Yep, I'm back for another weekly installment, but not for long. I have something to share with you, but I don't want to be here long. You see, I'm having one of those days, one of those weekends really, where all I want to do is veg in front of the TV with my sweetie. So, I'm going to do that! However, I wanted to share something first.
Just because I'm a couch potato this weekend, doesn't mean I haven't been playing in the studio. I am close to finishing a new piece. No name for it yet, but it is almost done...I just have to finish the back of it (yes, the backs of my art [if there ARE backs to them :-)] get love, too). Here it is (3" x 3"):
The only thing I don't like about these pictures as the color is a bit off. The true color is more purple-y...think royal purple, a deeper, darker, richer color than what you see above. It appears I have more photography research to do (why some colors don't come out correctly in the final picture). But, you get the idea.
I used my swirly paint technique, stamping, rubbing (the letters were rubbed on), and a little help from a black Sharpie. The whole idea came from the black, sparkly crown I got. When I was looking for the ribbon for the Buddha spool I did a while back (see earlier posts), I found a cool ribbon website (www.theribbonretreat.com...you really should check it out!). They also had other fun stuff out there...that's where the crown came from. It all materialized from there.
So, when the back and easel (it needs to sit on something :-) ) are finished, I'll share those with you. For now, I hope you enjoy this new piece and perhaps think about its message. I know I can always use the reminder...how about you?
Time to go...I hear a football game and my sweetie calling...
Happy Days!
