Sun,Moon,Healing Heart
Sometimes writers get writers block, and artists gets artist block lol. I've done that with several of my paintings, leave it on the easel, walk pass it..sometimes add a little something untill it all falls into place at that very special moment.
The Sun, and Moon represents male and feminine energy, while the heart symbolizes love and compassion for all beings.

Thanks everyone for playing, and keep your eyes peel for more contests in the future .
This is a paper clay art doll , and the limbs are attached to body with annealed black
wire.(moveable). She holds a little handcrafted clay art with word "love". All her body parts are in clay , except her little furry necklace, and rhinestone on her hat which were added for a little extra sweetness.
Her two tiny blue shoes have each a little rhinestone.
Found cylindrical objects with writing.They were painted and also crackled and glued ,
on the sides of a 3 " x 4" x 1 1/2 " wood panel, with a little wooden and semi precious stone on top.
I bought 3 of these panels at a recycling depot , and happy I did. They are perfect for small assemblages.
I love these little panels~

Custom Coloring Book
I have a pile of old folders , which has been sitting around for awhile.
My mom is in a senior home now, and she likes coloring.
My sister and I had been talking about xmas gifts, and she had initially suggested a coloring book for mom. Well this idea was brewing in my mind ..and yes, making her a home made coloring book, and using the folder as a cover.
It was an overnight project,and finished the cover this morning.
I initially gessoed the folders, and created layers upon layers until I was happy.
My mom loves happy things so I made a landscape with peace doves, stars and heart. The flowers were made with recycled cardboard. I did a lot of glazing to make the layers shine thru.
The inside was glued with beautiful paper, and I added a big piece of clear contact sheet (which is a plastic you lined your kitchen cupboard with) as an added protective layer for the paper.
Ribbons adorns the edges.
I found some coloring pages to d/l in google, and printed those on 80 lb paper, which was just perfect, and some which I thought my mom would love. I found 2 special one , which I put as the last page. It says "I love You Mom".. I wrote a french caption underneath each photo, as we are french, so it would connect more with her.
Here are some photos:
I didn't spend much for creating this artwork; but I feel very fullfilled with
the love I felt for my mom when creating it. It's also mostly all recycled objects, and that is
bonus. This,handmade,and love mix together makes a great 'melange' for artistic creativity;-)
Sometimes with little , it says so much, and the reward is so satisfying!

Whoo Whoo Whoo
My little owl fibre project
About 5" high.
Body created with leftover fleece (from a jacket I made for a friend), and cotton material was from remnants in a big barrel at a place called Maiwa here in Vancouver. http://www.maiwa.com/ . They carry some of the most beautiful fabric and yarn. A fav. place of mine. The eyes were made with felt.
All handstitched with random and blanket stitching.
