regevdl Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Hi FDR friends, I have been in the process of pursuing a more creative aspect of my life in the last years. ...on top of being a staunch Democrat to Blue Republican to Libertarian to Minarchist to AnarchoCapitalists. lol LOTS of shedding these last few years! Anyway, I do a lot of work with paper such as folded book art, quilling (paper rolling) jewelry and mosaics, etc. (you can see what I mean at the Facebook page Stylish Indulgence). I recently pushed my limits and dug deep to find out how much I have inside of me and created something I didn't even know I was capable of. It scared the living S*** out of me to be quite honest. But I am slowly embracing it. lol I entered this particular piece in an online contest. It's nothing much, just a contest to win a LOT more supplies I need to make more art and jewelry and such. But I am doing it to get some exposure and honest feedback from non-partisans. Can you please take a minute to visit the link and click 'like' on your favorite. The one with the most 'likes' will win the contest. I think they are taking 'like votes' until the 11th or 12th of October. Even if mine isn't your favorite, that's ok. All the entrants put a lot of time and focus on their pieces and deserve as much exposure as I do, so I hope this is as much of a service to them as me. The link below will take you directly to my submission. If it's your favorite, simply click 'like'. https://www.facebook.com/LittleCirclesEverywhere/photos/a.404776816228352.86386.190412107664825/776927042346659/?type=1&theater You will notice it is a remake of NG cover photo by Steve McCurry's Afghan girl with green eyes. It's made only from coiled paper circles glued together. It took me 35 hours to complete. I almost gave up 3 different times but kept pushing through. Then I vowed to never do a portrait again (this is my first portrait!) and at the end, I was quite stunned with the outcome and feel inspired to do more. I appreciate anyone interested in doing this. I am not sure where to take my art and jewelry, etc from here but I enjoy creating and will take it day by day for the time being as it can be overwhelming. Thanks again everyone! 1
