Dear Moon Muser,

Mom & I at the Sawdust Art Festival during a class on silk painting I taught

“A note to let you know how very much I have enjoyed and continue to enjoy your Lulu pictures in my home. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all the pictures I have of your cats.  I’m very lucky to have several cat pictures.

I have Valerian - which is my absolute favourite, followed closely by Cat Wink and Happy Garden Cat.  These pictures give me and have given me lots of pleasure. Plus I like the feeling they give to the room(s).

   Also a very special and important comment for me  ——-  They remind me of you and bring you into the room(s). I like that alot.”

My Favorites

The Chase by Kathy Crabbe

The Chase

She is my second favorite mermaid but turned out she was the most popular with my customers!  I love her because I am she - a red headed mermaid! She also reminds me of my best friend at the time, Tangerine, a lovely red head who was also a favorite model for the artists in Laguna Beach. Plus, I have a thing for redheads! My best friend growing up is a redhead and so is my husband!

Sea Priestess by Kathy Crabbe

Sea Priestess

I have the original watercolor painting hanging in my bathroom.  She reminds me of a beloved mermaid from fairytale books and I just love her sweet energy and that her trusty mer-cat is by her side, such a delight - especially her eyes - twinkly!

March Cat by Kathy Crabbe

March Cat

This kitty is my 'Pin' aka Luis - the Sawdust Art Festival feral kitty that I adopted one night at the Sawdust - she was a one-person kitty and that person was me - I was so lucky.

Lazy Day by Kathy Crabbe

Lazy Day

This reminds me of my dog Guinness who was a lovely mix of Golden Retriever and Australian Shepherd.  He is no longer with us and neither is Abby, our female mix of the same kind - what loving, smart friends they were.

Three New Paintings: Attunement, Love Is... & Spell Kitty

Attunement
I'd been feeling restless with my painting but with "Attunement" I achieved exactly what I wanted which was to express the inner peace, strength and harmony I was feeling in that moment. I captured that feeling by taking the imagery down to it's simplest elements. I have always said that simplicity is THE HARDEST thing to achieve in creative work; it's so tempting to keep adding more and more and more to the painting rather than to just leave it alone when it's done.

"Attunement"  8.75 x 10"  Acrylic Gouache on paper

Luv Is
Before “Attunement” I got messy and invited my inner child to have some fun!  This is what came out.

"Luv Is..."  8.25 x 10"  Acrylic Gouache on paper

Spell Kitty
I was really feeling like painting on something solid so I pulled out my reclaimed pine board which is quite thick (3/4 inches) and I intuitively chose a passage from the Motherpeace Tarot Book which turned into a spell for this Kitty Painting to help your "journey to the cool realms of intellect, a time out from the emotions in favor of a thoughtful, introspective period." (Motherpeace, p. 211, Priestess of Cups Card).

"Spell Kitty"  3.75 x 4.25"  Mixed Media on wood

About Kathy Crabbe

Faerieality

I am a self taught artist intuitively inspired by a shamanic exploration of seen and unseen worlds. I combine unconventional methods like non dominant hand drawing, random word collage, and dreams to help ne lose my bearing and move forward with only a glimmer of faerie dust to lead the way.

The Faerieality Series is painted with gouache and watercolor on Montreal-made paper. Each painting is inspired by an intuitively chosen section of a book that I felt had ‘faerie energy’. After the painting was done I then intuitively chose a few words to collage into the piece.

About the Originals: Each original is a gouache and mixed media painting measuring 6x6 inches (15.2x15.2 cm) and is adhered to an 8x8 inch acid free mat, ready-to-frame (frame not included).

• Signed and dated by the artist

• Includes certificate of authenticity

• The artwork will be packaged in a clear sleeve and shipped flat in a sturdy cardboard mailer

I work within the field of Spiritual Automatism. This is a method of art-making in which the artist suppresses conscious control over the making process, allowing the unconscious mind to have great sway. Early 20th-century Dadaists, such as Hans Arp and made some use of this method through chance operations.

Forgotten Victorian artist, spiritualist and medium, Georgiana Houghton is also an inspiration.

