Pretty in Pink

checks rosy pink
eyes lovely blue
hair like the sunset sky
leaves autumn's hues
pretty in pink
she glows

Peaches and Blue

I am taking Jane Davenport's class Supplies Me

I painted the paper with gesso,

used prismacolor pencil, a blending exercise.

The background is done in inktense sticks and then a water brush taken to it.

some of you may know Abigail

from Rusted Wings Blog

It was her birthday yesterday

we shared a lovely day in Glacier National Park on Lake McDonald

she has always wanted a cuff

so I made this for her

there is something so special about making gifts for people we love

our hearts pour into the gift

filling it with treasures of light and love to bless their lives

I think it might actually be a gift to ourselves to fill gifts with love!

Happy Birthday Abigail!

Happy PPF!

Beaded Bracelet, Spring Colors

Years ago I began beading this bracelet. 

To this day the colors thrill me. 

Have you ever thought about colors, 

how they move you, 

how they inspire you, 

how they sooth

or excite you?

I consider jewelry

colors

textures

of clothing

to be medicinal.

They support and inspire,

heal and nurture. 

Not just an adornment for the sake of decoration.

I am so happy that tonight I finished this piece

and can wear it!

I love the little dolphin clasps too~

Many of my artful friends took a peak at Anne's blog:

Unconventional Beauties

that I shared in my last post.

I decided to support her blog and explore the experience of doing a self portrait. 

If you would like to visit that post, please visit: Unconventional Beauties.

You may even like to join us with a post of your own. 

Who knows what gifts will be revealed in the process.
