Mothersday Spread    13 may 2012

I had such a great Mothersday this year.
It was the first time since my daughter lives on her own.
She took me for a Grand High Tea, afterwards we arted together, it was lovely! 

FACES

The last couple of weeks in BOD we did some Faces

It was fun but I somehow end up with the same

cartoonish style, I wish I could make them different

gotta work on that :)

After watching a lot of SHE Art Videos

I had to try these techniques myself! 

So I bought three canvas artpanels (half A4)

 Boy ... did I have fun! 

I loved working with the 3d modelling paste (top left corner ) 

and I think on this I used all my stuffs! :) 

Two of them went to a couple of my best dutch friends 

for their Birthdays  last weekend.

The blue one I made just for ME !

By the way - You can ORDER one if you like !

Mail me for more info please ! 

On Facebook , 
I overheard some people talking about 

"What is your Animal totem"...

I looked it up on Google and found some crappy 
Quizes about the theme. 

Everytime I took one I had a different totem....GAH! 

That didn't work obviously.

Then I started thinking... 
what Animal has been and is sort of always around me... 

As I child I was always on the look out for Ladybugs.
I even held them in jars! But never too long..

They tend to land on me a lot, 
and I always make sure they are okay 
and fly away again safe.

When we moved back to our house with our Office,

we cleaned and I found a Ladybug 
(mind you: this was in january!)

Later on that day, sitting outside having a beer in the springsun,

 one landed on my chair!       So ..... LADYBUG it is!

Love all the things that belong with the Ladybug totem, 

they really resonate !

Funny thing is, my soul-mate and me are totally in love 

with Holy Mary Statues. We have at least 10 of them

standing around in our living room!

And guess what: The Ladybug used to be called  

"Beetle of our Lady"

Gotta love it!:D
