Dusty Lives
Posting this for all who have lost a beloved pet. I had an after death communication from my German Shepherd letting me know he was alright. It helped me thru the grieving process.

So very sorry to hear that Adelaide. I can feel that angst. I will always miss him along with my other beloved companions and look forward to the day we reunite and run thru the forests again. How lucky was I to have such a friend.

This touched a nerve as my German Shepherd is not long for this world. I still communicate with other dearly loved pets that have remained here long after they have passed and am confident that she will do the same. I'm so pleased for you that you had this communication and were able to express it in this painting.

Ah Rhonda. As a Pagan, animals are very much apart of my everyday life, not just around the home, but in my worship. No-one in todays "modern,fast-paced, go-getter world" realise the debt we owe them. The ancestors knew, and so do indigenous tribes still hanging on in the few untamed regions left to us. I see death rather differently to most folks. It is part of the great circle of life, and the only thing we can be sure of in life. It is natural to me that your pets should come back to see you, because they still possess what we have lost. Most people call it a 6th sense. It is a blessing w are allowed when we need it.

The painting itself has a story to tell and the power to keep the eye there. Your style is great Rhonda!

What a lovely painting. The light and shade is great.
My 20 year old cat just died a cople of weeks ago. I am so glad I didn't have to make the decision to take her to the vets. She went in her sleep.
No pet communications but I do believe my sister came to me the Christmas after she died.

I to had a German Shepherd (female) also called 'Dusty'. I had to have her put down 18 months ago - the worst day of my life todate.

I totally agree with you Mo - my animals have been spiritual guides for me - I remain humble from what they taught me that humans could not. I aspire to be worthy of the company and love of my animal friends.
Thanks for commenting and sharing your story.

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
