HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

"FOR MONICA"

I made this piece for Monica, my 33 year old niece, who was diagnosed with breast cancer last October. She has just completed her 4th out of 6 chemo treatments. It is kind of hard to see the words on the piece, but two of the flowers have the names of her children on them. (Jett is 7 years old and Mattie Louise is 4)

If you look closely, you can see the pink breast cancer ribbon weaving through the piece.

Faith, Hope, Love, Joy, Strength, Believe, Trust, Courage, Inspire, Prayer are all included.

Beach

Spent the weekend at the beach and wanted to share some photos.


I love the texture in the sand.

I thought this was very interesting.

This was the first time I have ever seen a "sea cucumber". We were able to get him back in the water.

These beautiful shells were everywhere.

"BUBBLES"

"BUBBLES" is another piece that I am going to take to the Trinity School Artist Market. (www.spotlightonart.com)

"FRANNIE"

"FRANNIE" is another of my junk art pieces. This mask is made with another piece of wood that I found on the beach. The earrings are from the 80's - lovely aren't they. I also added buttons, metal and little wooden pieces. These masks are fun to make because I use anything that I can find.

I'm headed to the beach this weekend and hope the weather will be warm enough for beachcombing. Hopefully, I will find some wonderful "treasures".

"TWO SISTERS"

Trinity School in Atlanta hosts a "Spotlight on Art" Artists Market. This year I have been invited to participate and will be taking four of my fiber art pieces. I have never been to this event, but have heard that it is fabulous. The artwork is supposed to be unbelievable, so I am honored to have been asked to participate. If you live in the Atlanta area, please visit the "Spotlight on Art" Artist Market, February 15 - 20, 2010. (www.spotlightonart.com)

"Two Sisters" is one of the pieces that I will be taking to the market.

"MAY TODAY BE ONE OF YOUR ALL TIME FAVORITES"

Have a great day!
