Visit to the Museum | Sculptures

My goal this month was to visit more museums. There is a wonderful exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. called "Power and Pathos".  Click on the link  for more information on the exhibit.  It presents 50 bronze sculptures and related works, dating from the fourth century BC to the first century AD.  I couldn't believe I was walking so close to works of art from thousands of years ago! 

 


This gave me an idea of sculpturing using modeling clay. I made a bird and an Easter Island-like sculpture (it kind of looks like one of the current presidential candidates).  - JM

Around The Home (Christmas Edition)

I used material around my home: 1.) green yarn +  bare wreath = winter wreath; 2.) old wooden sign + acrylic paint with holiday phrase + snowflake stickers = holiday sign;  and 3.)  cards  + pipe cleaner + shiny stickers = Christmas cards.    Happy Holidays! ~ JM
