of Ireland, and the most well-known celebration: St. Patrick's
Day. St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was born in
Wales circa 385 AD. He was a pagan until his mid-teens, when he was
sold into slavery by a marauding band of Irishmen, and in captivity
converted to Christianity. After escaping his enslavement, he traveled
to Gaul and studied under St. Germain, and gradually realized he was
called to convert pagans to Christianity. He was eventually appointed
as bishop to Ireland, where he was quite successful in his conversion
efforts. During his 30 year mission in Ireland, he established numerous
monasteries, schools and churches. He died on March 17, 461 AD- giving
rise to this feast day.
Many legends surround St. Patrick- one being the myth that he drove all
the snakes from Ireland during a sermon. Actually, no snakes were
indigenous to Ireland, but still, St. Patrick's Day celebrations
persisted! Traditional symbols of St. Patrick's Day include shamrocks,
leprechauns, pots of gold and rainbows. And historically, the shamrock
was a 3 leaved clover. Legend says that St. Patrick explained the
mystery of the trinity with this plant, showing how each leaf
represented the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, yet remained one
plant after all. But there is a four-leafed clover- though it is rare.
Ancient Druids considered them a sign of luck, and through the years,
they too became intermingled with the legends surrounding the normal
clover- and you will find both in Irish lore~
Leprechauns are mythical creatures - elves
actually- that will lead you to a pot of gold if you catch them. They
are solitary beings- avoiding humans and other leprechauns- and
traditionally, they are shoemakers. They are short, rather homely
creatures- broad of shoulder though and quite graceful. They usually
dress in green coats and wear a hat. Some smoke pipes called "dudeens"
and most have a fondness for beer. They are the guardians of the fairy
treasure. Rainbows are a sign to mortals that the treasure is nearby.
If you find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, you may demand the
leprechaun turn it over to you~
So with all of this mind, let
me give you "Eire" by Microferk Designs- a collection that will meet
all of your St. Patrick's Day and Irish heritage scrapping needs for
years to come. Based on traditional colors of the Irish flag: green,
white and orange, with some gold and brown thrown in for good measure
(and even a little rainbow - unique and whimsical!)
In "Eire Mini Kit"
by Microferk Designs, you get a delightful add-on to cpomplement your
"Eire Collection". You get: 3 beautifully blended, patterned and/or
textured papers. and 13 elements that include an adornment, green bow,

stunning print clarity, and elements saved as png files to preserve
transparency. Drop shadows are only applied in instances where layering
of pieces within an element necessitate shadowing for realism.
