What do you do if you can't afford a real mushroom stone - you create your own.
Work in progress.. come back soon to see the completed creation soon - with some instruction for those interested in attempting their own stone.

Medicine in a jar!

Here we go again Canada.. while researching and checking out legality of psilocybin mushrooms -it's the same as cannabis WAS..  you can purchase all the items needed to grow "magic Mushrooms"  You can grow it - but that's it from then on it becomes illegal. Illegal for a substance never documented  responsible for a death & well documented for helping with additions like Alcohol &  smoking.  It's also been said it helps with depression (yes, I concur) and PTSD.. yes, I concur.  

Upset this is NOT already an option for out mentally struggling - before the option to decide for legal assisted susicide- something is really wrong with our state of mind that we allow this to happen. WE do- because we have been brainwashed to & lie to  again, still.
Not only that - unless you look it's hard to find information- that is changing! 
We have been tot he city & they have classes on growing you down psilocybin mushrooms! 
There  are several organizations now working tirelessly to educate the masses from Scientist  to doctors, patients, teachers - all because they believe  this medicine will EASE a great deal of suffering.  

It's all about money again & it is not right because it's the consumer who they expect to PAY in every way.  I'll be closely watching.  If others can go out, promote, encourage & teach the least I can do is admit to you my own experiences, if you have been following you will already know I let the mushrooms decide when I need to take them - that can be a coupe days in a row - and then again not for several weeks or even months.  I do not feel anything other than- more at peace - is how I think to describe it, loving, caring - at ease with all that is.  I also notice a decrease in twitching, I think because my entire body feels calmer. I would not recommend them recreationally - I just wouldn't...  I do not think they would become a problem recreationally, nor do I feel cannabis would be a problem for many.   For me not to open & honest - would only be contributing to the confusion &  ignorance, I refuse to be a part of the problem.

Prove me wrong do your research then go get some jars! I've not tried but I have several friends now tell me there's nothing it to! Know your shrooms! After being a part of the Mycological society  I would always advise - NEVER consume any mushroom you find in the wild UNLESS you are positive it is not harmful - even if it is growing out of cow poop.

2019.. I've got plans!

New little black book!  I'm more excited about this little black book than the one I carried in HIGH school, this one will be filled with all sorts of subjects & I'll time-lapse for any who want mini gouache lessons (shared on Instagram - Georgia.Toons) & hopefully someone will want to purchase it when complete & I'll donate the money to the local food bank or humane society, that's along way off still - a whole year but that's the plan... I've got plans for 2019.   How about you?

I've been reading about Alcohol problems, one article states we might be the new Russia- how sad is that Canada? We all know the  association with Alcohol & Russians - the 'facts' we don't realize, the struggles they have and the death & destruction because of BOOZE - yes, direct correlation to alcohol. If you want to watch something interesting & entertaining watch Prohibition on Netflix, a 3 part series- -wow,  they where wild in the 20's. Prohibition FAILS with Alcohol & with Cannabis- with all drugs.  It's always been women & children who suffer the most because of alcohol abuse...
How many Children are effected NOW/still by the same situation and have no control & no where to go? How many  will grow up to be alcoholics because they see it as the 'norm'?  How many will turn to stronger substances because alcohol isn't enough for them anymore.. lot's - History proves it. 
​Cheers. 

I will celebrate this 2019 by not getting drunk, perhaps a glass of champagne.. perhaps not. I don't need, I don't wish to encourage it.. I know the pain it causes.  
I won't have a hangover  ;) that I know for sure.
I will consume cannabis - smoke it &  inhale,  edibles will be consumed & I won't experience a hangover. 

2019 is going to the the year for growth.. as a country & personally.  
I keep getting the message from the Lord himself in one way or another -  ;)
I brought you to "it" I'm going to bring you through it'.. and I must say - my confidence is at an all time high.  

Looking forward to 2019 when the Sun,  the  Moon & the Truth will all SHINE.
People are already realizing the negative lies & hype behind cannabis after only a few months of legalization, thank God.

