From the Magical Land of Herbal Imagination

Hey, this just in from the land of herbal imagination. 

My long time friends John and Kimberly Gallagher have released their magical Herb Fairies again.  (Kimberly mentored my naturalist daughter, Sasha, for a bit.)

 

You can give this magical mentoring to your kids or grand kids.  Or those youngsters you have adopted into your heart family. 

They have a bunch of stuff to give away => http://bit.ly/KqqnE0  

But it won’t be around for long.  It all ends April 13, 2013 at midnight.  

This is yummy stuff for your inner child. 

The herb fairies will feed your heart. 

So go play now.  => Herb Fairies

 

Sacred Oatmeal???

In the first of our four Living with Magicality
conversations Krysta Gibson talks about a
surprisingly, cool transformational tool – eating
oatmeal. (http://goo.gl/uLpMI)

“How’s that?” you ask?

It is cool, and I use it too. It reminds me of
the silly joke – Buddha goes up to the hot dog
vendor and says, “Make me one with everything.”

Ho HoHo.

As you are eating your oatmeal or your food of
choice, consider …

Where did it come from? How many people were
involved to bring you your breakfast?

Maybe a spouse. Certainly, farmers. And
truckers. And the guys that built and maintained
the tractor. And the guys that made the tires for
the tractor. And the guys that delivered the
tires to the tractor plant. It goes on…

And Nature cooperated to bring you your breakfast.

All the waters of the world danced their water
cycle to make the rain that watered the fields.

And the earth that carries the soil. Where did it
come from? Well, it came from an exploding star.

That same star created every atom in your body.

If you see clearly, everything in the universe
works in harmony to bring you your breakfast. You
are very special. And you are one with
everything.

Chuck Ling Ferret Studio

“What’s the name of your studio?” I gently inquire.

“Huh?” you wonder.

“What’s the name of your studio? What do you call the place where you do your creative work?

“You do have a place to do art and to work on creative projects don’t you?”


If you want to build your right brain, and I assure you that you do, then you need to have a studio.

It needn’t be more than a flat surface in the corner of a room stocked with cool pens where you can doodle. But setting aside space gives this aspect of your life importance.

I wanted to explore creating comics more as a way to play, expand my story telling abilities, and to enhance my design sense – all right brain skills, so I went to the library.

Tip: If you want to learn a subject fast and have the maximum amount of fun, look for books aimed at kids.

In this case, I discovered Dewey decimal J808.06674 So, You Wanna Be a Comic Book Artist by Phillip Amara, illustrations by Pop Mhan.

Hot Doggy.

Phillip suggested I name my studio. Cool.

I walked into Suzanne’s room, office, and suggested she name her room. Out of the conversation with her, up bubbled the name for my studio – Chuckling Ferret Studio.

The name needed to be playful – play is right brain stuff you remember.

Did you know that ferrets chuckle when they play? Otherwise, they are silent. I lived with a wonderful fellow, a ferret named, Dakota, for eight years. I miss him still.

Ferrets, like otters, are the most playful creatures I know. They also have an unquenchable curiosity. I want to cultivate these qualities, don’t you?

Ed, the ferret man, said, “Ferrets remain playful, like kittens, their entire lives.” He was right. I want to be playful my entire life, too.

The name Chuckling Ferret Studio also lends itself to some word play. Chuck Ling and his Ferret Studio popped into my head.

One of my on-going fantasies is to rent warehouse space to create art and breed ferrets – hence a ferret studio.

You get the picture – playful.

Chuck Ling also becomes a wonderful pseudonym. What possibilities for art and story emerge from this identity?

What books would Chuck Ling write? What comic books would he draw?

What will you name your studio?

Where will it be?

How will you stock it?

By when will you get it done? Set a date. Do it. Let the good times roll.
