Wesak moon over Tuscany : acrylic on callico (30 x 30cm) Photo Morelle Smith I made this small wall hanging for my friend Morelle's birthday, which fell on the Wesak moon 2001, the first full moon in May. Wesak is a Buddhist festival which is celebrated yearly at this time. |

Hill top wild flower meadow,wild orchids,thyme and buttercups : Alpi di Poti . The orchid is Orchis morio.This information is given by fellow blogger Henk who is a nature photographer and poet. Insiration for the artwork came from a visit I made to Tuscany some years earlier.Over the period of the Wesak moon we stayed in an old hunting lodge on Alpi di Poti above Arezzo.On the eve of the full moon we visited the nearby village of Monterchi to see Piero's beautiful Madonna del Parto and on our return to the inn we were greeted by the most spectacular moon which bathed the our surroundings and the valley below in exquisite moonlight. |

What a nice serie about Tuscany, it's art in his own nature. I like that region, especially arround Siena. The last photo's shows Orchids (Orchis morio).
have a nice evening,
Henk.
Your handcraft is very beautiful, I like the background with the different blue colours. The photo of the moon is great, looks like a movie-scene.
Your friend received a precious gift of your time and soul. The iridescent fabric showcases the luminescence of the moon. Well done!
Hello, Forest Dream Weaver.
I am sure your friend was glad to recieve your precious gift! It is very lovely. You have very beautiful natures. All of your images are beautiful. Especially I like the Monerchi village and Ancient olive trees and buttercup fields. So lovely!
Morelle will be delighted with your beautiful Wesak moon over Tuscany. Your unique art is amazing and a lovely interpretation. I just spoke with a friend who is headed to Florence and Tuscany... wish that I could go back again!

Beautiful photographs.
What a magical time, beautiful scenery, and precious memories. Your fabric depiction of the moon is stunning. You've really captured the awe that such a luminous sight inspires.
Goodmorning Ruby,
Many thanks for your nice comment yesterday and ofcourse you can use the information on your Blog, you already did I see, nice! ( small detail, 'it's photographer, you used a g').
I will try to make my poems in English, because the Google translater is not usefull for rules from a poet;), Iam sorry for that, but I'll do my best!
Have a nice day,
Best wishes,
Henk.
Oh Ruby, and the link from my name to my blog doesn't work, look to my name I know it's a difficult-one,
thanks ;) http://henkknibbelerdichterfotograaf.blogspot.com/
Your creation is lovely. I know your friend was very pleased. Your photographs are wonderful as well. I'd love to visit Tuscany one day.....
your wall hanging is quite wonderful! I can only guess that your friend loves it. Your other photos and more are lovely to see as well.
Under this mysterious moon, everything must look very beautiful. Forest is shinning and singing. The color combination of silver and metallic pink in the moon is stunning beyond words. I feel this work depicts your name very eloquently, Forest Dream Weaver.
Your friend, Morelle was very happy to have such an exquisite art.
Have a nice weekend.
Yes indeed your friend was very happy to receive the Wesak Moon, thank you! And I am fortunate enough indeed to be able to look at it at any time. Your photo of the recent Moon is fantastic. and lovely photos of Italy too.

Henk, thanks for your input!
Best wishes for a pleasant and creative week.

Excuse me for posting a comment to this rather old post. I was so moved by your art of wall hanging. The warmth as well as wonder and mystery of the moon is radiating. The moon in your photo shines over the world in the darkness.
I've been intersted in your name "Forest Dream Weaver" and wondered what dreams you were weaving when seeing your name on my friend's blog. I look forward to more dreams woven and created by you.