Our on Forays I've noticed a few things besides the mushrooms, birds & chipmunks - trash.
TRASH - Garbage left by trashy people with no respect of our 'living' room called earth.
Seriously people - what's the problem?
You can't carry that empty coffee cup any further?
That empty pop bottle too heavy to tote now that you consumed the content? 
Worse - every time I've gone on a foray chances are I stumble across  a condom. WTF?  
You are a dirty PIG if you fuck in the woods and leave your condoms there for others to find and nature to insult. 

What the fuck are you doing fucking in the woods in a public parks in the first place?!
This is not acceptable behaviour- there are rooms, hotels - we don't need to find your trace in OUR PUBLIC space - show some respect for others & yourself.

There is nothing nastier than finding a beautiful edible chanterelle - with a used condom beside it.  Following this grossness is cigarette butts!  Talk about ignorance and carelessness  and again I find myself wondering why? Why be out here in the wood surrounded by everything natural & beautiful - peaceful - if you're the type of person to throw your cigarettes  on the forest floor - you don't deserve to be there. 

Many occasions I wear rubbers myself - the GLOVE kind -  & pick up others trash, while I wait for mushroom identification to occur.  It's easy to get a garbage bag full in most cases.  I recently discovered a woman who lives locally on IG - she calls herself The Ditch Bitch- and she cleans up others trash- in my neighbourhood!  I decided to thank her with a little original (below)... and it inspired my gnome.  
Make a difference.. pick up trash - better yet- DON'T drop it in the first place.

A keep your fucking condoms on your weiner until you get into your own car or home thanks -  for all those who do leave 'parts of themselves' in the forrest, your trashy treasures left for us to discover: 
​May a tick find and bite you where it counts.

Mushroom Calendar

8/6/2018

0 Comments

 
For a few reasons, I've decided not to print my  'magnificent mushroom', calendar  at this time - sorry to anyone who might have been interested in a copy.
I have other priorities right now more important I have to focus on.

It was a personal challenge I thoroughly enjoyed & I would encourage any artist to do the same.   I am very pleased with the results. 

I have something  to look forward to...
I  already have a lovely calendar for 2019 - Perhaps it will be great year.
Have a look below.. I might re-share it the 'first of every month in 2019.

All the mushrooms you see painted are real mushrooms, Magnificent in shape, size & colors!  Each mushroom I've actually seen as well alive in the woods during one foray or another - one of my favourites is 'Bleeding Tooth- February' - if you see it  'alive' you will be fascinated!   It was quite the education studying each one and learning about them..  October is also a prelude under a night sky - I'm going to make a 'Edible Mushroom'  calendar and for 202o  & finish with a 'Medicinal Mushroom' Calendar for 2021  because by then - Mushrooms will be available medicinally, I believe California will be the first, then Canada.

I read this interesting article on Rosanne Barr.. worth sharing.  
I somewhat agree with the article.

Deadly Mushrooms

5/6/2018

Every year people get sick, some even die  eating wild mushrooms. Misidentify a mushroom and you might end up in Emerg. or worse. This is not fear mongering- it's fact.. children & pets included - dogs occasionally eat mushrooms - not my gils - ***I highly recommend as soon as you see your puppy/dog sniffing a wild mushroom -  !Smack that butt with a firm "NO!"   I don't claim to be dog expert but I've learned a few things that work - I've learned them because I lost a dog to a pill overdose & I never want anyone else to experience that.   My girls don't eat anything  even if I throw them something - they let it drop & sniff.  
Ha Ha - drop & sniff..    That is easy to teach your dog, occasionally  when throwing them 'treats' sneak in a chunk of lemon.  It won't hurt your dog but it will teach them to not just eat everything. 

 Destryoing Angel  is common, I've seen it nearly every foray I've gone on..  they resemble white button mushrooms when smaller -- easy to be tempted if a mushroom fan' being a 'mushroom fan' is not good enough. IF you are going to eat white mushrooms BE AN EXPERT.  Some poisonous mushrooms  also grow close to 'cousins' not poisonous - making it all the more confusing. 

