by Annie Fain Barralon
How can you do all that needs done in life and still pursue your desire to learn French, or the guitar, or grow a plant or make art? You can’t put a fiddle under our pillow and wake up playing it (though, how cool would that be!). Join me, Annie Fain Barralon, as I interview painters and gardeners, designers and musicians, photographers and cooks, creative livers of any kind, who have some how, in the middle of it all, continued on their creative paths no matter what.

<p>Is it possible to create within fashion-culture and not create environmental waste? For fiber artist and natural dyer, Lesley Darling, this question is as much a part of her lifestyle as it is her artwork. Her passion for whole systems (from animal to thread) have landed her in places such Sweden, Whales and various folk schools in the U.S. foraging and growing natural dyes and contemplating not often contemplated topics, such as the history of string. She reminds us that many of the old ways of doing things were not in fact “broken,” that traditional skills remain relevant and good for us even today. It’s up to us to be on the search and to share, listen and give it a try…even if it’s with an angora rabbit in your lap (watch the live interview to see the bunny!).</p> <p><br></p> <p>Learn more about Lesley and her work here:</p> <p>Website: <a href="https://www.lesleydarling.space/">https://www.lesleydarling.space</a></p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lesley.darling.fiber/">https://www.instagram.com/lesley.darling.fiber/</a></p> <p>“Let’s Go Birding Together” Audubon project: <a href="https://www.audubon.org/pattiegonia">https://www.audubon.org/pattiegonia</a></p> <p>__________________________</p> <p>All Things Fain House: </p> <p>* Sign up for our monthly newsletter and get a 10% off etsy coupon and access to the free private Facebook group where you can watch these interviews here: www.bit.ly/FainHouse</p> <p>* Website: https://afainhouse.com</p> <p>* Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/FainHouse</p> <p>* Instagram: @fainhouse & @fainhouseradio</p> <p>______________________________________</p> <p>Your Quote for the Day:</p> <p>"There are an infinite number of rewards you could bestow on yourself for working your creative projects, and you deserve every one of them."</p> <p>~Eric Maisel</p>

<p>Years ago, a class Emileigh Zola signed up for was canceled last minute and she ended up in a traditional broom making class. This serendipitous turn of events put her on the path to what would become a big love of her life as well as her main livelihood. It's more than just how good it feels to make things with our hands, Emileigh has what she describes as "a fierce devotion to the beauty of the ordinary." A special, handmade broom meant for sweeping your floor can help transform the "blah" of an everyday chore into more of a ritual and as Emileigh says, "creates an everyday opportunity for slowing down and really being intentional." She is also a teacher of broom making workshops, an herbalist and organizer of women re-wilding gatherings. She reminds us that learning a new skill is an opportunity for us to be beginners again, to allow ourselves to really go for the things that light us up and when that special creative/growth opportunity presents itself to have the courage to "put our hand on the door and open it."</p> <p><br></p> <p>Learn more about Emileigh and her work here:</p> <p>Website: https://handmadebrooms.com</p> <p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rhythm.and.ritual.craft/</p> <p>Fundraiser for Women's Pilgrimage: https://handmadebrooms.com/shop/category/fundraiser/</p> <p>Women's Re-Wilding Retreats: <a href="https://www.wildabundance.net/in-person-classes/rewilding-for-women/">https://www.wildabundance.net/in-person-classes/rewilding-for-women/</a></p> <p>_______________________________________</p> <p>All Things Fain House:<br>* Sign up for our monthly newsletter and get a 10% off etsy coupon and access to the free private Facebook group where you can watch these interviews here: www.bit.ly/FainHouse</p> <p><br>* Website: https://afainhouse.com</p> <p><br>* Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/FainHouse</p> <p><br>* Instagram: @fainhouse & @fainhouseradio</p> <p>______________________________________</p> <p>Your Quote for the Day:</p> <p>"The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper."</p> <p>~ W.B.

<p>The medium where Ginger Huebner feels most at home is the mixing of collage and chalk. Trained as an architect she realized that what called to her more than how a building was designed and put together was how a space "felt." She now uses these mixed media as a way to translate those feelings and, in her words, considers the process her second language. She reminds us that creativity comes in many forms, that we all have our own creative language and that developing our sense of creative freedom and choice is incredibly important no matter our age. Let yourself be nurtured by it and put those good feelings back into the world. Whatever form is comes in, listen to it, love it and embrace it.</p> <p><br> Learn more about Ginger and her work here:</p> <p>Website: www.gingerhuebner.com<br> Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gingerhuebnerart/<br> TED Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/ginger_huebner_conversations_beyond_words_translating_life_through_imagery_color</p> <p>________________________________________</p> <p>All Things Fain House:<br> <br> * Grab your 2023 Fain House Wall Calendar here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1078896944/2023-wall-calendar-watercolor-art-work<br> * Sign up for our monthly newsletter and get a 10% off etsy coupon and access to the free private Facebook group where you can watch these interviews here: www.bit.ly/FainHouse<br> * Website: https://afainhouse.com<br> * Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/FainHouse<br> * Instagram: @fainhouse & @fainhouseradio</p> <p>______________________________________</p> <p>Your Quote for the Day:</p> <p>"There is no end to creativity. Hence, to strive towards an end result is a fool's errand. Set goals, make music and paint pictures, but know that the crux of your happiness balances delicately on the wings of the act of creativity itself. Not at the finish line."</p> <p>~ Brandon Boyd</p>
