MORE CRONES!
MORE CRONES!
Crone number 1 Years Ago I Collected African Trade Beads. I Have Quite a Few Left So Used Them Plus an Ancient Looking Bell and of Course Horsehair Taken From the Tail.
Sold. Thank you Sally!
I absolutely love creating my crone series. Through the years, I have collected a lot of unusual materials for my work and now I’m digging into the reserves and finding some great embellishments. I am showing 4 crones and gave a description under each one of the materials I have used. Here is her story, for those who missed the last post.
THE CRONE
Winged woman of flight..
the all-mother of humanity..
wise soothsayer
Goddess
Or hag.
Her eyes burn with the wisdom
of antiquity..
Her voice murmurs a truth that
cannot be heard by the
unreceptive masses..
She has passed through the
great change and she lives
on to rewrite the burned chronicles
of ..Her Story.
She allows each wrinkle to
act as voice to proclaim and
reclaim her power.

Crone Number 2 Features a Beautiful Piece of Crystal and Very Old Pendant That Came From India (quite expensive as I recall)
Crone Number 3 I Used an Unusual Pendant on the Top of Her Head Which Shows An Egyptian with A Snake on Her Head. I Have No Memory of Where I Got This Piece. It Also Has Some Lettering That Spells Out D O F I. If Anyone Knows What it Stands for I Would Love To Find Out.
Sold. Thank you Sally!
Crone Number 4 Has An Interesting Pendant in Purple, Not Very Old But The Purple Beadwork On Her Head is Quite Old.
Hanger Included on Back
They are for sale for just $32. Remember, even though they look big as life on the screen, they are very small. Would look good in any special nook or altar of your home. Size is only 3" w x 6" high approx. but they pack a big punch!
If you are interested in purchasing. Pleased e-mail me and we can go from there. I take personal checks or Paypal.
Thanks so much for viewing.

NEW LOOK FOR B-DAZLE!
NEW LOOK FOR B-DAZZLE
B-dazle! My Sweet Little Art Car
Ain’t she sweet?
See her riding down the street
Now I ask you very confidentially
Ain’t she sweet?
That’s the little tune that keeps popping into my head as I look at B-dazzle with her new carlashes! I also added dazzling eyeliner to her lashes for a real snazzy look.
Oh Those Eyes!
For those of you who are new to my blog, B-Dazzle is my little art car. She has 23,000 beads, bangles and bows and took 6 years to complete. Yep..it was me, beads, glue and many gallons of wine that got me to the finish line.
Another View
What do you think the chances were that I'd find two buttons at my local flea market that fit exactly in the center of each eye? Just got lucky I guess. Can you tell what I’m going to add next? If you look very closely you will see what looks to be her lips. You can even see where they turn up at the ends to form a smile. I’m wondering whether to apply red enamel paint or use more beads? Humm..fun ahead. If anyone thinks of anything else to use for B-dazzle's face lift, please let me know. I'm always open for ideas~ Hope you like her.
