Tattered heart Valentine print



Please listen to the music



 I am offering a print of a sculpture I created a few years ago..  It measures 3 1/2" x 5" ready to frame,  and is available in my Etsy shop for Valentines day.  She was titled Tattered Heart... A little about her.
She was  sculpted of Cernit polymer clay, little green leaves as a head dress... Her details were hand painted with fine acrylics..  I really enjoyed making her clothes... I used cheese cloth that I dipped in raspberry tea... The result was a soft pink.  
The watermark will not appear on  the  print..  Print is signed and dated on the back..

Love and blessings to you all.

Once upon a time



Good evening dear friends and readers. 
I am enjoying my needle felting again..  I used natural wool for Mama rabbit and baby.  Mama measures about 4 " to the tip of her ear, baby is 2 inches to the tip of ear.
She is reading handmade book titled Bunny Love.  They are in my Etsy shop.
 I hope they have given you a smile. 
Thank you so much for taking time to stop in for a visit.
blessings,
Penny

Angel relief completed.. ~ pacata corda ~ (Latin) Peaceful Hearts

Please listen to the music





       Pacata corda   (Latin)   Peaceful Hearts

Took some time, but she is finished... It all started with my sketch..  This relief measures 12"x18"... Faux stone was created with mixed media,  Angel, bird and cloth were hand sculpted  with paper clay...  I love the feel of this clay, it is very soothing for the hands and the mind..   I used several light washes of  fine acrylics in Terra Cotta and burnt umber...  It really can only be appreciated in person,  as I seem to be unable to capture the true colors...

While working on this particular piece,  my emotions went up and down with the horrific world events of the day,  but ending with  faith... A calm knowing that one day all the dear souls left behind will come together with their loved ones,  and those with troubled hearts for many reasons  will also find their path, and we shall all know peace.  This is my wish for all in the New Year..    Pacata corda --- A Peaceful Heart...







Blessings,
Penny
