"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

52 projects...week 44~



 

~mystical mask making~

i had this crazy idea of having a mask exchange
which as you now know
has come and gone

the days leading up to it
i started thinking
"have i lost my mind"
"this is crazy"
i really had no idea of how to do such

then it came to me
in the wee early hours one  morning


i had an old karma card book
 i had been using for random projects
so out came the pages
of a scorpio
{mothermoons astrological sign}
and into some coffee
i layered and layered
and then let it dry


i often think of mothermoon
and the scenes she shared from last winter
it reminds me always of narnia

ice queen in mind

out came the glitter


thee eyes
what to do with ones eyes

a little nature came into play
silver ferns for a delicate flair


little tiny beads wanted to stay


placed around the edges


and over the eyes they carefeully lay

error on my behalf
i got so excited about this here piece
i forgot to take a full shot picture
of her all complete
but fear not
if at all interested
posted about it

now an
ice queen
couldn't go out into the land
 without one of these in her hand


i had my doubts along the way
especially when no others but two were wanting to play
but i have to say
i without a doubt l♥ved
making this mask for mothermoon
so much so
that i indeed will create more


oh a just a friendly reminder
TODAY
is the
 last day
to sign up for the 
there are four different swaps to be had
3 gifts to give...yule~holiday card...
ornament exchange...book exchange
pick one...two..three..or all four
what ever you wish

Beautiful and sparkly! Magick is afoot!

FW-there are times when one has to think that we makers are just takenn over by the muse. I really had to have a chuckle as I read your progressive adding to the mask - it was almost the creator. Love the fact that you let the printed base show through. B

I was also tempted by the swap...........maybe next time!! Love yours - and I like how the word "guidance" peeks thru on the nose.
