As a new amulet maker, I created one for me from one of my all time on going prayers of 'peace at home, night through day'. The beads represent natural protection, seeds, shells, pearls and crystals. I have since added crystals scattered on the surface. Key for amulet makers is to use what is at hand ...the polka dots at first seemed too crafty but I let go of that as polka dots give me a smile. It is created to turn from night into day and hard to see but the black is sheer with specks of metal over a purple cloth. I'll create a few more with cloth and then maybe switch over to clay?!
I love to stop by and see your work, it's very fun and inspiring. Thank you :-)
ReplyDeleteBeverly, Thank you for such a lovely comment...it makes me feel good to think some of my work is inspiring...I love art making and have been at this a long time!!
DeleteI know what you mean, I'm glad my Grandchildren love art too. They come in the door and run down to the art table anxious to know what we will make that day.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they will always remember "art" days at your home!
DeleteBeautiful, Mary Ann. i love the contrast of the black and aqua shapes, with the purple in between to express the transition.
