FANTAIL dress FOR SALE

FANTAIL DRESS from the NEW ZEALAND collection for sale to a NEW GUARDIAN.

Calling the one of you who resonates and who would like to become the next guardian to The Fantail Dress. Furthermore gaining the joy, appreciation and fulfilment from acquiring such an exquisite piece.

Would you like to be the new Guardian of the one of the key pivotal pieces from The New Zealand Collection? The Fantail dress also known as Piwakawaka here in New Zealand is full of fun, joy, flitting around from tree to tree with love, heart, full of life and enjoying each day. The Fantail Dress has been infused also with this kind of energy from its initial original conception after seeing and being followed by the Fantail flitting joyously in the trees surrounding Kahikatea Eco Village – now Albany campus of Wellpark College, while walking around enjoying the nature, the views, the land with a trusted friend one day during the time that I was there with my workshop studio.

The design, pattern making, original mock up and structure to the dress were conceived … click to read more… and to see the Video of the Fantail Dress...Piwakawaka: www.ybe.co.nz/ybe-events

Sculptural Fashion Art by Jenny Lyn Walker

Sculptural Fashion Art by Jenny Lyn Walker is the new way of being and doing. It gives you the ability to express that which you know innately, to wear that proud, clearly and so be in tune with yourself, your inner spirit, your story and what moves you, inspires you and how it all makes you feel. Feel high, fly, feel free, feel you, feel right, feel all, in the case of the Fantail…be like the essence of a Fantail fused with your essence to bring about a new version of connectedness and aliveness and Be YOU!

There are only one of each of these pieces, they are unique, one off, amazingly inspired and fully infused with love and brilliance, they are for those who resonate and understand the depth of love, beauty and brilliance in our world. I hope to meet the one of You who is the Fantail! I am looking forward to that and to sharing in the journey and forward flight of the Fantail!

YOUnique!

What is it that will represent you very well? Shall I make that for you? Let me know. It is what I love to do. I am passionate about helping people find themselves, to move forward in their lives and to bring about what it is that they desire… representation through clothes, with balance and expression are an important, integral and beneficial part of that.

YBe: Helping You with Balance and Expression!

Blessings to all. Have a think about what represents you, who you are and what you want to be or do or say with-in and with-out with the use of your clothes. Join me in the world of expression and I will make your garment for you to fit, suit and represent you to help you tell your story and to understand that this new generation and creation of appreciative clothing is yet another way that you are able to honour this world and be an integral part of it.

Recent commissioned garment: Grooms Outfit. Shirt with Family journey painted on representing the couple and extended family and story thus far.

Just as music feeds your soul and arrives at just the right time to aid you in telling your story or to express something held within, aiding you in releasing and letting go of or bringing in of anything needed in those moments, so too does your dress, your clothing, your expression through clothes.

Thank You YBe Tui Treat

It was a very special time at YBe Tui Treat in Waiatarua in the Waitakere ranges and I have very much enjoyed being enveloped in the surrounding beauty and brilliance that is there. A full picture of nature and what it holds and is… unfurling of fronds, birds flying, insects, animals, life surrounding, all the elements and weather changes and seasons being experienced and in a beautiful sanctuary and wonderful house, with our very own inner atrium space, which many have come to discover and enjoy with us there. YBe Tui Treat photo album www.ybe.co.nz/photo-gallery

We are now relocated and resetup, situated in Remuera… I am enjoying the new surroundings and looking forward to new experiences and blessings coming from new paths being continually forged. Welcome to visit the new premises anytime, with appointments made first please. Things move, change and carry on and the process allows new things to take shape.

Change and movement

Change is here and now. I am moving, we are moving, changing, the world is changing, I call on you to do your part and to enjoy that which we have been blessed with and to celebrate in the creation of all things and to honour that which we have, as well as being able to gain considerable energy, love and brilliance from the presence of such artworks /creations in your life.

Helping with the changes and movement we are all involved in for our world and moving forward with creation of a new and improved, revised, fun, joy filled world in which all things are loved, cherished and honoured for what they do and why they are here. With us, within us, around us, all connected and forming a greater whole. This union is a blessing and something we can all keep hold of and dream for the peace and serenity and wonderfulness that we can have around us as a heaven on earth. Yay let’s do it!!! Love is all that is needed. Love is here, love is now, love is real, love is truth.

Jackie Cats passing

Fare thee well my Bright Star. Thank you Jackie, forever my love! Friday 17th July at 9.27pm, Jackie passed away, unable to recover from an illness. Click on this pics link to facebook memorial gallery.

Jackie will always remain as strong in my heart as she ever has been. She was a true companion and we shared wonderful times together. She walked a hard road and it must have been time to go. I see her in the stars and continue to feel her presence and am honoured to have had such a special connection with such a special being. Love, light and compassion to Jackie, my beloved beautiful cat. I love her so. Thank you to everyone for your wonderful comments, condolences and thoughts for Jackie and myself. Your support has been wonderful and has aided my moving through the grieving process, and ability to keep moving forward. I feel we are both at peace with it now as much as is possible, though I do miss Jackie’s presence in my life. She has a beautiful soul and touched the lives of many as she travelled with me on many roads in the past 8 years. The memory of Jackie and her 3 legs, wonderful nature, kindness and loving presence will live on. Regards and Rest in Peace dear one.

