Getting back on track

My very first mixed media on canvas - and my daughter's Christmas gift from me.  

To me the holidays keep us so busy and happy that I don't get back into the groove until late January.  Well this year is no different.

I have started an intense yoga teacher training to add to my collection of things I can do when I'm retired.  This year is going to be the year of changes for me.  I am moving forward to do everything I can to prepare to be an independent self employed happy person.  I'm super lucky to have an amazing husband who is in strong support of my decision.  (I think he'd like to see me in a better mood at the end of the day).

Stay tuned as I create new art in many mediums and get back to what makes me whole.

Of to yoga school!

Zahara - Zen Art Doll

$150.00   contact me at Susiewhc@gmail.com

Zahara is an art doll that stands about 10" tall.  She is standing on a sconce that hangs easily hangs on a wall with a light weight nail.  The whole piece is about 14" tall by 12" wide.

This one of a kind doll was created and designed by me using vintage fabrics and thrift store finds.  

 I sculpted Zahara out of paperclay and attached her to a candle holder/sconce I found at a thrift shop. This little red head is draped in beautiful gold toned clothing made from vintage fabrics. She meditates silently with her hands to heart center; her mala resting around her beaded wrists.
She peacefully holds a tree pose in the middle of a lovely lotus. The lotus was created by sculpting each petal out of wire and filling with pink shear fabric, and finally embellishing with natural elements of moss and fern.
