Abstract Piece is Done!


I finally finished this piece. I would be interested in knowing what it means to you. That is the cool thing about art, there is no right interpretation. If you read earlier what this piece means to me then your ideas about it are already tainted with mine. If not, tell me what you think about it. Even if you did read my intentions earlier, I would love to hear your thoughts on this. It is a 16"X20" Mixed Media piece. I used collage elements to help create the feel I was going for.

When I look at this piece I see a longing for the woman to pocess the bird or to take hold of what the bird represents.. the bird is only an arm length away yet the woman puts her hand behind her back and does not reach for it. She realizes that the bird is in another dimension of time... Leaves me with the question will she go after what she is seeking

I am going to comment right now then scroll down to see what you meant when you made it.

The woman is in a warm sunny place, she is contented and happy to show her vulnerability. But she has a deeper, darker side, the side of her soul that is rooted in the earth, but often takes flights of fantasy into the unknown nightime side of her imagination.

I found your blog via Valerie's group.

Paper Flowers and Fabric Flowers

Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.

Some Work Humor

Cows...A Poem by Richard Armous Cows Do nothing but browse And drowse And now and then moo. That's all they do. Yet even while grazing They aren't lazing. Even while snacking They aren't slacking. If not illustrious Thay are inner industrious, Making milk with all their might. With every bite. Cream too, With every chew. I'd like it fine Could I combine In such measure Business with pleasure . Happy Friday from the Funky Art Queen.

Found Object Jewelry

First of all I have to say a big thanks to all of you who commented about Cody's departure. I feel like printing all that out and sending it in Cody's first letter. He knows how I am about my blog friends. You are all precious to me and you don't know how much it helps to hear your comforting words. I'm doing better. Just kinda antsy to get our first call. I have paper and pen ready by the phone so we can get his address. They are not allowed to give it until they get there. Enough about that! I have dove into my found object box and started making some found object jewelry. This weekend, I learned how to drill metal, hammer it out if needed and make it have a faux patina. I played for several hours with many pieces like washers, watch parts, and all kinds of things I have found on the ground. Well, most of it I found. My husband finds little treasures for me as do some of my friends. It's funny because when they give me some little metal object they picked up off ...