Over the years from what I've heard, discussed and researched I no longer eat ANY mushrooms RAW  & I recently have decided to stop eating portobello due to what I've been reading &  Paul Stamets opinion,  I think he knows his stuff...  I am grateful for his honesty.  

KNOW your mushrooms- KNOW what you put into your body & educate your children.. I'm not sure I would teach a small child to eat any mushrooms they 'find' - I'd teach them to NOT  eat any UNTIL positive... I guess too, it depends on the kids - I've seen few mini mycologists at the forays who have no issues KNOWING which mushrooms are good & bad - either way  education is required.
One of the best ways is to join the Mycological society of Toronto & go on Forays!  
Stay safe in nature- & when you DO learn whats' edible- you are in for a treat.
Many IMO- tastier than MEAT really, shiitake are on the lunch menu today.
Save a life eat a mushroom ;)   More on Mushrooms soon.
Remember All mushrooms are edible... once.

We are all connected - Georgia Toons postcard collection grows.
My new postcards were dropped off and I'm thrilled with them - I've already mailed a few around the world! Hee hee  -to a select friends whom I do feel connected to. Did you get one?  The timing perfect - it's going to be a lovely weekend with temperatures into the +15 - +19 (Monday) and with the weather arrives MUSHROOMS!  LOVELY little fungi which nourish our minds & souls  & NOW these beautiful postcards to share the good connections with all we know.

                These postcards would also make lovely foray or dinner  invites.
                                   Thank you cards for fungi loving friends.
          It makes a handy Bookmark too- you can write on the back.  I'm using one now. 
         It looks lovely on a shelf perhaps by your mushroom cook book collection.
                        Suitable for framing. It can be used as a simple teaching tool.

                 WE are all connected- you just don't see our 'roots'.. our  mycelium.
                   We are all different - all useful - all beautiful - all here to TEACH.
We are all connected - with the internet NOW - we can make friends all around the world! How awesome is that? OmGosh - todays giggle was when I heard FB DID admit to not READING terms & conditions on an ap. they were using... they just clicked 'agree. 

I feel it - We are all connected, It's something repeated on Gaia, ACIM, The power of NOW, Be here NOW, the holy Bible & many more educating opportunities, which is addressed constantly - don't dismiss 'feelings' - I feel connected to Caves in France!  Just typing gets me excited- do you feel it? Ask! BELIEVE! Receive - Amen. How cool to imagine going to France - I'll mushroom hunt while there too.  I feel it getting closer every day! I 'feel' people....   most of them  feel pretty darn good. 

Poppy est si excitée, elle peut difficilement se contenir - son amour du fromage, du bon vin, de la gastronomie et de l'exploration des cavernes - après tout elle a visité le Getty en Californie - elle a une nouvelle veste créée pour notre aventure en France - Oui Oui!  Ha haha Peut-être trouverai-je ce bel homme aux cheveux blancs qui continue d'apparaître dans mes rêves éveillés ... oui, oui.

This is my first mushroom art card - and possibly my only  mushroom card - I was asked for this to be made into print several times so here it is... only better because it's a CARD!
      NOW - You can send some snail mail and make someones day! Trust me - I know.
There are countless mushroom fans out there and many knowledgable ones at that- all those who remain breathing for one... thank Goodness!  Because 'one thing we all tend to agree on:   IF you are NOT positive.. do not eat it.  

These cards I purposely left blank- they can be used for ANY & every occasion:

                          -
Having a dinner party? A mushroom meal? Here is the mush have invite!
               -Perfect for your foray hunting friends searching the forrest for munchies or
​                       arrange a foray yourself - use these to invite your guests!
                                          -Or thank them for letting you tag along.
                        -A birthday card for a Foray Director- perhaps (hee hee hee)
          -  I'm sending one as a 'thank you' card for some dried mushrooms I was given!
​Pop it in a frame from the dollar store (seen below)  and for ONLY $6. (cost of card & frame & tax) you have a great little piece of art for your kitchen or a lovely little gift for a friend.


​It's a cute quirky reminder for all mushroom/fungi fanatics  -as well as helpful to educate those not aware Mushrooms can easily KILL.  

