Magic

First page for 2010, Wanderlust, Everything Art. Not first prompt, but first page as this one really called to me. It was suggested that we do a portrait based on our heritage which really got me thinking and hunting on the Internet. I am primarily Hungarian and always though of myself as an "old" soul with deep roots. In reading, I found that the term "gypsy" is considered derogatory by some. Sad, as it evokes such delightful thoughts in my mind.

I found using real fabric a delight. I had some from a tip I had made with wonderful memories of times with a good friend that I used for her "babushka" and the stream on the facing page. The coins were cut from embossed gold paper, the tarot cards were free on the Internet for personal use.

Thanks, Dana Bloede, for such a great lesson!

And, thanks for stopping by.

Magic

Everything Art for Kasia's Advent Calendar for December 23rd is Magic!

Remembering a road trip up north to see the snow. Fresh snow was clinging in huge piles upon the branches. I grew up in snow country and have never seen anything like this. It was truly MAGIC!

I used a bit of sparkly Stickles and some puff fabric paint for the snow. 

Thanks to all who visit along this fun journey, with Kasia's Advent Calendar.
I will be back in January as I will be participating in Wanderlust for all of 2010. Check out all her classes here.
