Creating Art makes me Happy....

I would like to share a recent piece....

I am very grateful for all things I can do and make.

 I have had 3 serious injuries that could have

completely altered my life.  2 closed

head brain injuries and spinal factures in 3 places. So

the fact that I can do everything that I could

before the accidents is truly a blessing.

I am in such a good place today that I

am so very Grateful for my Life.

For my confidence to try new things and

explore the many things in life that

bring me joy.

Creating art brings me peace

and happiness and my

hope is that I can bring other people

some happiness with it!

This little rabbit is Teela...

I felt touched and moved by the

story of this little bunny that

brought so much love to her owner

when she was rescued from a shelter and

then sadly such grief when she died.

I could relate when this happened

to my beloved rabbit Giddy.

I thought maybe a nice memorial for her

owner  of her dear rabbit would

maybe help her with her sadness.

This was a first time I had attempted a

pet portrait in clay from a photograph

I was surprised and happy with how

she appeared in the clay.

I slowly dried it and kept my fingers

crossed it would survive firing with no

cracks in the kiln.

I was thrilled when she came out fine.

I began adding color

And finally she is completed!

I'm feel like I was able to capture her sweet

little spirit.  I am glad she arrived to her owner

safe and sound and that I was able to hopefully

give her a happy memorial of her beloved Teela.

I am excited to have been able to

expand my artistic ability to a new level

and in a new way.

This little Teela piece is definitely a favorite of mine!
