Ninsar Creations Halloween Post

Since Fall through Winter is my favorite time of the year I wanted to showcase a few Halloween / Fall artworks.  (Both in woodburning and illustration.)

Wood burning of
"Little Witch Opening the Doorway to Feelings, Delights, and the Spirit of Fall"
by Scott Ferry $63 (free shippin in US)
https://etsy.me/2P7SZP0 via @Etsy

As the spaces in-between open up to give conversation to spirits and ancestors the feelings of nature during Fall and Winter come to swirl around us. I just finished this wood burning on Halloween night. Pumpkin vines crawl upwards and around the pumpkin. The witch floats behind with a datura hat giving dominion over dreams. Moons phase between full and new. This is an original illustration and wood burning on basswood. There is a leather cord to hang it on the wall. The artwork is signed and marked by me. Size is 8"x5".


I also have an inktober illustration  :

Wakicowiche (Ritual Clown)

NINSAR Etsy store opening! Nature and Wildlife Inspired Artwork by Scott Ferry


Just opened my newest Etsy site to showcase my more Nature & Wildlife inspired works.
My most recent works are up now on NINSARCreations.etsy.com
More will follow as I finish each piece. For now I am starting with woodburning.
Since it is Autumn coming, I have two fruit bats that are interested in a
Halloween pumpkin instead of a fruit.
Fall leaves around them from various trees like Black Oak, Sassafras, Willow, and Linden.
Each piece is hand sketched then burned by myself.




The back of this piece has a hanger included and signed by me.
Easy to hang up on the wall.

Come on by and see what I have new in the shop.
Thankyou!

Floralia Festival - through the gate from Beltane to Samhain

The beginning of May was a very popular feast time for the Romans. It was devoted primarily to the worship of Flora, the goddess of flowers. It was in her honor a five day celebration, called the Floralia, was held. The five day festival would start from April 28 and end on May 2. The Romans brought in the rituals of the Floralia festival in the British Isles. And gradually the rituals of the Floralia were added to those of the Beltane. And many of today's customs on the May Day bear a stark similarity with those combined traditions.
The tangible and visible dance of life celebrated at Beltane clearly grows from the dissolution, the dance of death and transformation at Samhain.

It is Beltane in the Southern Hemisphere, the season of sweet desire for being. That desire which holds all form together and allows the dance of life. In the Northern Hemisphere it is Samhain, the season of celebrating the falling apart of all form, the end of desire which allows death and transformation.

At these cross-quarters "the veil is thin that divides the worlds."

Recent scientific studies indicate that organic life may be born from inorganic matter. Particles of plasma, normally considered inorganic, can undergo self-organization resulting in helical structures that become charged and are attracted to each other, thus taking on qualities of living matter — they are "autonomous, they reproduce and they evolve".
