This is a big cheat. I made this shrine of my Great Grandmother for my mother’s Christmas present; obviously made months ago, but Parental Unit insisted I be a big greedy showoff.
There are no ceramic embellishments involved, but every detail included represents my favorite memories of her. She was a trail blazer without apologies. She lived hard and gentle and did as she pleased. An excellent role model.
Thank you for indulging Terry and me: letting the www and the Awfully Big Art Adventure know Velma exsisted, was respected, feared, admired and loved. michele

How lovely, I have made a couple of shrines, this one rekindles my energies once again. Now I am inspired to make one in memory of my Mom, who I miss so very much, as she passed away in 2005.
Thank you, Barbara
