Oh Helene! These are awesome! They feel so honest and real. I love it when I feel a connection with the artist and in each of these I feel very connected to you. I'm especially drawn to June's Play/Marche. The symbols are at the same time enigmatic and familiar. I'm also very drawn to Skeleton Woman.... She makes me want to know so much more. Thanks for posting these! Hugs, Robin
Thanks Marty and Robin !
Well, Robin, you have chosen the pieces in which I gave most of myself. In November I had to go deep inside to heal myself, and the June piece is the cloth version of a simple painting made after drumming, which is a technique often used by artists.
Aha, now I get it- you are a bead and embroidery person :) I like your work, and love that you put so much soul and passion into it- that gives your work more character and depth.
Thanks for your kind comment Anaka !
