"I have filled him with divine breath/spirit (ruah), with ability, intelligence, and knowledge in every kind of craft, to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze, in cutting stones for setting and in carving wood, in every kind of craft." (Exodus 31:3-4).

Healing and Art
By Kathy
We are all co-creators with God who is the original artist. Art is a healing path for many. My preferred expression of creativity is pressed flower art, and card making. I have been a member of the World Wide Pressed Flower Guild (WWPFG) for over 15 years... have attended two of the international conferences, one in New York, one in California. I got a lot of hands-on training in various techniques. Meeting the members in person and getting to know them , and working with them was so much fun. You can see some of my art work througout this site, including the photo on this page.
A Prayer for Artists
Bless the creators, O God of creation, who by their gifts make the world a more joyful and beautiful realm. Through their labors they teach us to see more clearly the truth around us. In their inspiration they call forth wonder and awe in our own living. In their hope and vision they remind usthat life is holy. Bless all who create in your image,O God of creation. Pour your Spirit upon them that their hearts may sing and their works be fulfilling. Amen.
