The Year of the Goat
2015
 |
| Linking up with Art Journal Journey~ Birds,Beasts & Humans |
Today I am sharing a piece that I made for my post over at Altered Pages- my date to post fell perfect on the Chinese New Year celebration!
I started with a piece of hardboard and covered it with Asian Papers from Altered Pages.com
Next I gave them color using Distress Inks and Stains
Here I am auditioning my papers to decide on my layout
I have stamped out a few of the fans from the multi stamp and fancy-cut them
Ahhh, a favorite part...adding glitter and beads-
For the hanger, I used a kitchen skewer and wrapped my vintage lace around it and glued it to the back of the board, using clips to hold in place overnight
A few more details added-microbeads in the flower centers and glitter glue on the red flowers
And the last detail, a lucky cat charm hanging from the lace!
Thank you so much for your visit
I do hope I inspired you to create something today!

It is with regret,that I share some sad news with you today
The mixed media art world has lost a wonderfully gifted , talented and beautiful art sister this week~
JoAnna Pierotti of Moss Hill Studio is resting peacefully now after her long battle with cancer.
For those of you who know of Joanna,or been fortunate enough as I to take one of her classes know what a cleverly kind soul she was and how beautiful her fiber art as well as many other creative pieces are. A very caring, generous woman, who was very brave and fought hard.
We will miss you, JoAnna ,sleep peacefully
~ sending out prayers of healing and wishes of peace to her family and friends

What a fabulous piece this is, Jackie - it has that happy Chinese New Year feel all over it!
So sorry to hear about your art friend. :-(
Your year of the goat piece is wonderful-I love the color on it and those tiny fans are just the perfect touch!! I still have many pieces of candy left--you should stop over and have a piece--I'm pretty good at eating only one piece a day--altho sometimes I just have to have two!! So sorry to hear about JoAnn--I know her name, but can't remember what type of art she did.
This is so wonderfully coloured and layered, Jackie! A beautiful piece! Anything to do with China is so exciting and exotic! I'm very sorry to hear the sad news.
What an awesome piece! I love the fans. I'm sorry about your friend.
What a perfectly wonderful Lunar New Year piece you created dear Jackie. Love every detail!
I did not know JoAnna but she clearly touched many hearts and I am sure she will be missed. Sorry for your loss.

this is a beautiful piece - so much color, texture and imagery, and yet so balanced. Just beautiful Jackie. I was so sorry to hear about JoAnna. I never met her but can tell she was extraordinary. xx
Asian inspired pieces are a fave with me....lovely. I didn't know Joanna, but it is always sad to hear of someone passing before their time.
Sorry to hear that JoAnna died. Your piece is fabulous, perhaps you would like to link it to our Art Journal Journey challenge? Hugs, Valerie
Beautiful, Jackie--love that little cat charm, perfect touch.
So sad about Joanna, what a beautiful and talented lady.
Jackie this is a FABULOUS piece! How super creative and colorful! You really hit the nail on the head with this Chinese New Year piece! I LOVE IT!! So fully of yummy textures as well. My heart is saddened for your friends' family and loved ones and people such as yourself whose life she touched in a special way! I was not familiar with her, however a precious soul lost is still a precious soul lost! Many blessings and prayers to you all!
A perfect piece for the occasion Jackie! It has a real Asian feel to it!
So very sad to hear about Joanna, - sending love, parayers and good thoughts to her family and loved ones....
Jackie, what a beautiful piece, I love it!
I'm so sorry for your friend! I went to her blog and read about her, what a wonderful soul she was. Praying for her family.
Wonderful project Jackie ... this is gorgeous .. so many details...
it's so sad
to hear this about Joanna- I am sorry about this!
First I was very fond of Your Chinese goat, and it is very beautiful...but then I read more and all stopped...
Last year was very sad because we also lost many friends, even one little boy.
I am very sad about Your friend. I am sure You (and all) miss her very much.
This is such a beautiful creation. I love the glitter and glitz of it and the lovely Chinese feel. It reminds me of the colourful art work in Chinatown in London, where the Chinese New Year is always celebrated with enthusiasm and lots of colour! I saw that JoAnna had passed on Kristin Hubick's FB. I did not know her, but she sounds such a wonderful, creative woman. I am sorry to hear the news. xxx
This is a great Chinese New Year dedication piece! Loving all the elements and of course the reds and golds :)
I am so sorry for the loss of JoAnna. May she rest peacefully and may her family and friends find comfort in the life she shared with others.

This is just wonderful Jackie you sure captured the Chinese look so well....I'm so sorry you lost your friend

Fun creation Jackie, nice tribute to Joanna, I took her class at the first Artful Gathering 5 years ago, she was a lovely gal with a gentle soul, wonderful teacher, I treasure the piece I created in her class and her work had a great influence on my art being a newbie online at the time.
Hugs again awesome work'

Wonderful creation with lots of details. Love seeing how you came to the end result. So sorry to hear about JoAnna, some people just have to go way too soon ....
lovely mixed media. Sorry for the loss of your friend.
Oh my NO! when I scrolled to JoAnn's photo I hoped the sad news wasn't about her. I've never met her but feel as if I know her by visiting on line and admiring her work for years in the Stampington magazines. What a loss for the art community. I'm happy you got to take a class with her. I'm so very sorry for your loss of a new artist friendship so short lived. Hugs to you Jackie
Asian has inspired you to create so nice Chinese New Year peace.
Indeed you believe horoscope?
I am sorry to read that JoAnna died. We know it´s time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, a time to reap that which is planted; ...
A great celebration of the Year of the Goat - the gilding and colours are full of joy.
And although the news about JoAnna is very sad - the joy that she clearly brought into your life and that of others is worth celebrating too.

What a lovely project! ♥ Conny
