But it could be. I've known a few unique souls who would delight in receiving something like this as a token of affection. This, though, is a piece created for an upcoming art fundraiser. I guess it turned out this way because of the excessive bombardment of heart-shaped romantic advertising?
Maybe not.
This is the way I'd attack my art journal pages if I could, but for some reason I can't. At least not consistently. I can do it for altered book swaps and other such projects intended for others, but it seems somehow selfish and wasteful to put so much effort into a private journal page destined for my eyes only. That's a little sad, so I'm going to work on myself. As soon as I finish all these art pieces destined for public consumption.
So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI struggle with the idea of art that isn't seen by anyone... but then I remember that its good to make as many things as possible beautiful/interesting, so regardless of whether or not its shared I'm going to try!
Thanks for sharing!
so, if this is for the fundraiser, what did you do for the anti-valentine day contest? I think this is AWESOME. Nice work. :)
ReplyDeletereally cool...

Clarissa this is absolutely stunning! Count me among those who would be thrilled to own this piece!
ReplyDeleteI too, am working on "art to keep" this year - in fact that was one of my New Years resolutions. All of my best stuff is swapped or given away, and I get to keep nothing except maybe an AB cover or two.
Also enjoyed seeing your kitties choose your OWOH winner, even though it wasn't me. :)
Cindy :)
