Spring Green

Spring Leaf

mixed media art by Rosa Phoenix

I made this Spring Leaf a couple of years ago for my little friend, Lea. She loves ladybugs.

The leaf is made with felt glued onto cardboard. The ladybugs are glass beads that I sewed to the leaf. I made the butterfly with wire, glass beads and feathers.

Thanksgiving Portrait Sketch

pencil and crayon on paper 

Happy Thanksgiving!  

A turkey is the traditional symbol of Thanksgiving. 

Instead, here is a drawing I did a few years ago that I feel represents this All-American holiday.

This is my portrait of my sweetheart, who has mixed Native American and European ancestry. In his family tree is the story of this country. He is wearing colorful feathers in his hair.

I'm sending my best wishes across the world wide web. 

I'm very thankful to be alive and well and surrounded by beautiful friends and family.

Masks

What shall I wear to the Masquerade Ball?

I embellished these masks with 

feathers, faux fur, crystals, sequins and glitter.
