MY NEW WEBSITE!

Dear ones, please visit my new website and click on ART gallery and you will see my newest fiber work( extensive pics) at " FIBERS OF GRACE!" I do have a short page on it in the website itself with my new price list but am thinking of revamping it to make it easier.
Please leave a comment in my guest book and be inspired!

SILK SPUN & PLIED WITH WOOL

You can see the finished silk plied with Dorset wool on the right. I nestled in the cocoon on the finished wool. I need to spin up more, not sure what this will become, and have to dye it too. I like the texture of the completed yarn! On the left is the raw dorset and wool. This is the first yarn i have created in 13 years, How do you like it?

HAND SPINNING SILK FIBER

I thought you might like to see some close ups of spinning silk by hand! I can't believe I can spin anything this thin! I never believed when others said that Hand Spindles are like potato chips, you can't just have one! I have now made 4, and given away 2 of those. Will post pics of them soon! This one you see was purchased on Ebay.

I AM SPINNING SILK!

Dear ones, I have now moved from just painting on silk to creating the actual silk thread! Here you can see the cocoon way on the right, on the left top is an opened cocoon called a Mawata of Bombyx Silk. You can see how i have drafted out the roving on the bottom left proceeding to the lovely hand spindle. The silk on the straw is thread i have already spun up! I won't be weaving silk scarves but I am enjoying this a lot, it helps to manage pain to concentrate.

GLORY DUST~ A SIGN AND WONDER!

PICTURE IS BELOW...PRAISE TO GOD!! This is as best a photo i could get of Glory dust! I took it about 2 in the morning a few weeks ago on a Sat night. The Lord has been giving me many types of it. This one is green, pink, gold. He is amazing, and puts it even BETWEEN PAGES of books! I could not think of a way to gather it except to put it on a post it note, which my pastor has now. I now get glory dust from the Lord that i find in the dustiest dirtiest places. I believe the Lord may be saying that HIS GLORY WILL SHINE, IN THE DARKEST PLACES. I believe we are moving to a time when even if persecution should come, God will keep us. There is another type of Glory dust too, one that actually become PART of whatever it is on. Remember, the KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN US!! One time it was part of the cover on our hot tub, it actually was in between the molecules of the cover. You could NOT rub it off. I fell and wept and worshipped the Lord for HIS amazing Glory. You shall see more signs and wonders, for HE is GREAT! I so wish this were clearer but i was holding it in my hand and photographing with the other hand.

SHALOM , MY SHABBAT TABLE

Dear Ones, I wanted you to see the lovely bottle that the Divine Destiny anointing oil is kept in. The pansies were a surprise from the Lord, for I do not have a green thumb at all! I LOVE purple pansies. The box is a bessamin box full of cinnamon that is used for the closing of shabbat.
I love the grapes, remember to abide in HIM.

A NEW SILK From MAY 2006

The Lord is having me do some new things with my silks. This one has been painted also with Gold. It is one of the newer techniques He taught me.
I taught a demo on silk painting, but ended up in bed for quite a bit afterward due to exhaustion. I then gave this silk to another artist, who gave me a wonderful mixed media watercolor of a bunch of Grapes. God is teaching me a lot in John 15 about abiding in the vine. I MUST LEARN HOW TO REST and ABIDE.

SEE MY OTHER ARTWORK ON FLICKR!

DEAR ONES, I HAVE SO MUCH TO POST, BUT HAVE BEEN ILL. PLEASE VIEW MY OTHER SITE AT FLICKR, click this title. And here are some newer silk Ribbons to view!
I create every silk, whether it is a scarf or a ribbon, one at a time, in prayer for the Person it is for. I am on a rest sabbatical now to get well and inquire of the Lord. He is teaching me to rest, and to hear HIM in a NEW WAY. I have been experiencing all types of glory dust! The Lord is good to me, I am trying hard to take this year, from april 2006 -7 to go deeper with the Lord. My new website needs to be finished, lots of work there, but when up it will be www.halalsilks.com, just as you see on these cards.

I just LOVE Tag Art and I made this for my daughter.

I created this tag for my daughter Sarah just because I love her. It features the " girl with the pearl earring" and she loves that movie and book. I used the silks as fibers. I do have a tag group on Yahoo, Please visit it! Gracehalalartswap

LOTS of Silk Ribbons, I made 2100 in a few weeks time.! They will be featured in 3 different Art Zines with a readership from around the World. Gleaner Issue 15, Eccentric Pastiche ( Van Gogh) and Beau Ideal Arts 4.

