50th anniversary
* for an english version please scroll down - thanks (-:
my parents celebrated their 5oth wedding anniversary a month ago and it was quite an emotional time for all of us - they made us promise no surprise parties and no extravaganza to mark this but we still wanted to celebrate it for it is such a unique landmark - 50 years of love, friendship and building a family, sharing and learning what's important and being there for each other.

happy birthday dad
ליום ההולדת של אבי השנה ציירתי את הציור כמתנה ואז התפניתי להכנת הכרטיס
החלטתי ללכת על כל המאפיינים של סין והמקומות שהם יטיילו בהם אז הוספתי שמש מלבד, פרפרים מנייר בשתי שכבות (אני כ"כ אוהבת את האפקט שהם נותנים)
צירפתי ציור סיני שציירתי כשחשבתי שזה יהיה כרטיס הברכה (ידעתי שהסדנא תשתלם בעתיד-וכיף להמיר את הציור הגדול לכרטיסים קטנים
נורא רציתי להוסיף אורז אבל התחבטתי אם להדביק ואז פשוט הכנסתי גרגירים לתוך מפל שקוף ותפרתי מסביב
מיותר לציין שאבא שלי הצליח לפצח את הרמזים ואז כבר התחילו התוכניות והמעבר על תוכנית הטיול....הדבר היחיד שהטריד את אחיין שלי היה ש"אנחנו לא נהיה פה שבועיים")-כי כל שישי זה ארוחת ערב משפחתית מלאה-מתוק אמיתי הילד הזה
בתוך הכרטיס שילבתי 2 כרטיסי קלפים על סין מחבילה של נשיונל ג'אוגרפיק-שני אתרים שהם יבקרו בהם בטוח
וכמובן שקופון ותוית של שקית תה - כי תה ואורז יש בסין....
מאחלת להם את הטיול הכי מקסים שיכול להיות - אנחנו נתגעגע,זה בטוח
we celebrated my father's birthday last night.
for his birthday i made this portrait and after this eas down from my list - i was free to make him a birthday card.
my father has dreamed on visiting china for some years now but somehow work andlack of time has allways been in the way.
well my brothers and i decieded no more - because it was my parents 50th anniversary this year (i knoe i know - a post is coming) - this is the perfect gift to them - so in 2 months time they are off for 2 whole weeks in china - yay for them.
i decieded that the card would symbolize their suprise destination so i stamped hero arts passport stamp for bachground, using acrylics, added felt sunshine, butterflies and a painting i drew (that was supposed to be the card at first)
i then added rice which i put inside a sewn self made clear bag
after he got all the clues right and was excited about the surprise the inside of the card was more clear - 2 cards of china from a stack i've had for ages (that shows you-never throw anything lol)
and a coupon for... tea - of course
hope they have the best trip ever - i know we'll miss them a lot.

recognize these eyes?
ואז מגיע שלב בחירת וערבוב הצבים ותחילת צביעת הפנים בגוונים המתאימים
i've been painting for almost 10 years now but only recently discovered the magic of painting in oil. for the most part of my painting through the years i had an itch - i wantes to start a painting and see almost immidiatlly results.so for the past year i've been painting in oil and loving every minute of it - trying new mixtures, putting on layers and seeing a painting come to life in another form and techinque is so vigurating - and i'm so excited about discovering and learning and branching out.
so for the past 2 months i've been painting (and really taking my time with it) the picture of the aphgan girl who was on the national geograpic here.
this photo has allways mesmorised me with her eyes and look of fright...
so when i decieded to take on painting a portrait i knew this would be the first. and it was hard and frustrating at times but mostly challenging-i learned so much and it gav me a prespective and a new found way to look at people and situations that serround me.
so, without any more words i give you my first portrait-hope you enjoy.

my creative space-mini patisserie
לכבוד החנוכה: הכנתי סופגניות מיניאטוריות -הנאה מובטחת וללא קלוריות
לעוד רעיונות היכנסו לכאן
so another week has passed (and boy oh boy the year is about to end) and my space is filled with projects in final stages.
sometimes i wish i could stop and focus on one thing at a time, but i can't - i'm a multi task person and i just love the intensity of it all, both in my work (as tireing as it can be sometimes, and with my art)
so i have one more lesson i think to finish this lady, one rainy saturday to go through all of the scrap weekend projects but in the meantime i started the miniature course again (after a long break) and now i'm focusing on building , can you guesse? a patisserie, of course.
so we started building the room (this time we'll be using the mini solarium by IKEA) and i've been making cakes, breads and everything surrounding this.
and tomorrow is the first day of Hanukkah so i have some miniature festive donuts - low calories-guarenteed LOL
it's so much fun - i just enjoy this work.
go over to kootoyoo for more fun and creative spaces.
