Random Acts of Kindness...

A call went out from a group that I am on for Angel Paper Dolls to donate to people in need of a little TLC.....So this is the paper doll I made...She is made from 140 wt water color paper which I doubled and glued together....Antique lace was added to her dress...along with jewels ...Her wings are stationary, but her arms are hinged and move....She can hang freely as she is painted on both sides.....The message that I get when seeing this angel is to hand her your heart when you are in need or hurt and she will gently hold it in your hands to help you heal.....
I am honored to be part of this project....Off she went to the hostess in Canada today!

mandala painting...

I was asked by an online friend to make a mandala for her...she like all of us, struggles with the balance of our lives....This little painting is what appeared to me for her....and the message it brings reminds us and I hope her to always look to the sun for warmth for our self...and to listen closely to the song in her heart....I know I need to be reminded of this...even on a good day!

Another ornament...

It is difficult to take a picture of a ROUND ornament...Especially without a tree to hand it on!! LOL....This ornament was a pleasure to work on as I tried a different technique....I painted the outside of the ornament rather than the inside to get the over all color...then sealed...then repainted...then sealed...layer upon layer with 4 different colors....the clay flowers ...names and
date were placed on it too...and then of course...those love birds just HAD to go on....along with a heart charm....

Birthday Memory Box...

I love painting on wood....I am not sure why...but I love the feel of it as I work on it and I love the surface of it!! This memory box was ordered for a sister from a sister!! To commemorate her birthday (I won't say what age she is!!) Inside there is a note that reads:
Let the garden of your life...enchant you with brighter colors...softer air...and a fragrance of love now and forever...
This box just makes me happy to look at!! Filled with love and promise!!
