GROW YOUR BLOG EVENT and giveaway

Welcome to Her Grace by Devata.

My name is Hettienne and I live in
Cape Town, South Africa.

 I write this blog primarily to showcase

my handiwork, some of which is sold

in my Etsy shop or in my online shop.
Both the blog and the shop is
'a dream come true' for me.

In blogging world I have met some amazing,
warm, funny and incredibly inspiring people.
From feeling like an outsider looking into
a world that I do not understand, I
connected with an entire community
that sees the world with similar eyes to mine!

I call my art 'Sacred Art'.
The vision of all my creations is to highlight
the sacred in the ordinary :
to see the wonderful myths that are alive
in our stories;
to encourage myself and others to tell the stories
that keep our vision alive
and to focus on the metaphor and symbol
which is hidden in our world!

I also share my love of dolls of all kind,

especially

my handmade dolls

my love of creating shadowboxes - each

one a unique and miniature vignette of everyday

life

Keeper of the Keys

my love of the Divine Feminine,

especially in her embodiment as Mary

my love for making shrines, dedicated to

the inner spiritual life and all its symbolism,

much wider than religion

The Shrine of the Lost Inner Child

Archangel Michael Shrine

my love for showing the sacred in our ordinary lives

Follow your Muse

and most of all,

I love to travel to interesting and mystical places

and I love to share those stories on

Cloister of the Heart

and here on Her Grace I like to showcase

my shadowboxes which capture the essence of my travels

The Roma festival (Gypsy) of St Sara la Kali in Saintes-Maries de la Mer, France

I am very excited to participate in the Grow Your Blog event.

A great opportunity to find new blogs,

new followers

and a few give-aways.
I am looking forward to finding new
inspirational blogs!

As part of the fun, I have entered my other blog as well -

please go over and visit

Cloister of the Heart

where I am also offering a give-away!

I am offering one of the Shards of Beauty
from my Etsy shop as a giveaway there

I am giving away a packet of

Mary Blessing Seeds.

I make these by hand and distribute

them to those who want to offer healing

or prayers or good thoughts or

blessings or joy

to others or the earth or just put them

in their gardens!!

These beautiful handmade blessing seeds are packaged with blessed salts, sprinkled with sacred waters from Lourdes and dried rose petals which were touched to the St Teresa roses, carefully wrapped in tissue paper in a voile bag. An image of Mary with the above information will accompany your Blessing Seeds.

Bless the earth with these blessing seeds : infuse them with your prayers for healing and plant them where you pray.
