How many of you were fortunate enough to receive handmade gifts for Christmas??? Well, I received some really special gifts this year! Gift that were filled with love and creativity!! Just wanted to share some of those with you ! Kecia from Lemoncholy's sent me some of her original art work all the way from New Jersey. I had admired one of her bottle cap mixed media pieces earlier in the year, so she made me my very own:
She started with a vintage framed picture of a man praying (those who know me, know I need to and do pray often!!! very often!!! ) and added a mix of bottle caps in which she placed various art images (luv,luv the bird one) and then she attached a glass coaster and tiny coins and keys! There are lines of script around the edge, that tell a story! How cool is that??? And then....she also sent me a absolutely beautiful handmade pendant on a chain:
I love wearing this, the back side is just as cool...as it has the image of a little bird (I luv birds!!!) the little dangling tag reads: Trust in your Dreams, and on the bird side it says: Be Free. Thank you Kecia, I love these and will treasure them forever!! She is so talented!!!
I have a few more handmade goodies to show, but will wait until tomorrow. I am off to put the finishing touches on a new painting that I have been working on...will show that soon too!! If you are just now discovering our blog....Warehouseartchix is made up of a group of friends that share the gift of being artist....and that's not all we share. Each Friday night you can find us gathered for fun and fellowship as we create together. It could be a joint project, a cool idea or technique we have been waiting to try out, or just a time of working on our own projects as we share ideas and inspiration!!! So come back and see us and share in the adventures of Sandra ( designer/artist), Debra (creative artist and new mom to Jack her darling infant son!!), Cari (just returned from 5 yrs in New Mexico, design assistant/artist) and Nancy (who is currently taking a break due to having four teens in her house, three boys which make up the triplets and a daughter a year younger....can you just imagine all the hormones in that house!!! hoping she will survive these teen times and rejoin when they all have their drivers license!!!). Oh and before I forget....we will celebrate our 100th blog this week with a giveaway or two!!!! So come back soon- post by Sandra
so glad you love your Christmas presents! i forgot to tell you that behind the bird (on the charm) the vintage text is from a bible. i thought you'd like that!
