Zodiac backlog - LIBRA

I am behind with my self imposed Zodiac Challenge !

So this week I suddenly got an idea for the Libra

that was next on my list.

I got inspired by my son's latest crush on

Ang / The Last Airbender

and subsequentially Buddhism.
The weighing off of good and bad - yin and yang etc.
So here it is....

I tried out paletknife painting for the background

together with my special copic markers for the body

Two more signs to go (working on Scorpio as we speak)

Caught in the Abyss

Mixed Media on 8x15 inch woodpanel

Together with all te mermaids at the moment

I have also been working on some other things.

or hosted as the Butterfly Effect through Two Dresses Studio
They are aiming to collect 1,500,000 butterflies by June 30-2012
I have a link button at the top left here in my blog, so

The Abyss

I am finding myself in te Deep Dark Sea.....the Abyss....
it sometimes happens of course
that things don't go the way we want...
and am there now...at least with one of my works....
and I got all surgical with her and gave her a facelift....
let's hope her recovery is going to be good....
will keep you posted of course.
Luckily I have other projects to work on in the mean time...
