SOMEWHERE BETWEEN

Again this time of year ... It feels like you put right foot forward but the left one is still stuck somewhere behind. I am trapped between past and future trying to keep a healthy balance.

And cleaning... never ending... I am very bad at it. I never learned to stay in order with things arround me, it's just not in my nature.

Well, look what I found upstairs ! My beautiful Tarot deck ! The edition is called "Tarot de Paris" and the author is J.Philip Thomas. I bought them more than year ago. I loved them from first sight, they are so amazing ! They are inspired by the most magical place in the world - Paris. I love Paris. I walked through Paris touching history, art and magic. It is my magical spot on this side of life. I lived in Paris for 6 months and was traveling through France in many occasions discovering incredible places and wonderful people attached to them... I had a beautiful time there... And I always wanted to learn to read cards, they are still "calling me", I was trying few times but just didn't find enough time or possibility for meditations... It may be one of my New Year's resolutions :)





And here are my other findings... I was always cutting off and keeping things that somehow touched my soul or attracted me because of colors or shapes... I had plenty but cleaned out almost 3 years ago when I started to be Mum and had to concentrate on this new task. But still I find something here or there...





And I found as well my old Diary. First entry dated on December 2004, the last in 2007, soon after when my baby boy was born. Fun to read. I can't believe what I was thinking back then in 2005... Five years on I understand how much we change and how life presses and pushes us to finaly give us some shape. I still feel like a piece of clay without shape and it really feels good because there is so many things to look for, to try,to learn. Here is first page of my old Diary. I feel It could be good for this New Year too, but 5 years on the meaning is so diffrent for me.
The words by Simone de Beauvoir mean : We are not born women, we become women". The words by Phil Bosmans mean : In the end of each day you should put dote, turn the page and start again.
(Sorry if I didn't put it right, I am not very good at it)




I wish you all many positive discoverings in the end of 2009.

MOON "FACE" PENDANTS

MOON "FACE" PENDANTS

I am making some new FACE PENDANTS, they will look nice on christmas tree too.

First set of three is finished, I have three more in the oven, I will be painting them tonight.

They are all One Of A Kind.
Each FACE is unique, NO MOLD USED.
The eyes are made by me and inset during sculpting, they have clear lens for the beautiful magical effect.
I use little flower, fruits or swirls molds on sides for decoration.

This big kind of pendants will be available on comission and sometimes on ebay from January.

MOONLIGHT UNICORN - more photos

MOONLIGHT UNICORN

I finished. Yupii!!!! Here are my very unprofessional photos... I need to figure out some better background, but for now here it is ...

MOONLIGHT UNICORN is my pure One Of A Kind sculpture.
It is made of Fimo over wire armature and foil + tape wrap.
The unicorn is painted with Genesis and powders and glazed.
The eyes are gold. I made them myself previously and inset during sculpting, they have a clear lens for realistic effect.
The hair is blond viscose that I sprayed with antique gold on the ends and brushed out.
The base is a thin wood wrapped in clay, painted with genesis, powders, and glazed.
All sculpture with the base measures about 12in (30cm).

MOONLIGHT UNICORN

I always loved horses,not in the way to be arround them and take care of them but to admire their shape in real or in any kind of art, especially sculpture. I love shapes captured in sculptures. I used to sketch horses when I was a little girl but it is now when it came to my mind to sculpt one.

It is my first attempt in this subject, I wasn't sure if I could get the shapes right so I decided to make an unicorn. Yeah... "oh, you say it doens't look like a horse? well, it is not a horse ! it is an unicorn" - anything can pass under the lable of "magical", lol.

Here are few fotos of work in progress. Sorry for bad quality. The unicorne and his base are finished but i need to drill a better hole to fix it all together so I will show you the final product tomorrow. If I don't spoil it... fingers crossed.
