artsy fartsy...

As I get older, I get stranger.  I know that's hard for some of you to believe... that I could get any stranger than I already am... but I mean with my tastes.  If you told me a few years ago that I would have a Gargoyle in a Bird cage in my front yard, I'd have laughed myself silly... but he's out there now. 

So this canvas was WAY out of the box for me art-wise - but today it feels right... Melody is teaching me some good tricks and gave me permission to just let GO with my art.  Not be so rigid... take my scrapbooker's eye and look a little to the left... lol 

Thanks for looking - today was just a 'have fun' day... no soul restoring. 

the 2 sides of me...

Week 3 involved your weak safe and your strong self... and getting the two to live together as one.  This was actually a fun lesson for me, I actually journaled (highly unusual for me) and enjoyed creating the pages... with the exception of the wrinkly paper from the mod podge. I'm not letting it bother me. I'm not letting it bother me. I'm not letting it bother me...

Timeline....

The timeline was extremely emotional for me to do. It made me face many of the things in my life that I've buried... the death of my father, my cancer... losing my mom... and the good things too - like my first love... to be continued...

My bravest thing ever...

An artist's canvas... using dimensional paint and a tim mask... the canvas itself isn't the bravest thing ever, it's the prayer and what it means to me...

God Box

A God Box for a friend celebrating 4 years at the end of this month... she is such an inspiration to me, and it's her job to read The Set Aside Prayer at every Thursday night meeting.  Her voice is so perfect for it - and it's just not the same when she's not there to read it.  I will always associate her with that prayer.

My Truthteller...

Meet my Truthteller... and some of my truths. 

Whoops. Out of order.

Oh well.  Forgot to post the first page FIRST.  This does not surprise me.
