Mixed Media

I have created an altered art doll for a mixed media exchange.
My creation is on her way to Wales. This piece was part of the process.

Loved having the design challenge and getting taken on a journey of discovery.

Sweet

This sweet summer autumn we've been blessed with is ending.
Lucky me I found a kitten and can spend the winter getting to know her.
Her name is Sadie Faith ♥

My Latest Love

Beeswax, damar resin, fire, copper and recycled wood. So in love with these elements and the ability to build layers of depth and dimension.

I am enchanted by doorways and vintage text...........

In love with this Gothic Window shape and playing with copper mesh.......

Fierce Grace

I love, love playing with images and adding texture, shifting the light and changing the tones! So look forward to one day having wide open days to explore and create. My love bug is leaving for Mexico soon and I am so proud of her and pleased that she has this opportunity! It is dark, cold an drizzly today and I wish I was curled up by the wood stove, basking in it's warmth.

Design

Color, shape, texture, dark and light, shadow and illumination, shape defines everything.
Refracting light, design, color and shape all illuminating and highlighting shadow.
Grace in the intricate design, highlighted shadows and layered texture.

Wise Presence

“Ultimately, the real you is beyond words. Call it intuition. Call it universal consciousness. Call it life. Call it awareness. Call it God or Being or your Buddha nature. Whatever you call it, this infinitely wise presence waits patiently and peacefully in the recesses of your heart, trying to get through to you. It has always been there, always will be there, shining like a beacon beneath all the social masks, all the musts and shoulds, all the have-to’s and not-good-enoughs that have kept you from knowing it. The real you is the part of you that speaks in your dreams, wakes you up in the middle of the night with a new idea, nudges you gently in a new direction, and sometimes screams at you when you’re about to do something stupid. It is a fountain of truth, the source of anything you could ever want to know. All the wisdom of past, present, and future is contained in the real you.”