Sharing

Thank you to all those of you who have shared in this life experience and also to whoever has shared from afar. I thank you all and am glad to have been able to receive you as part of the journey. Another level added to the stepping stones of life and its now on to the next stage from here. I love for you to continue to join me and see where to from here, how you can be involved and carry on sharing the road.

Lots of love, light and blessings to you all.

Keep in touch.

  • Jackie cats close call. The fight for Life and turnaround with Love.

Over the past week I have been in full take care mode of my cat Jackie. She quickly became very ill and stopped eating and drinking and being her cheerful happy self. I took her in to the vet knowing something was very wrong with her teeth and mouth. Infact she came out diagnosed with acute kidney/renal failure to my shock and disbelief. The dramatic rush from that point to keep her alive and back on track started. So a very intense few days it has been! I am happy to say at this point Jackie is doing really well and is eating again and drinking and has just been back to the vet for top up of antibiotics and other meds. I took her to Orewa on Saturday to get natural remedies and homeopathic drops and am continuing recuperative care for and with her. Oh my little Jackie girl. She really is a huge part of my life and the connection we share is like Mother -Daughter. Those who know me will also undoubtedly also know Jackie and know how much love we share. She is very special and very loved and has been a companion of mine for 8 years.

I wanted to say a few thank yous to all those who have helped me and Jackie through this journey and also to make recommendations for the places I took Jackie to for help getting her well. If you take any of your pets to these places please just mention the recommendation from me. They have each played an integral part in helping the situation and I thank them for the various parts different people have played. I have appreciation and gratitude for them all. See here for rest of the story, what actions I took, communication and love experienced, especially for those who have a beloved cat…Please see here for more of the story and recommendations of healers and practitioners.

I would love the support of you all for whatever income producing work you can give me such as garments or consultations or help you need from me in inspirational motivating, transformation and expression, being guided by intuition advice, style and Being You strategies and any of the other varied and many skills I have. I am keen to support myself, Jackie and my friends and family better and create a sustainable life and lifestyle. So to you in exchange I offer my gifts and skills and talent and expert knowledge and understanding for what it means to be dressing well, with confidence and dressed to enhance, embrace and celebrate the best of you. Thank you for sharing and being part of my journey and making me part of yours. So see you soon then. Yay Fun!

Loads of love and support,

Jenny Lyn Walker*

Internship available and Live and Work options too here at Tui Treat! I can teach you techniques, sewing and crafting skills while you participate in the making of garments for my NZ collection which is going into NZ Bridal Fashion week. This collection consists of Garments for the Bride and Groom of course as well as to outfit anybody attending a Wedding or Special event in their life. The pieces are NZ / Maori / Asia pacific based with an art, nature and culture inspiration and of a contemporary design spin merged with traditional techniques and elements. There is an underlying resonance to even Egyptian times and a variety of other cultures intertwined within the creations. Displayable as well as wearable these pieces take anywhere from 20 to 200 hours to construct as well as the journey taken to reach fruition, they in themselves contain a story and a history that can be expressed as well as linked in with the complete collection and also the story with connection to the eventual wearer or owner of the final work. Just as clothes express each era of time so too does this collection, it is representative of our time (zeitgeist) and holds vast memories and stories within its depths. If you would like to take part in this time marking collection please be certain to contact me. And furthermore pass on to anyone you think will be interested.

Inspirational writing by Jenny Lyn Walker

To me this is a year for Expansion and Self Empowerment, Potential, fulfillment, greatness And understanding the need to be, and then being Self Responsible.

This 2012 year I continue to endeavor to Guide and Inspire, Help and Love…to show it is necessary to keep going .. it is your/our way through this interesting pathway of life. I speak and listen to my inner voice with a full and open heart, sometimes I sing, sometimes I dance, sometimes I cry, tho I always know the deeper truth is that we are here to experience and in that the merging of human and divine selves and the greater connection to the creation of life.

I remind myself that Safety exists within me, in my calm centre. Here within me is the creation of the outer reality of which I experience… (I create the reality outside of me to experience)

Here is How all this ties in to me and what I do as my passion, career, journey for myself and for helping others: Life experiences shape who you are, I create clothes that fit your shape or are shaped to fit the expression of who you are, who you want to Be and in turn shape and create your experiences, and these experiences shape your life… cycle of Life and Fashion and You and Me.

My entire body of consciousness is here communicating…spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, and I am receiving the messages. This is who I am… I have been asking that question all my life… Who am I, Where do I fit in, What is my background, history, culture, place, importance in this world… Why Be? (Y Be?) Why exist? It is to find the self and connect to the divine presence within us all and hence be connected to each other and to God and eternal existence… the universe… the presence, the now. To persist with my purpose, dreams and desires.

Within that persistence to also have consistent Compassion for self… choose again if need be… choose freedom. Free yourself from any stifling chains…one day I will share the whole version of my YBe song! It has this previous sentence as one of its lines. So… trust all of you, me & all of life.

Make the loving choice to be here now…fully open to receive… What do you want to bring to yourself and others in 2012? What can I create for you to help with your evolution and experiences? 2012… the year that anything is possible!!!

Jenny Lyn Walker*

Ps: Hope day of love was wonderful for you all J share and continue the flow of love for self and others throughout this year… act only from love, only then will happiness ensue J

See you soon at YBe Tui Treat, Oratia Markets and for Yoga this Sunday!
