Domino pendant and matching card

erin2011sml

I made a pendant using a domino stained with brown and an  image from riandesign.  The image is an anatomical image of a woman which I think Erin will like as she is studying nursing and is interested in midwifery.  The bail is antique bronze and the ball chain is an antique brown colour which matches the ink.  I enlarged the same image for the card and I painted a little papier mache box with similar colours to the background patterned paper.  The flower and leaves on the box look similar to the ones in the image.

Art journal week38: Lucky

The prompt for week 38 on the ukstampers weekly challenge is Lucky
  • Are you a lucky person? Materially or otherwise?
  • What is the luckiest thing that ever happened to you?
  • Use a lucky charm on your page
I guess I am, like most people, sometimes lucky and sometimes unlucky.  I have never won a big prize, but I have won a few small prizes.  My overall health is ok but ageing takes it’s toll on wheelchair users in a variety of ways.  I have a great family and a few dear friends.  It is only when you really think about it that you realise just how fortunate you really are.
The unluckiest thing that has happened to me would be that I broke my back in a road traffic accident.   The luckiest thing would be that it could have been so much worse.
