Just Rewards

With apologies to the military for whom the stripes have specific meaning, I have used them in my work to signify something broader here. In my work, "Just Rewards", they symbolize all the work that well meaning humans do on this earth, work which is never rewarded....except possibly in the minds of Christians who believe they will be awarded in heaven.

I decided I would give the awards right now, while watching the changes this brings: a higher consciousness, peace, love, and an ability to see everything through the third eye!

This is the first non feng-shui box shrine I've created in nearly a year. It was wonderful to allow my soul to "speak" about a subject which, apparently, has been on my mind.

Faith

"Faith makes all things possible....Love makes all things easy."
My first Feng Shui shrine! I used luck and love symbols.

Two New Box Shrines

"The Alchemist" refers to all agents of change, be they chemists, shamans, or artists. This was my first assemblage in many months, and I had a rough time working in a cleaned up studio. It is "well seasoned" now.:-) I work best in organized chaos which to someone else might look like a "total mess". It's a good thing I don't feel that way about the rest of the house!


































When I was in Tanzania I saw hundreds upon hundreds of zebras, and learned that each one was different. Looking at groups of them, it's easy to see them as being the same, but really looking at individuals it's easy to see that each one has a unique striping pattern. And, so it is for the rest of us. "No Two Alike" is the name of the piece.

Wings of Dreams

"On the Wings of Dreams I'm flying free
with a dreamer's dream,
To a land without fear, darkness, and doubt;
Where shadows and hauntings
of all time and space
are rainbows with colors the endlessly grace....
happiness, hope, and all joys to embrace."

Mixed media assemblage I completed today. My work seems to be taking a new direction....more complex, less edgy, and...perhaps, prettier. I would love to know what you think.....

Yesterday's Memories

Just finished is this intricate 8 x 12 assemblage built into a wood cabinet with glass door. The exterior is an antiqued dark brown.
