If you have been keep up with my blog you know that I joined an online blogging book group. The Next Chapter is reading "The 12 Habits of Highly Creative Woman". In Chapter 2 is about Honoring your Inspirations. What have you always loved?
I have always loved ASL and a few years ago I started making things to incorporate my love for ASL into Art: Tags, Jewelry, Canvas, Mixed Media, Christmas ornaments, and even mosaics. I have often donated my ASL Art to benefit different organization in the Deaf Community, such as Deaf Hope.
I love BOTH pieces you have created here! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the fact you use asl. Language is luscious to me too, and when I make art I tend to include words somehow. The use of this particular language is intriguing, since it is a visual language.
ReplyDeleteHi! Thank you for stopping by. I'm glad you found me!! Your art is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! I took ASL about 29 years ago with my daughter, just cause I'd always been intrigued with it. I have been signing (kind of fake-en-sign - from memory & improv) for our praise choir at Church, & folks LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an inspired way to use your love of sign to benefit the Deaf Comm! & to share the lovely signs
I really love that mosaic type piece you made. And the bracelet is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI want them both!! lol
Wonderful pieces.

These are beautiful!! I love the mosaic... I'd like to think that if we ever own a house I'll mosaic the shower or something...

ReplyDeleteBoth pieces are very cool! You're making me want to purchase that book. I've had it on my Wish List on Amazon for a while and haven't bought yet.
