Work of Art - Challenge 7/28/10

Greetings,

In this weeks work of Art they took on duality and opposing concepts. I thought it might be fun for us as Artists to take on the same theme.

So if you feel inclined choose an opposing theme. Create your work of art in that theme and post a link to your blog here! Also link to this post so other artists might participate in this project!

Some potential opposing themes:

Heaven - Hell
Light - Dark
Pain - Pleasure
Master - slave
Order -Chaos
Feel free to also list those you come up with!!

i will add my work for this challenge sometime in the next week!

Greetings,

I've been having issues with my ancient computer and have finally gotten it to speed up a bit so I can post some pictures of my recent work.

This is a "goddess" small piece that I did for a swap on swap-bot.

This is a covered and artistic box that I created for another swap on swap-bot. It was a great deal of fun and I look forward to having some of these on my etsy store in the near future.

This is an ATC that has been created as Part of the Nightblooming Flower Series I'm working on.
Feel free to comment!!

Greetings!!

So what have I been working on in this last month or so?


Gypsies and Goddesses!!!

I am a mixed media artist. Blending various mediums and forming one complete work in layers upon layers resonates for me. Here are two pieces I've worked on this last month. hopefully more to come!!






Art Journal...

Greetings!!

I have begun to work on my Art Journal courtesy of Suzi Blu. If you don't know who she is - she's an absolutely PHENOMENAL artist/teacher who is quirky, charismatic, funny and adorable...in short she's fey! LOL

The Journal prompt is currently "Congratulate and Celebrate" wherein you list things that you congratulate yourself for and celebrate yourself. This one is not quite done (like most art it's a work in progress) but here is where I am with it!

I encourage you to try this exercise... recognize and honor your own Magnificence!!!

In Joy,

Greetings,

This was shared on a forum I'm a member of and I thought it might be inspiring and encouraging for all of us creative folk. Tape it up somewhere to remind you to honor your Muse...honor yourself!!




Sari Love!!!

Greetings,


I LOVE sari's! Absolutely and completely! It was such fun to take take a vintage sari in all it's scrumptious ethereal-ness... and wrap it around a lovingly picked out journal for a friend. I wanted the journal to contain a bit of the Wabi-Sabi...the beautifully imperfect, because this is the message of the Universe that appears to me right now. The journal came out just as I envisioned it- it seems to whisper that it is full of secrets, mystery and things that might otherwise be forgotten...hidden things. I may make more of these to tell on the etsy store!

New Blog -Creativity Lives here!!

Greetings,

As I've embarked on this wonderfully scrumptious creative endeavor and business I've decided to start a blog that is focused solely on my creative endeavors. This may be fabric, paper, art, body products etc; This is the blog for my bliss and my business also by the same name. http://etsy.desiredthingz.com/

Some may wonder at the title of this blog. What is meant by Desired Thingz? One of my favorite written works is the Desiderata - desiderata is Latin for "Desired Things". The work (not quite poem, or essay...work being the term that seems to fit best) is all about the creation and experience of a life of balance, one's own truth and beauty. Creativity for me is all about the manifestation of those things and the ability to inspire others and give to them a taste of Living and not merely existing.

I hope you enjoy this trip down the rabbit hole with me!!