Paintings from the Faerieality Series

“Noise and Silence - wind in the trees, thunder, flowing water, falling leaves, rain, animal voices, bird song - we live amid a teeming polyphony of natural sounds.”

Thomas Moore, The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life

“Day darken! Frogs say
By day…bring light!
Light! They cry
By night. Old Grumblers!”

Haiku Harvest

“How will you know when these other aspects of self begin to show themselves?…You may be sitting one day and find all of a sudden that upon blinking your eyes you are sitting in a different room. That is getting hit over the head with a two-by-four.”

Barbara Marciniak, Family of Light

“To see Schafer’s opera The Princess of Stars, for instance, the audience must arrive at a lake in the middle of the night, and find their way to the embankment. At 5:00 a.m., precisely the performance begins with the appearance of the presenter in a canoe. Actors and dancers can be heard, chanting in an unknown language from other canoes at the center of the lake, while the musicians and singers are hidden in the surrounding trees.”

Suzi Gablick, The Re-Enchantment of Art

“Weaving boundaries
staking out home turf overnight
with a web of soft imperative.”

Georgia A. Popoff, Coaxing Nectar from Longing

“Whenever you feel you need a break, take a walk and enjoy the wonders of nature all around you. If you open your eyes you cannot fail to see them. All of that helps to keep your vibrations raised.”

Pick-a-Card for the Sagittarius Full Moon

Sagittarius Full Moon Reading by Kathy Crabbe

Card 1: Fairy in the Raw (Lefty Oracle)

Mantra: I am naked.
Affirmation: I am raw and beautiful in my truth.
Element: Air

If this card appears in a reading it’s time to get down to the naked truth. What do you need to face up to in your life with complete truth and honesty? Is there a part of your life or yourself that you are avoiding? It’s time to take off the rose coloured glasses and look at your life in all honesty right now. It’s not a time for judgment or righteousness, but purity, so open your eyes in faith and trust that you will be guided by truth and fairness.

In my own life, rawness and naked-ness mean simplicity and ease. I like going naked (privately) or wearing very few clothes or when I go out just dressing simply because it feels good. Likewise, so too does getting rid of excess baggage; storage items, junk etc. As I shed layers and de-clutter, both physically and spiritually, I get closer to the bone, the truth. Simplicity for me brings clarity and it frees me up to do more of what I love.

Card 2: Lovebirds (Elfin Ally Oracle)

Keyword: Together-ness
Meaning: Only you can decide what’s best for you; a loved one must wait their turn.
Reversed: Your will is overshadowed by another.

Affirmation: I am a lover.
Astrology: Gemini, Libra, Mercury
Element: Air

Medicine: You entice us to love more.

Card 3: Caava Kicks Butt (Lefty Oracle)

Mantra: I am strong.
Affirmation: I mean business.
Element: Fire

If this card appears in a reading it’s self-evident that you need to take a stand. Who or what needs the boot in your life? Bolster your strength and courage and do something about it. NOW. Reach out for support. You don’t have to do this alone. Your heart is in the right place and you WILL move forward. There is a time and a place to take action and that time has come. Don’t charge in madly until you know exactly what you need to do. Write it down or talk it over with a friend if need be. Then move forward, one spiked toe at a time and it’s done. Good work, brave soul!

In my own life I usually like to wait to take action in regards to a grievance until I feel the fire in my veins. I’ve prepared for that moment by thinking and talking it through so I’m ready with the power of emotion and intellect for when I do take action and it gets results!

Card 4: Owl-Heart (Elfin Ally Oracle)

Keyword: Besties
Meaning: This is a fine time for reflection and self-care.
Reversed: There is too much going on and you are stuck in the middle.

Affirmation: I am wise and playful.
Astrology: Moon, Saturn, Pluto
Element: Earth, Water

Medicine: Your wise-heart and owl-eyes guide us through the darkest hour.

About Kathy Crabbe

I am a bridge between this world and Faerie. Art is in my blood going back generations. I paint to survive guided by talismans: a white feather, being ‘on-the-road’, the Czech folk art of my mother’s family and my cartoonist grandfather who speaks to me from Beyond inspiring me to keep it light.
