"Peace Maker"


As I was creating this journal page I had nothing in particular in mind. All I knew was that my friend Terri gave away a freebie image the other day that struck me. This image has so many possibilities and I may even have another go with her. She turned out to be posing as a woman who grew up being the middle child. It's funny when ever I have spoken to someone who also grew up being a middle child there have always been so many similarities. Personally I loved being the middle child and I wouldn't have had it any other way. I'm not sure I'm the person I am today because that is simply my personality or because of the middle child duties of keeping the peace between siblings, friends etc... that molded me that way. Anyway, I love this image and I thank Terri for giving it away, I really had a lot of fun with this piece!!

  2. Beautiful page! I love how you have used this image for middle child. My sister Tania was the middle one, we used to call her the 'happy giver' because she was always keeping the peace even if it meant her going without! I'd call that a peace maker for sure! I was the baby of the family!
    I love the way you muted the texture in the background!

  3. I love what you did with the "chain mail" lady that Terri gave all of us. Obviously being a middle child did not affect your art abilities!

    Have a wonderful rest of the day~

  7. I love this piece and the concept that goes behind it! The idea of birth order fashioning who we are is so fascinating....I'm an oldest child who spent a lot of time being an 'only.' I wonder what that says about me? :)

India

Meet India, she is such a treasure! I made from a tea cup I brought back from India last year. She sits 6 1/2 inches tall. The base she sits on is a beautiful square plate I found in Crate & Barrel that matched the tea cup perfectly. India has been embellished with fabrics I also brought back with me. Her hair is a combination of wool and acrylic fibers and she is jeweled with brass accents. India has henna patterns on the souls of her feet and around the tops of her arms and sits in this peaceful position as she meditates. She's waiting to sit in your home and bring you peace.

She believes in nourishing her body from the inside out but once a week a good facial mask and cucumbers on her eyes make all the difference in the world. She stand 8 inches tall and would love to sit on the side of your tub or on your dresser. She could spend hours in the bathroom! * Mable is an original one of a kind decorative Art Doll and not meant to be played with as a toy.
