"How the Eclipse Came to Be"; There was a time when the stars were so bright in the sky that the Moon became jealous. "Oh, what am I to do? I am much bigger than the stars, but they still shine so brightly in the sky. Oh, woe is me."                                                                                    There was a Star shooting by that evening. It heard what the Moon had said. "Well, hello." Said the shooting star. "I hear you have troubles."                                                                                    'Yes, thank you for asking Mr. Shooting Star. I saw you shoot by, and I made a wish. Maybe my wish may come true."                              "A wish, you say," replied Mr. Shooting Star. 'What was your wish?"                                                                                                                     "I wish to be as bright in the sky as your brother and s

" Reach for the Sky " This painting starts with laying yellow and orange acrylic paint. When dried, a coat of blue and purple acrylic paint is applied. Before that dries, I take a stick (The back of a paintbrush) and scratch the main design, free hand, to reveal the bottom color. Dried, I then heavily applied the bottom color paint. This art is from a painting series titled "Beautifully Broken." It is a 12" X 9" on canvas board abstract expressionistic painting depicting people with different abilities. When I started this project, I noticed that people of different abilities, Disabled folks, which I'm not too fond of the word disabled, were not included in most artists' paintings. So taking a step to rectify that problem, I saw it as a problem, and I started using myself on crutches or a crutch in my future artistic endeavors https://angelwingartfarm.com/products/reach-for-the-sky-is-an-abstract-expressionistic-original-modern-art-acrylic-painting

It started with the Sun chasing the Moon around the world. When the Sun could not take the hunt any longer, it finally called out to the Moon. They pause their chase to look at each other. "What is it?" asked the Moon. Only smiling, the Sun holds out his hand for the Moon to take. The stars in the sky all assemble to watch what is to happen. Below them, the ocean starts to rise and fall. As it does, the sea's voice creates music with its' roar and crash of its' waves lashing the shore. With that, the Sun and Moon begin to dance. Shining in the sky, dancing the night away. When morning beckoned, the dance came

the making of the dragonfly handmade copper pendant

Image
This dragonfly pendant is created on two 24-gauge copper sheets. The bottom layer is painted with my mix of yellow-orange enamel. Top layer is hand sawed in an oval shape to reveal the colored bottom layer. Top and bottom copper is riveted together and fired in a kiln. Now the dragonfly shape is hand sawed, and the veins in the wings are engraved using a hand-held rotary instrument. Black wax is applied to the engravings, and all are fired in a kiln to make one. https://angelwingartfarm.com/products/handmade-dragonfly-gift-copper-necklace-dragonfly-jewelry-unique-hand-painted-copper-pendant-dragonfly-gift
