Venus of Willendorf














She is made with air drying clay (Crayola brand). I'm very happy with the results....this was an exciting project for the Suzi Blu Goddess Class. This is a keeper!

Venus Goddes of Willendorf

She is made of air dry clay (Crayola brand). She will get a few coats of acrylic paints when she is dried. When I hold this in the palm of my hand it feels spiritual....I LOVE this class.....and I get to keep my art for a change.

Goddess of the SOUL Psyche (and Eros) Stupid Cupid

PSYCHE, Goddess of the soul. She exemplifies a woman's search for authentic personal growth, like the symbol of the butterfly emerging into the light from it's dark cocoon.
12x12 mixed media. feathers, German Glass Glitter, a siver Cupid pin that represents Eros....stupid cupid! This is an awesome story.

Be Divine Healing Art Journal for SuziBlu's Goddess Class



This is my smaller healing art journal....where I put my home work. I made pockets to hold the PDF and tabs to take me right to the page I want. I like how it's getting chunkie and expanding all around the sides. Soon I hope to get some drawings and more art in there....but for now I'm still working on my larger 12x12 pages for the other Art Journal.

GODDESS'

My Suzie Blu Goddess Class is all about making large mixed media collages of the selected Goddess'. Here is two...Demeter, who is just like me. I used a picture of Sally Fields because I've always adored her and the movies and television shows she has stared in....I have been told often by different peolple that I look like her too...what a wonderful compliment.
Of course to me Marilan Monroe exemplifies a sex goddess to me....how gorgious she was...she is my idol and will be Aphrodite.
These are bouth 12"x12" and will fit nicely in a big scapbook. There glitter and feathers and lots of wonderful mediums....is there a law against have so much fun making art? I'd be guilty for sure if there where. I have not finished these yet....that's the beauty of collage....more can always be added.

My SuziBluClass

I am so enjoying this class with an AWESOME very talented and inspiring young Missy named SUZI BLU.....what a treasurer and gem. So down to earth and approachable.....we ALL LOVE her to death!
Now that I'm feeling much better these days and have my blood pressure under control and the meds are not knocking the wind out of me I'm getting deeper into the class and process of mixed media. I also have to learn what program to download that is combatable with that web site....ning....so I can copy and save the vidios of the class.....I sure would hate not to be able to save them......there is so much knowledge in each one.
Well, now to the fun and exciting part of this blog. We all were put to the challenge of making an oracle card or tarot or your own card. I had made two that were sooooo serious and melodramatic....I just couldn't stick with them to the end....well some day I'll get back to 'em....but for now I'm sooooo happy that I went ahead and lighten up and went for the whimsy and made a Bumble Bee I call Buzy. She has some art tools in her six lil' hands and has to remember to "stop and take time to smell the roses"! Suzi put her on the top of the photo page as a featured picture....I was stunned and I'm on cloud nine....it really made my day. ...and has also valadated to me that I do have a bit of talent....well, hell yeah! I so love to draw, paint and create. I'm really learning how to add the layers for a mixed media that is getting so popular. Now I can't wait to start my next pieace.....whimsy it is......I'm not going to try and get so imotionaly deep and anilize my every art work......this was fun and enlighting for me.
