Diva Challenge #49

An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet regardless of time, place or circumstance.

The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break.” -Chinese proverb

Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE quotes and I actually keep a journal of quotes that really “speak to me”. I have added this one to my collection. This week’s Diva’s Challenge is by guest challenger, Cris Letourneau, a CZT from Ohio. Her friend Sonya is VP of an organization called The Red Thread Promise. This organization helps children, both here and abroad, by providing medical treatments and other essentials that we often take for granted. Cris’s desire to help inspired this challenge to make a traditional black and white Zentangle with a single red “thread” passing through it. If you would like to help with Cris’s “Red Thread” project check out her blog, Tangled Up in Art to help make a difference for the children of the world. Here is my tile that will soon be on its way to join many others for this wonderful cause.

Local Radio Station Anniversary Celebration

diane — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 22:10:16 +0000

To celebrate, 33 1/3 years on-the-air for WORT and Rockin’ John McDonald, WORT is having a benefit party on Saturday, April 18th at the Crystal Corner Bar in conjunction with International Record Store Day. The party will include a live auction and silent auction of record platter art created by local artists and celebrities.

When I heard about the call for artwork, I thought it sounded like fun since the only requirement was to use any size vinyl record in the piece. I forgot it about it until I happened to be at St. Vinnie’s one day and started looking at the records. When I saw this Bossa Nova record, I was so inspired that I couldn’t resist (although I will admit that I didn’t commit to the auction until I saw how it turned out). I hope it does well in the auction since I listen to WORT when I’m in the studio. This piece layers three images with acrylic paint, acrylic medium, oil pastel, and ink. If you are interested in bidding on it but can’t make it to the party, please let me know. I’m sure arrangements can be made for a proxy bidding.
