Welcome!
What super fun- and believe me when I say that this has been the best escape for a pretty terrible evening.
The thing that speaks to me most about this film is the relationship between the sisters. My sister and I are incredibly close, and although we don't live near enough- we communicate constantly and I would definitely drive across the country if it meant helping her in some way. She is a part of my heart. With that, I am dedicating this little piece to her. A quick aside, I ended up needing her tonight- and she came to my rescue- from a thousand miles away.
The piece was created in a "Romeo Y Julieta" cigar box.
I was waiting to use it for the right project- what better than for a piece about love?
Gillian-
young and beautiful
she exposes her heart
the butterflies speak to
vulnerable transformations
Sally
innocent strong
amidst cold crystal branches
and glittering blossoms
romantic but safe
I am not sure which sister I am, and which is my sister... but the love feels familiar.
Wishing everyone a happy practical magic blog party!
OH.... how about a giveaway!
I will give away a glass charm pendant with my image of Sally or Gillian - you can pick.
How about 3 lucky winners!
I will choose from comments on Sunday!
I will be working all day on my daughter and son's birthday party,
but can't wait until this evening when I can sit down and enjoy the party!
Feel free to comment:-)

Such a wonderful post and creations you've shared for the party! It was a delight to share a midnight margarita with you! I share the sister bond with you - my sister and I are very different, but joined no matter where we are. She is definitely the "Gilly" and I am the "Sally"! Thank you so much for sharing, and for the chance to win something special!

Your images of the sisters are so magickal! Enjoyed stopping by your page and appreciate your giveaway.
What a wonderful post. Yes you are right. The bond between sisters is incredible. I lost mine years back, very young age, and I miss her dearly, but we are bound and connected by the magical bonds that sisters have and we are always together in spirit.
Your artwork is absolutely incredible.
Spells and Wishes,

The sister bond in the story is also my favorite. How lucky that you have one who is there for you. Your box is amazing. I love your Sally and Gillian. I've been a fan of your beautiful art. Thank you for adding magic to our party and I hope things will get better soon.

I envy the sisters and you and your sister. I have one, she is 9 years older than me, she is basically, cold, bitchy and bossy. She wasn't like that when I was in my late teens and 20's.(I hung out at her home, watched her kids we talked and talked, we went through our divorces in the same year, mine was quicker, and I remarried a year later...she kept finding mister wrong) Now that she is supposedly with "mr. right" she is not who she was. She used to wear jeans and tees and be laid back, now she is very uptight and prim and proper. I have had a very, VERY rough adult life starting with those late teen years. She was only there for me (on the periphery after my 2nd trimester miscarriage at the age of 19) I have no one that would drive through the night for me, and it is a lonely horrible feeling.
God bless you both! Additionally i hope whatever your circumstance is at the moment, that things workout to the positive!!
great creation, and I would LOVE to win a sally pendant.
Peace n Love,
Susan
