This Little Altars
installment was difficult and easy at the same time. Difficult because I
was uninspired and quite distracted by other things (mostly by our new
puppy). Easy because all the thought I put into, it in very small
increments over many days, seemed to generate its own inspiration and
solutions, so that, in the end, things came together more quickly than I could
have hoped for!
Out of nowhere, I got a
picture in my head of a funky crown for Kathy, and actually put it on
paper. I’m sure if I hadn't, the image would have been gone. It
seemed like it would be a good thing to make using the copper that I've been
coloring with watercolors. I wanted the two spots we were to fill to have
some unity, so something with the same materials seemed to make sense.
And I had some scraps that seemed to be mountain shapes, so…….. we have a crown
and some mountains floating in the wild blue yonder, with vintage nailheads
being the gems on the crown.

Kamy Strahle at 8 weeks. He’s now 11 weeks! Turning into a sweetie!
Great colors Nancy each piece complements the other. Love the use of watercolors to enhance the copper metal, I'll have to try it. Kamy is adorable. Thanks for showing a picture of him. Happy New Year 2014
