Everyone seemed to like the view of the ceiling panel, so here is another. It is made up of individual glass sculptures inspired by sea creatures and plants.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 21 #WinterSolstice #MidWinter here #MidSummer for those on the currently sunny side of the globe!
In the North we celebrate the beginning of the slow return of #Saule #Sun but don't forget to give #Darkness its due: life, #regeneration begins in the darkness of blood, soil, womb, heart, brain! Darkness is #rest #nest Take time to repose and #reflect and appreciate the long quiet nights.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 19 didn't spend too much time outside yesterday (bit of shovelling, restocking wood etc) but just as I was going out in the afternoon, noticed the sun coming through the trees. Almost #WinterSolstice I walked down the road allowance beside the acreage + just a little way out on the farm following that light #Saule #Sun was playing peek-a-boo through the clouds Her power is at its lowest of the year, but her beauty is great #WinterBright #pagan #Latvian #animist #Alberta
