Is it Cleopatra? Or maybe its just the inscription you wrote that makes me think of her. Whoever she is, she has been surrounded by your beautiful work. I love it! Crystal
Hi Crystal, I had not thought of Cleaoatra. My first thought when I saw her, beside a vague sense of familiarity, was that she was an ancient pagan princess, Cetic maybe or actially a Victorian woman dress up as one. But it came back to me that she may be Sophia Schleiman (spelling?) the Greek wife of the German guy that found Ancient Troy. I saw a picture of her sometime in the past. He dressed her in some of the jewelry he found or forged depending on who you believe.
I love your most recent post, the anatomy poster, the verses... Yesterday, I volunteered at a local art museum. It was an anual membership/comunity outreach day with demos and kids hands on activities. I've done it before. I brought large foam stamps, portfolio water soluable oil pastels, and large sheets of printer paper to stamp on wet. Kids and some grown-ups really get into it! I had a lovely black college student helping me. She said she was not artistic but I proved her wrong! I said she needed to try the technique so she would know how to help the kids. She had fun and did 8-10 beautiful sheets; she said she would put them on her dorm wall. I told her I thought she was artistic and after all, she was made in the image of the great Creator/Artist God. Her face lit up and she agreed!
Molly Jean, I was thinking the same thing about it being the wife of the German guy whose name I don't remember. I did watch a show about it a few months ago, and I think it is her. She was Greek if I remember correctly.
