    OOOh, thanks, Gretchen! I'm going to try my hand at a Freya image -

     "Goddess of Love, Attraction, Sexuality, Magick, Healing, & Women's Power" - my kinda gal!

     

    And Zura - I had a look at Cindy Couling and I LOVE her work! And I'm flattered to be reminiscent of her!

    I'm sure I could, Ramona - do you have specific images I could see for inspiration??

    P.S. I love your name!

     

     

    Gretchen, I drew a few new Goddesses this weekend - Freya among them.

    I'll scan them this weekend - weekdays just don't seem long enough to do all I want to do!

    Okay Tracey...no rush.  My schedule is all messed up this week anyway. :)  This is exciting, though.  I'm looking forward to seeing them. :)  My web page about Freya hit a new high for visits per week today.

    Here are the ones I've done lately.

    The sizes don't match - the first set are shorter than the second set, even though they look bigger!

    Thanks Donna!

    I'm designing a Goddess bookmark/business card for a friend who does Shiatsu massage - I love bookmarks that are business cards! She wants her info with a Goddess under it to give out - plain cardstock ones for mass distribution and Vellum ones for customers and such. I think they're going to look SO cool!

    Hi Tracey,

    Your goddesses are so flowing, organic, and so calm.  I was reminded of the first goddess I learned about in Art History - the "Venus" of Willendorf, a limestone sculpture only 4 1/8" in height and dated 30,000-25,000 BC!  It is one of the earliest known representations - isn't it wonderful that today we are still paying homage to the goddess.  Although yours' look very different than the "Venus", they are both superb - keep creating them, Tracey!

     A couple books that might further inspire you are: "Myths of the Female Divine Goddess" by David Leeming and Jake Page, Oxford University Press, 1996; the other one is "Goddesses for Every Season" by Nancy Blair, Element Books, 1995.  It is a collection of 52 goddesses; one for every week. By the way, "Brigit" is included on Page 100 as the Celtic goddess of poetry, medicine, inspiration and metalcraft.

    Tracey,

     Great hair on your latest goddesses. These are really nice. Do you sell them? if so, what's your price>>

     Tracey,

    Love your Goddess designs! They are so energetic and have great personalities.

    In fact, I am so excited about the responses here to yours, that I am starting a thread here titled "Goddess Art".

    Re: Look what I made this week!

    Thanks, chameleon - the Venus of Willendorf was also the first Goddess I learned about, way back in art history class. I'm going to check for those books in the library this coming week. Thanks for the info!

    Thanks, Heather! I do sell them - $4 each, or 3 for $10. Happy to hear such positive comments - nice to know other people like them as much as I do!

     Thanks, Pat. I'm going to go look!

    Hi Tracey,

    Oh my gosh, I was so excited to see an envelope from you today with the three goddess bookmarks you created!  They are so awesome and will always be treasured.  I wish you much success in your artwork - the time, detail, and concept are well done - thanks.
