PASSION and FRIENdSHIP...

i just found this quote today, by Charles Bukowski,

i had never heard till now...

 

"If something turns your soul with purpose and desire,

it's YOUR duty to be reduced to ashes by it"

 

the artwork was a 7" X 7" hanger i made long ago and gifted it

;)

HOW MANY CHANGES...

 I thought i'd show some of the changes...

 

 

 

 I didn't care for their faces...

 

 

 

 this has been hanging around for 3 years or more...

 

 

 

 if I knew how to work a movie camera, then i'd show it that way...

 

 

 

 they sure have morphed I tell ya'...

 

 

 

 

 this used to be the absolute scariest thing ever, to change a painting, especially a fairly large one...

 

 

 

 

 this is an 16" X 20" gallery wrapped, no frame needed...

 

 

 

 

 this has been a real challenge...

 

 

 

 

 and yet a labor of love, always learning more and more in the DOING!

 

 

 

 

they are close to being finished.

and they are wearing the most wonderful

FABRIC PAPER I fashioned...

and will show them with their entire outfits when I finally

reach that last stroke! WHEW!

 

IT READS:

on the left--she really listens

on the right--she so gets me.

PEEK A BOO...she's brand new

i think she will begin a series...we shall see

there is something special about a way of life here...

hold on to your hat!!!

ANGEL HANGERS...for all year round, and in time for Christmas...

 on one fine day i cut up some 140 lb. watercolor paper

 

 

 

 

 painted and collaged...

 

 

 

 i even took them outside and spray painted...

 

 

 

 added papers, ribbon, cheese clothe...

 

 

 

 and even put them under the sewing machine needle to attach various materials and such...

 

 

 

 and then today, i put on some finishing touches...

 

 

 

 added some wire and beads to turn them into little hangers

 

 

 

posted all of them on PINTEREST

THEY are for sale,

but,

i made each of them specifically for special persons in my circle

of friends, so, if,

they sell, i'll buy more paint,

and if they don't, they will go to that special person.

and...

i love making them and will make more ;)

 

 

If you'd like to peruse the lot, you will find them on Pinterest under

pinterest.com/wandamariemille (no r)/

 

i wish all my friends a delightful week of arting!