My price per yard ranges from $3.50 - $5.50 per yard depending on width of ribbon and if there are unfinished or finished edges , 90% of my ribbons have unfinished edges , you can see from this pic that they do not unravel but are very strong. So strong that Eccentric Pastiche zine was sewn with them! That was a thick issue too!
Only the Lord could give me such favor. PRAISE BE To YESHUA!!

My dear friend and sister in the Lord, Lynne, She helped me cut and count 500 silk Ribbons and I thanked her with this silk scarf. It is the "RIVER" . She had seen a vision of the River Flowing ( of God) and it had all these amazing colors. I just prayed and she said it was just like she saw it. The 8 x 54" is my standard size for silk scarves, unless it is a special order.

Anne Downen made this from my silk ribbons, This is an ATC. Artist Trading Card. They are never bought or sold, only traded and are miniature works of art , the average size is that of a baseball card 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 " See how the silks just add so much to this. I love the image she used!

"God's Rod Set In Place" by Grace Brunelle,
I was trying to draw a rod, but a thumb came out instead. I believe It is the Thumb of God.
My vision,in July,22, 2005 happened when Pastor Donald Kretzer prayed over me, to receive HIS OWN anointing to Blow the Shofar and to pray for others to also be anointed to Blow Shofar. He spoke over me that I was a " Moses" I then saw this instantly as I fell into the Spirit of God. I did not know that praying over me, as I lay out in the spirit was Will Ford and a minister from Puerto Rico who was in revival there. I had 2 more visions, I have not drawn them yet.
Later on, the next day, I was totally surprised when Pastor Don handed me a precious Yemenite Shofar as a gift. I found out a few days later that He and His wife, Barbara adopted me as their spiritual daughter. What an awesome honor!!
On Sunday, Oct 9, 2005 I was blessed to be able to hand a photo of this drawing to Chuck Pierce. ( www.glory-of-zion.org ) He was moved by it, and it totally surprised me that it is similar to the Samekh Vav, the year 5766 in Hebrew Calendar that He showed us on screen during His teaching . That image is of a spinning, whirlwind, a windy circle with a Tent Peg or Rod piercing the center. He spoke of this Sunday evening, months after i drew it!!


Isn't the Lord awesome! Praise Him!

43."Moving Towards a New Anointing" Silk Scarf

"MOVING TOWARDS A NEW ANOINTING" Silk Scarf , if you look closely you can see how it moves from a darker to lightter and brighter area. The center makes a sort of "Jacob's Ladder" effect to represent a climbing higher to recieve the Heavenly anointing of God, returning back to earth to pass it on. The lady who got this was very excited, saying it was just what she needed.

42. "IT'S TIME FOR YOUR INHERITANCE" Silk Scarf

"IT'S TIME TO RECIEVE YOUR INHERITANCE" Silk Scarf. It was very cool because when i made this, i saw my friend Deb's face as I folded it. I knew it was for her. At the event i wanted to bless her as a protocol for more blessings to come to all, and told her to pick out any on the table because I did not want to influence her on which one to choose. Well, she happened to be WEARING a new shirt & it matched THIS! And she needed to receive her Divine Inheritance! So Deb owns this, you can see in the middle it forms the arch of an amazing rainbow, bright with promise, covenant Hope.

39. "Divine Justice" Silk Scarf

DIVINE JUSTICE SCARF in Purples/ Blues. I pray over every scarf as it is created, from the start, God shows me how to fold, paint, dye, and when it is rinsed and ironed, He names it. The purple is Authority, and Kingly Royalty, The Blues, are the Heavenlies.
copyrighted Grace Brunelle 2005

38. " UNITY FLAME" Dance Scarves

UNITY FLAME DANCE SCARF made for the Emblazoned hearts dance team that blessed us in our "Restoring Creativity and Arts to Worship " Event. I made 6 because they are going to grow! Yet, each one is slightly different. They blessed us enormously, They dance with the Anointing of HIS power and authority.

