Creating a Shrine......

I am offering an online class on creating a personal
"Shrine". These are wonderful pieces to create.
You can create a Shrine for many reasons...you can use it as a focus of your intention to create art...or to honor another...or yourself.

You will learn mosaic and embellishment techniques using apoxie sculpt and glass tiles. Also taught will be my step by step techniques for sculpting and painting the face and for creating a really unique
"soft and other-wordly" finish to that face.

In this class, you will have an opportunity to create a work of art that is beautiful, meaningful and very personal.
To read more on the Shrine class, go to That Creative Place.
Hope to see you there! :)

Cigar Box Shrine....the beginnings....

I do love creating Shrines.
This one will be included in a silent auction with the proceeds going towards the education of the children of Oaxaca.

I found a different looking cigar box and adhered metal findings to make legs on the box. Using apoxie sculpt and abalone shards, I have embellished the inside so that the lid remains upright.
The figure that I used is Our Lady of Guadaloupe made of brass, which I bought in San MIguel de Allende.
I've added antique trim and beads to it, and angel wings.
She will be placed within the box. Today I must do something with the outside of the box.......I just love creating Shrines.

I love creating Shrines......and I can't think of a better reason for making one than this "Call for Artists".
