Bijou near the Window

Bijou near the window (approx. 6 weeks).
He loved to lie down and curl up in this container
on the window sill.
Done on 2.5 x 3.5 ACEO in acrylics.

Little flowers embellishments outside the window.

Another Sweet Whimsical Angel!

I haven't found names yet for my Angel Collages; but do enjoy creating them.
This is approx. 9" x 11 1/2 ". Created the collage, embellished, fused beeswax,
and crackle on collage and edges.
The collage was glued on blue cardstock, and used 7 mm double side tape
on the borders, and embossed with gorgeous Zing embossing powder.
Check out the little dragonfly on the window, and tiny black eyes :-)
I use a lattice handmade paper glued on blued cardstock for the back, which is
glued on black mat.(Can't see the black mat because it's covered)
Hangs with beautiful translucent sky blue ribbon  (approx.16 1/2 " in length)
Prints available upon request.

What did I make this weekend

Done on Fabriano watercolor paper, a mat background, embossed borders, with light green japanese paper on the back, and gorgeous translucent gold ribbon this would be a beautiful art piece
in anyone's home.
Various papers to create the angel,butterfly wings, and dress were used.
Three little wooden button were also used
A crackling effect technique on body , and background were also used

First of Three Paintings Commission

I am working on three paintings presently for one person.
The theme is Three Sisters..I just finished the first one.
The first one I just finished was inspired by Raphael The Three Graces.
The Three Graces are the personification of grace and beauty.
In Raphaels The Three Graces all women have their hand on each other's shoulders, and I was immediately
inspired to create a mixed media work using that same idea , because the Three Sisters are very close to each other. It was a great challenge, and enjoyed creating this  artwork for Jenni.
Although Jenni and I know each other only thru helping each other out thru etsy, we don't know each other well; but after doing these three paintings I feel a closeness I can relate to,because we are also Three Sisters.

In the Three Sisters I created the customer wanted specific items held in their hands a sun, moon and star

 The second painting was inspired from a photo of my 2 sisters and myself. 

In this painting more so than the other two, I felt some sadness.Just

the way it turned out. By writing the three words Love Faith and Hope it enhanced

the love and closeness of the Three Sisters under trying situations

 

In the last painting The Three Sisters are under an arch. I was inspired by different artists.

I used a crackling technique

to make the building look old.This painting also depicts the closeness with The Three Sisters.

Mother's Day Poem

Wishing everyone a wonderful Happy Mother's Day!
This is a little poem I wrote.
I'm  very close to my mom

Mother's Day Poem by Mariette Hebert

A mother is there for all your needs
She is very special indeed!
Listening to your woes!
It is indeed very so!
I love her because she gave me life
Took care of me day and nite
I love my mother so
Like there's no tomorrow
She is one of a kind
And of course I don't mind
Because she is my mother
And there is no other to replace her

With love
Mariette

New Photos of Bijou my cat

Today was a beautiful sunny day in Vancouver.
I spend the day working on a Whimsical Wooden/Polymer clay doll, which you
can see in previous post.
Trying to finished 'unfinished projects'.
It's very satisfying when I do. Some of them laid away as if to say..c'mon get on
with it..me I'm next ..lol
I recently had a commission request for 3 paintings for one person.
Started the first one...

Here are a few pictures of Bijou I took today
He's sitting on top of his scratching post. It's
near the window , therefore , he gets a good view of the garden,and birds of course ;-)