God gave me the colors in a vision a few months ago. Yellow for joy, Pink for healing of the Bride's Wounds and Orange for the Holy Spirit.
copyrighted Grace Brunelle 2005

37. "Son of Righteousness Arises" Silk Scarf

The "SON OF RIGHTEOUSNESS ARISES " Silk Scarf. The Purple is for the Authority of God,but the shade is more fuschia meaning Passion. The greens are actually a bit more yellow, so I believe this scarf is for healing. God always gives me the name of the scarf when I rinse and iron it. It just "comes!"

36. God's Hands Sculpture with "Breaking Fallow Ground Silk"

God's Hands Sculpture by Robert W. Brunelle, Jr, ( my dh!) I created the silks around the hands from Dyed Silk Gauze.

An interesting story. I used water from our church, we actually took the water home 12 miles away to use. Our church has a historical fact, that in the late 1700's - 1800's shepherds from NH and VT and upstate NY would take the sheep to the Lamoille River behind our church to "SOAK" the sheep. Something in the water made the sheeps wool very white and more valuable. We actually now have a SELAH soaking GARDEN upstairs in our church where we all "SOAK " in HIS presence.

The minerals in the water are such that it changed the dyes i used, I was trying to create a rainbow, But the colors changed to these, it looked like ground pulled up and tossed into water and green life. As I rinsed the silks, the Lord spoke to my heart, " I am plowing up Fallow Ground". So that is what i call the green silk gauze. It has sort of an "army" feel to it too! I think God has much to say to us in this!

30. HOUSE of the LORD Scarf

HOUSE of the LORD Scarf made for someone, the Verse is Psalm 27 : 4 When you wear it, the yellow forms a corner, or foundation, and points either up as if you are on a pinnacle or down in and INSIDE for a secure feeling, as if you are actually Inside His Temple. I never made a scarf like this before, and what is amazing is that i used NO red or pink anywhere, in the dyes, and this spot appeared, like the blood of Jesus!

28. HEALING WATERS SCARF

"HEALING WATERS" This scarf came about in a surprising way! I was mixing the chemical solution before adding the Procion Mx dye. I put a teaspoon of "chemical" into each jar of water, as i prepared the dyes but it was not the "chemical" i thought i was using! When i saw what was in my hands, I realized I used PURE REFINED SEA SALT! I figured the Lord had a purpose for me doing this so I kept on going, using the Soda Ash, Softener, Urea, then each Pure dye. ( He has really been having me use PURE colors lately.) I believe the salt affected my colors of Turquoise and Blues becaue I ended up with more Green in the center! To me this looks like a churning river. I happened to be listening to Michelle Tumes singing "Healing Waters" as I was mixing the dyes and then when i ironed it dry i could see it looked like many Waters, so I named this "Healing Waters!"
copyrighted Grace Brunelle 2005

27. DIVINE REST SCARF

"DIVINE REST" I let this set in the dyes quite a while and the colors merged into a beautiful Pattern.I really love the way the Pattern emerged with swirls in it. The Plum stands for Passion and Right relationship and the Blues stand for Spiritual Revelation.I feel the swirls are like the "Shekinah Glory" of God. The Reason it is called Divine Rest, is that in the Book of Hebrews, it says "there is a REST for the people of God. So Jesus, in HIS passion for us CALLS US into a place of Quiet Intimacy. But we can not even get near HIM without recognizing that HE did it all. There is no room for our own merits. When we quiet ourselves it is His joy to l share with us the Depths of His Mysteries. It is because of His vast Love that we in turn, respond to HIM in Love and Trust.

26. "HONEY FIRE" ANOINTING FLAGS

HONEY FIRE FLAGS, The Lord awakened me at 4 am and told me step by step how to make these. The tips are dipped in honey colored dye. I have never made a type of flag or dyes like this before. All were to be PURE colors, NO mixtures! They symbolize the melting of manmade divisions between members of the body of Christ, as the FIRE of God, in Love melts any walls.The HONEY of the Holy Spirit , the anointing of God pours like a river out of the "waxed cold" walls of division. Wax can not stand heat. This image of fire and melting wax pouring a river of honey came to me in a "picture" vision during prayer with others a few months ago. I pondered long on how to create the colors i saw. Then the Lord in His kindness literally showed me step by step how to achieve this! There is a sermon here,, will post at a later date! Suffice to say that the tips of the flag "rested" in a honey colored dye. In Scripture we are told that in the end times, "the Love of many will WAX COLD". We must push thru our busyness and come aside to rest and Let HIM infuse us with Divine love.
