Since I am the author of this blog, my profile is already posted. Just to add - in college, "back in the day," I studied drawing and painting. But this was the sixties, and I dropped out before graduating. Then I raised six amazing human beings - truly my life's great creative work! Became a massage therapist and always did something by way of artistic expression.
In the last two years I started making "icons" from rusted #10 restaurant tin cans. The patinas created by nature captured my imagination. Embellishing the surface with beads and paints is a very special, almost sacred process. First I made crosses, then mandalas and hearts, and winged hearts.
The word Mandala means magic circle in Sanskrit. They have been drawn throughout the ages by many peoples of the world. The Mandala represents the cosmos and the unification of duality. They create sacred space and foster inner peace, so are great for a meditation area.
My tin art is for sale, and ranges from $15 to $35.00. Please contact me at suswa2@gmail.com if you are interested. Thankk you.
