New Work


I’m excited about this piece.  It’s my first attempt using stringing and bead embroidery together in a non-jewelry piece.  The idea has been swirling in my head for months, now that I see I like I it want to do a few more.  I’m not tired of the mandalas, but it's time to start branching out.  


I made this piece specifically to be displayed at a small local art exhibit.  It's not meant to go on the wall, it's free standing.


It’s about the moment in time when a burden has been lifted from your shoulders, and how good that feels. 

I don’t have a title for it yet, any suggestions?

    Fabulous, I love it!

    Evokes a sense of freedom or flying were the words that sprung to mind when I looked at.

    I like this direction you're going in!

    A successful mind to matter piece. You really captured the human form in flight and the suspension is masterful. Beautiful presentation with the stand. A winner in every way.

    Also, wanted to touch base with you about the AtoZ April Challenge. I remember that was where we first met last year. I am a minion/helper this year and am spreading the word about signing up. Links on my Sidebar.

    Good stuff. The minute I saw the piece it brought to mind Steve Winwood's album Arc of a Diver, which contained the great single While You See A Chance. The diver on the album cover bends a different way to your figure, but it's all good. Impressed, as ever.

    I don't think I have seen anything so beautiful.
    What a mind you have for creating art that makes people Feel and Think.
    This is masterpiece...simple and complex all at the same time.
    I just don't know what to say. I am speechless...in the best of ways :-)

    Gorgeous Liz, I love the how the figure is suspended in mid air and of course the bling factor. Jubilation comes to mind a feeling of accomplishment and easy excitement.
