What adventures we will have in this fairy tale garden filled with moonlight and flowers. The night is black and the stars are bright, the wildflower meadow is mysterious, dark and deep. Come in, follow the shine of moonlight on the circle shaped steps; let the meandering stone lined path lead the way through the gloom, take a journey into this Queendom of dreams. Discover a magical place that exists between waking and sleeping, a place of reality and imagination, where the boundaries blur between the conscious and waking worlds. Drift away on the heady scent of night blooms and drink in the musk of hidden wild creatures. They wait with you, relaxing calmly in quiet anticipation for the evening’s entertainment to begin. Are you ready? Can you hear it? Listen to the enchanting music emanating from the trees above, a choir of night birds singing in perfect harmony. Look higher! Watch as the stars fall and turn into flowers, which bud and open, like unfolding wishes. Close your eyes tight, quickly tell them your deepest desires, they may just grant you. Now observe as the butterfly dances so gracefully and kisses the flowers, causing them to grow. Watch out, you better duck! Hearts race as hummingbirds buzz by, brushing your skin with a fast feather soft caress. How you will laugh as lizards lounge in lazy latitude while the dragonflies deliver aerobatic flights of delight. Pass into this dimension of mystery and magic and give yourself to the realm of the Goddess Flora. This is the world of Amy E. Fraser’s Night Garden. You are most welcome here.

Happy Halloween!

By
Happy Halloween! Today has always been one of my all time favorite holidays! It is a night full of magic and mystery, a time to face ones fears and celebrate all the dark and scary! I loved Halloween as a kid, making costumes, collecting candy, participating in the adventure, scaring each other to death, what's not to love? Becoming a mother and experiencing Halloween with my son brought it all back. Caden loved Halloween! And I have to admit all the work was worth it when watching him traumatize the other children in his creepy costumes. I'm kidding. He was much too nice for that, no one was scared. Anyway, I had a whole historical Halloween post organized. It was about Samhain, the barrier between the worlds thinning, inviting the dead to dinner... but then I remembered you probably just stopped by to see Caden's Halloween Costumes . It's fine, here they are, all of your favorites: Ghost, Goblin, Vampire, Mummy, Devil, Werepanther and Steampunk Gentleman. Enjoy! Have ...

Editing Feminist Ink

By
Where does the time go? So much for my intentions of consistent blogging, apparently that’s NOT happening. Instead, I’ve been consumed the past few weeks with editing my “Feminist Ink” series. I found my collection of Thesis drawings over the winter break and thought cleaning up the 20 year old concept drawings to make available on AEFraser.com would be a fun little challenge. Challenge, definitely yes, fun, not so much. I scanned in the hefty stack of 32 [11” x 17”] pen and ink drawings, thinking Hey! These are cool, they will add some interesting depth and dimension to my “getting to know your artist series” that I started here on the blog a few months ago. I don’t know if you are realizing this about me or not, but nothing I ever do is fast or easy. The quick clean up that I imagined was going to happen ended up being a major rework on each image, some taking as long as 10-12 hours respectively. What was I thinking? You decide. Here is the before and after example of “Moon Blooming...
