Hi everyone,
Sorry for not posting anything for so long, but I had a pretty bad time lately and didn't feel like it. To cut a story short, I had some problems with my heart in the last few months. After few tests, my cardiologist decided that he wants to investigate more and he asked for an angiogram. It was done last friday in Dublin and thank God everything it's OK now, but it was a pretty scary experience for me, I must admit. During the procedure I started to have very big pains because one of my artery entered in a spasm. The doctors dealt with it and finaly and, like my cardiologist said, it was very good that this happened, because he understood exactly what the problem is. So, now I'm back and very happy that everything ended well!
Now, enough about this!LOL
Even if I didn't post, I was working, so I can share with you my latest adventures in my art journey.
First, I made a Christmas gift bag with a matching tag. The bag measures 8 1/4"x 5" and has a pocket for the tag. I used cardstock, patterned papers, stamps, inks, glitter, punches, spellbinder nestabilities for cutting the snowflakes, paper roses, buttons, crystal brads and ribbon.
You can see details here:
And now, some work in progress. I started to paint an icon of the Blessed Mother and Child and here is how far I went with it until now.
Usually, I was working this kind of paintings in the traditional, byzantine style, but here I wanted to try something new, introducing some of the techniques learnt in Suzi Blu's The Goddess and the Poet class. So far, I colored the sketch with Prisma colors and then I mounted the sketch on a wood panel.
Few details here:
OK, that's for now, my friends and now I'm off to see your blogs that I missed so much lately!
Thanks for your visit,
Lots of love, Sanda xx
