dream weaver


This is a paper weaving of my dreams and my life. It came from an online prompt. I did it while I was staying in a motel where I went to have a break from home and to do some art without distraction.

VOG dolls





I made these two dolls for the doll challenge as part of reading Julia Cameron's book Vein of gold. The black doll is my inner critic that still has a heart and helps me to learn so much about life particularly now I have befriended her. The other doll has two sides. I have bipolar so the colorful side is when I am energetic and slightly manic and the plainer side is my quieter less energetic side. I am busy making a shrine for the two of them to live in.

Bracelets



Dear friend, I have just made my first two bracelets. The red and silver and blue and silver bracelets. The plain turquoise one is a gift from a friend. I thought it would be hard to make a bracelet but it was a lot of fun. I have another two planned and a necklace too....maybe more. I'll be adding more of my work when my camera is repaired. It's in being fixed.

Lost and found


Dear friend,
The funny thing about doing this artwork was that I found a pen i had lost for months and I found a cross that had been lost as well. Quite strange. Mostly I want to find wellness.

Hands


Dear friend,
This is a response to a drawing class I am doing online. it was to draw and collage hands. I did a photocopy of hands and surrounded it with sketches of my hand. You can't see the sketches. Sorry I am not good at reproducing my artwork. I will get better. Looking forward to my homework for this week.

Doiley


Dear friend,
I made this doiley during a 30 day creativity challenge on line. I hadn't done crochet in years. It was great to do and to remember how to do it. Crochet fine cotton has a lovely rhythm to it. I am doing another one.
