Wamboldtopia
A place? A state of mind?

Garden, sanctuary, outdoor art gallery, creative playground... Wamboldtopia is a tiny piece of heaven in West Asheville. It is home to Damaris and Ricki Pierce who continue to transform it...

Wamboldtopia Assessing the damage... large Leland Cypress uprooted. :-( Many other smaller things smooshed or broken, but this one was the only large casualty so far. Hope that our friends in Black Mountain get their power back up soon; so sorry for all the trees they lost there!

Thanks, All! This happened from a heavy topload of snow, heavy indeed! I did put a stake under it yesterday and am hoping that we can help it up. Problem is that it's blocking a needed path, so we'll see. Have never cut a leland but anything's possible, could imagine doing that and seeing how it grows back (it does, right?). Having been to ... See MoreBlack Mountain yesterday morning made me very, very thankful, while it was an absolutely stunning winter wonderland at Highrock Acres, the destruction was obvious. A friend told me that it had sounded like a war... loud crushing sounds of trees snapping continously.

Wamboldtopia A week at John C. Campbell Folkschool with John and Sharon Wingertsahn got me all fired up! John teaches the techniques for his trademark birdhouses and the whole class worked feaverishly to complete several projects during the few days we had. What an experience! The folkschool is like a different world...

Thanks for your little photo-documentary. I love the houses you created. Whimsy, fun, beautiful.

Wamboldtopia Well, judging from this money plant forcing its way through this column, I must concur that prosperity and abundance cannot be kept at bay! We're ready. :-)

Wamboldtopia All sortsa magick folk living here! These images are from spring. But now everyone's moved underground. Good time tho to hunt for new rocks now that the weeds have died back.

The basic instructions for these sweeties is Stone-Painting-Queen Lin Wellford's book "Painting Houses, Cottages and Towns on Rocks." I have several author signed copies and if anyone's interested in having a little workshop we could put something together... maybe for the spring!

I like the sound of this, LMK when you set a time and date. Also, I like the sound of a portal creating class too.

Wamboldtopia Inspire someone to create! The perfect gift: a certificate for creative intention-setting play. Give to yourself or a loved one the opportunity to craft a custom portal rich in meaning through symbols and images.

The symbol of the door…a pointer to a gateway into a different world of experience!With conscious intention, invite into your lifethat which you wish to manifest,use the portal to remind you of your power of choice.

Does that mean you are teaching a class? If so, when?

I currently offer custom (commissioned) portals and one-on-one explorations. Classes will come after the studio gets plumbed... stay tuned. THanks for asking, Michelle!

Damaris! All these pictures are so lovely! I love the one of the wilting flower with the fairy dancing on it. It looks like they are both twirling. When can I see you again? I have your book that I would like to give back- so remind me when we do see eachother.
