Heather Kent December's featured artist



So We have chose the wonderfully talented Heather Kent to be our featured artist for December. She handpaints these wonderful water color necklaces and large paintings of dogs. you can see her work on etsy or at her blog. even keep up to date with her on twitter. Links will be listed below.


Q.) How long have you been creating and what really got you into it?

A.) I have been creating art all my life in one way or another. I started drawing and painting at a very young age, and have always had a craft I was doing, whether it was making cards, crocheting, collages, jewelry, painting, drawing, sewing or sculpting. I can't handle not having a creative project. I started making my hand painted necklaces in the end of August, and haven't looked back. :)

Q.) How would you tell someone off the street what it is you do?

A.) I tell them I make hand painted necklaces which are miniature paintings that I have glued onto a pendant and applied a clear coating for protection. I say I also do
dog portraits and other original paintings.







Q.) Is there any one thing you love to create?

A.) I honestly enjoy creating anything and everything but I absolutely LOVE making these hand painted necklaces. They are so beautiful and special and satisfying.


Q.)Where do you draw your inspiration from?

A.)Most of my pieces reflect things in general that make me happy. Nature, animals, fun objects, etc. I make a conscious effort to only make paintings and necklaces of things I would like to have in my house, or around my neck.

Q.)Do you ever want to try something but don't know how? If so what is it?

A.)Oh wow yes! There are so many projects I would absolutely LOVE to do. One of them is metal work. I would love to make my own frames, and sculptures. I also would love to have my own kiln and be able to do ceramics whenever I pleases. I could go on and on about things I would love to do, but those are the 2 main ones.




Thank you Heather please keep an eye on Heather here at these links.

featured artist starting soon

So we here at T.H.C. are going to be featuring a new artist every month (that we can find a willing participant) every once in awhile an unwilling one will do.just kidding.

What we would like to do is find out what compels the artist to create, how they feel when creating. And try to create a connection between artist and viewers so everyone can feel connected,

Basically spread positive energy throughout everyone.

Whoo getting that first sale on artfire was exciting. I got the email about 1:30 am. So excited I still haven't slept. I am inspired to create more. I just have to keep my body moving.

It's a wonderful feeling knowing that a piece of art we created will be in someones home in california. I think I am about to pass out from exhaustion though.

we are all connected




Click here for direct purchase

Over the past few days I have felt stronger and stronger about how everyone is on a path in life. Although, we may not stay on the exact path we were just on in life. Inevitably, all paths end in the same place.

Some paths may even cross, some may run together for awhile, and others are together from start to finish.

In short, we are all connected.

perception of time




Click here for direct purchase


more and more time has realyy become nothing more than a perception to us. People always ask us what time are you coming over? when you gonna get here? no we can never be late. This lovely little creation spawned from my saw blade clocks and we use recycled wrist watches that we gut and then implant polymer clay hand sand and then polish for added smoothness and shine. I love the look on people's face when they ask us for the time now.

Enlightenment


Last night we were out in the backyard with our fire staff and poi. We got so far off in the moment it was like being on another plane of existence. All the day to day stress melted away and we were left with a feeling of ease. Our souls came closer together and merged into one beautiful being.