          Want to see what to do after you get it? Frame it!! Hang it in your kitchen!
It can be framed & would look adorable in any kitchen.  Designed  standard size for any frame from the dollar store.  Each card size is 5 x 7 and comes with a white envelope.
*NOW - IF I have time & you are ordering a card for yourself - from me.. (let me know) I'll probably paint on the envelope too- cause I  can't resist!!  lol

​Do you sell mushroom ware at a fare, anywhere...? Would you care to buy bulk give these mushroom cards a try?  Send me a message for  pricing. 

I shared my cards on Instagram & Facebook- and will give 3 away on each- you simply h
ave to comment  & I'll choose later. Thanks to all showing interest.

You can purchase my cards here  along with a few other items including some originals I sell from time to time. :  Georgia Toons Gifts​

New items will be added as they are created! Be sure to check the Georgia Toons Gifts
page to  be the first to know what's available NOW.

*Next- why cannabis pot business shops near schools is FEAR mongering- and I'll prove it - are you in Keswick? Wait till you see this little discovery... AFTER I address it with letter to our editor of the local paper. With PHOTO proof.  Education is the KEY.

Thinking about the future.

April 2nd and today I'm thinking ahead- June as a matter of fact.
In my search to own the perfect mushroom calendar (and not finding one) I have created one! 2019 will be a year for Magnificent Mushrooms!  
As you are aware - I love mushrooms  - eat, medicate and research!
& I happen to 'love' the current Foray Director of the MST .. hee hee hee  
It was when we started to attend Forays began my Amour Adventure'  (practicing for France) with fungi seeing the living bodies - all different, colorful, alien in appearance, frightening when understand a tiny nibble of one type can kill you  yet the thought of the enoki in my fridge frying has me drooling..  I flip through my sons magazines and books and   easily become fascinated - Have you seen Blood Tooth Fungi?  I can guarantee you if walking in the woods and you spied it out of the corner of your eye- you would walk over and bend down and think "Is that alive? Is that dead?  Is that Blood? Is it alien!?"  lol
If you had no clue that it was just  one of the countless captivating samples of mushroom strangeness' out there, that is.

Then I realized... I Love painting mushroom (almost as much as cannanbis) and just LOOKING at them, to paint you have to study - the more I study the more I want to see - taaaaadaaaaa  my calendar is being created.  :)  I have shown very few, but it is a definite hit!  Each illustration has taken me 2 days for not very large originals.  First, I  choose the month (face down) the mushroom found me...   : )   Set up each page and I really weighed IF I should use 'type font or paint the actually Month and numbers - Freehand was the final decision.. 

None of us is perfect - yet each one was created perfect in Gods  Endless Universe!
My numbers are  perfect -  as they are only enhanced by the nature of their surroundings.


:) Thank you, Fungi Friends.
I woke today and could not wait to sit here.. after bird duty *please WELCOME back some of our Feathered Friends!  I have chosen the name for the calendar-  presented when complete... still a few steps, printing, packaging  & off they go.  200.
One on my wall in my office, Storm has asked ordered one - 199, 198, 197...

If you are interested- I highly recommend you stay tooned, I'm working and several different projects and will share them here when ready.
I can't wait to finish JUNE! Storm took one look this a.m. and went:  
"Whhaaaaattt?! Your adding one of them? Wow...." 
:) I love the Foray Director.  hee hee hee

BYT- I cheated with decorating the cake (below) - much my amusement it made everyone laugh and He really looked  cute.  The message he was sending was  "I love you, This Much!"
Is there any other message needed?

Happy Easter Monday, just thinking about Jesus calms my  heart & mind.
He restores my soul.

Come on! Take a Guess! 
Some mushrooms are just too exciting (&fun) not to paint an image for!!

This was was too easy..
I imagined my friend Kathy getting ready to reach down at one of the Forays.
Whistle alert!!

1 blow: I'm here!
2 blows: Come SEE!
3 Blows: Help.

This is a real mushroom, go and watch the video of it opening, it's incredible.
I don't know what I'd think If I saw this claw reaching out for me.
