I was 16 almost 17 when I walked into the best church ever!
One of the many church members that approached me was a woman by the name of Judy. Judy always had something good to say to me, she always made me feel kind of special with out even knowing it I think.
Judy has been fighting a cancer for some time now and I'm not sure she has much time left with us.
I made this for her this weekend
There are many layers
fabric
paper napkins
string
pattern paper
I then went and painted a few flowers, added some butterflies and hand stitched the centers.
I will put this in the post tomorrow and hope that Judy finds a little comfort while holding this piece and feeling all the layers underneath.

This is one of my 3 mannequins
I'm going to post this for sale in my Etsy store
I have always been attracted to other artists art : ) These are two of my paper dolls that I got over 4 years ago.
The chubby girl pulling herself up from the scale to show a lighter weight so reminds me of myself right now.
Here is a 30X30 canvas
I think it still might need a bit more of some watered down white before I start adding the subject.
Happy New Year to you all
A week from today Michael will start his new journey with this new company.
Zackery will be back at school (departing today)
Hannah continues to have a good second year of high school.
I will be back in the studio full time
Life is never perfect
but we should find the good in each day.
Love and hugs to you all
