WIP shelly's mirror

18 years ago

This reads

"between tender and tough, beauty and intellect, girl and woman, there is... you.

as always, this has been strongly influenced by by the LOVELY Slowmedown who shows me how to see things in different ways!

the sides are checkers of black and gold mirror. I'm planning to grout in charcoal and finish the inside frame around the mirror with black beads

    THIS. You beat all, girlie. The iconic shape, of course, is my favorite canvase, and your ideas just make me want to get out to my workshop and play. This w/be spectacular when finished. Wish I could see it in person. I love the saying too - it's a great message. Keep rolling out these masterpieces, girl. You got the goods.

    Forgot to say the whole feeling of the piece exudes what the message tiles say. I can't describe it, but the softness of the butterfly, the aged face of the sun, the boldness of the spindle, the colors - well - I'm not good at articulating what my heart feels about art and what it all means, but there's definitely a heartfelt message about this piece, and I know it came from your heart. Someone else can put it into words.

    That is simply beautiful, and the thoughts behind it touch my heart. The message tiles show up so well. What's the size of this piece? You laid those out first, then cut the background tiles to fit. Truly an artist!!!

    Slow, this is one of those square Ikea mirrors I think they're 10"X10" or close to that. Crystal01 and I got 9 of them on Craigslist (it was close to her work) so we split them up.

    Thankyou all
