Fortune favours


Gypsy Rose sees everything in the leaves. She listens to the changes of the seasons and hears the whispers of secrets that travel on moonbeams.

In the light of a dancing fire she'll predict your future, but are you sure you want to hear?

Gypsy Rose is herself a reincarnation. Shadows of her former self remain as layers beneath her piercing gaze.

Be wary of falling under her spell!

Gypsy Rose will be at Paint Party Friday in a few hours. She sits in her tent waiting to share her stories. It's up to you if you believe...

Rose is a mixed media painting and collage. She is indeed a lady of layers with the ghost of an older painting underneath too. She has much to tell - providing you grace her palm with silver first.

Would you like Gypsy Rose to share her stories with you?

"Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere."

  5. You know what? I always was curious and wanted to know about the future but recently I had a "knowing" that someone close to me would die and it freaked me out. Literally I had a knot in my stomach and a little panic attack when this person was late or something like that for like a month. I was like, a-a, I do not want to know scary shit like that.:) Luckily it didn't come true but it taught me a lesson for sure. :)) I like your gipsy Rose. I'm sure she only tells the good kind of future. :)

  6. She's wonderful - look at those eyes - they look like they can see into your soul!! I have a couple of things I'd like to know the outcome to right now but I'd be scared the answer she gave wouldn't be what I want to hear so I'll leave it up to the cosmos to bring me what I need (want!) She is awesome though!

  7. She's certainly mysterious, and has powerful all-seeing eyes, but I think I'll leave the future to sort itself out. Lovely painting, and as always I love the layers and depth.

  8. Those eyes of hers are pretty intense! Maybe I don't want her telling my fortune! And- funny to think of all the times I wish I knew what was going to happen in the future and then some of the times when I realize knowing it isn't going to change anything I would do....so why know? Oh, the proverbial question- if you could change your fate- would you? (That's a quote from the Disney movie Brave.
