CELEBRATION SHRINE

 I have been working on my Celebration Shrine.
 I have selected the fabrics and ironed the Wonder Pellon to the back.
  The eyebrows are made of a snake skin looking printed fabric.
 That is to represent the idea of shedding old beliefs for new ways of thinking.
The desire to see more clearly (the crystal blue eyes) the Truth or Reality.

 I love this fabric that a friend gave me.  We both love Alice In Wonderland.

  I think it is because life and relationships have often been a mystery.  

Since "mystery" is my word for 2012 I thought I should add a little.

  I didn't really want to use this print in my shrine

because it didn't go with the symbols that I had  already picked. 

But I wanted to use the symbolism, even if it was only something 

that I would know about.  After all the shrine is for me.   

So I cut the pupil of the eye out of the black section of the fabric,

to remind me that sometime life can be a Rabbit Hole and 

beware of tunnel vision.

I am really enjoying Vagabonding

.  Here is what I drew today.  It is a Picasso.

  I could have colored it, but the pen and ink give it kind of a different character.

  I really like the eyes.  Here is a link to the original  painting.
