I've finished the course now, but loved every

So busy busy busy...

So...in between moving all my art stash out into
the shed/studio, and settling in our new family
member*2 legged not 4* I have been playing in 
some ATC swaps over at 
Willowing and Friends FB group...

 "Mermaids and Water"

"Stars and Shapes"
and an Art Swap *postcard size* with a lady in 
Canada that missed the first ATC swap, who asked
for "Fairytales" and "Anime"
 Loved how the "Babes in the wood" turned out, and 
the "Manthings" said my Anime piece reminded them of a
 specific scene from a classic lol so I am happy with that :D
Next up the "Chagall" inspired Mermaid for the M3 class
I bought from Willowing.com*which I am still enjoying*
 and the Froude inspired Faerie that is to be part
of a wall hanging!!!
So I am still around guys, and thinking of you all every day

Creation Angel

Week 4 of  Willowing's free e-course
 "Art Heart and Healing" is about inviting
good things into your life, (my fav class so far) and
we are encouraged to create an Angel to invite a particular
"good thing" back into our lives..
this is what I created :D
" Create Happiness"

Way back in May I stared working on an old wooden shelf
building layers representing creation/evolution.
I'd gotten this fa and was stuck with where to go next.
 (stamped layers of atoms/molecules/DNA strands/insects
as well as lot's of splattered inks and paint. I'd then added 
silhouettes of children playing and bubbles) 
 Now I added my "Angel" or "Guardian/Guide"
 and started to add translucent layers of colour with
watersoluble pencils...
 using matte medium instead of water so that the 
colours wouldn't move once dried.
 I added gold metallic acrylic paint to the wings and "halo"
 *yummy shimmer*
You can still see the earlier layers.
 *trying to show how shimmery the metallic paint is*
 In his/her open hands, a shiny gold star and a bright
butterfly :D
 Simple statement for a positive title
"Create Happiness"
 Still able to see some of the earliest layers of 
"Creation"
I also love how the many layers combine to give the
impression of a "Universe"
 While I was printing the title I made myself a couple of
sheets of  words for future journalling :D

Enjoy :D XXX
I would like to share with the following challenges;
