GETTING MOTIVATED in 2013

How is 2013 going for you all, I have had a very enjoyable few months with family and friends.
Have spent a lot of time eating (too much), drinking and laughing with the special people in my life. 
My eldest daughter, Stephanie left for Mexico and Argentina on Dec.1 and will return March 12th, for her studies, you don't realise how much you miss your kids until they are away.
Have been a little creative with my beautiful cousin Sandra (seated), we made these clay heads, which we now have hanging in our gardens.... 

-Pic.1 was my first attempt which I quite like.

Pic. 2 is Sandra's piece, she has always been so artisitic, 
so of course this is gorgeous-

this is my 2nd go, but I don't like this one very much.....

We used air dry paper clay, when dry, we painted with 'stone effect' paint we found at Bunnings.....













Anyway, I want this year to be full of new endeavors and I want to try new things, but the last couple of weeks I've been telling myself, now it's time to get creative and get myself motivated, I've started working on a new doll, will share pics soon.
I'm determined to dive into some collage art, more clay experimentation and more new art dolls.....
and I'm going to post on this blog much more so stay tuned....

By the way, why not take a class, check out my workshops running at the moment.
