This month I wanted to offer a giveaway that is so close to my heart. Part of this new discovery of mine in Plaster and Wax. A small piece that sat with me on my table as I created my Inspiration Tree in real life (more to come on that this Sunday!), explored new techniques with burlap and plaster and whilst I got messy beyond belief and felt so much joy.
This little completely hand-made piece is approx 3×5 inches (1/4 inch deep). Molded with plaster. Washed with acrylic, waxed and then the small markings hand marked through the wax.
I’ll choose a winner randomly next week (Wed/Thurs) Good Luck and Happy Weekend All Xx
i love your piece~
i think i would do one with a simple tree of life on it. (because i'm obsessed with trees right not) and the quote would be "flow with grace"….from my yoga practice…..
i'm doing stephanie and judy's online class coming up! can't wait to learn!!
thanks for your generous giveaway.

i meant to say…."obsessed with trees right NOW!!!….

Thank you for such a lovely offering. I would love to win. I will be taking Stephanies class. I plan to do a tulip…or maybe a lily, yes, I think I'll do a lily, and just write the word somewhere on the background.
I would re-make 2 small book covers and wired pages…since they became moldy! I'd wrapped them in bubble wrap and didn't unwrap them until yesterday…still wet!! eeeeewwwwww!!!
your classmate,

wow! this piece looks so kewl! I just wanna touch it! I would probably make a panel with the number 3 in it. it is our family number. I might add a heart and maybe a peace sign. again both symbols of our family. looks like you had great fun! happy weekend! ciao!
I've never worked in plaster before. I imagine I would attempt something abstract and organic with lots of color. Thanks for the chance to win your beautiful work!

I would choose a heart with the words 'Love always'

*very interesting medium
I would probably use a key. I'm waiting and believing for some new doors to open in my life.
an inspiration tree!!!! oooo I can't wait to see more.
I think my little block would be Kandinsky inspired in shades of colbalt blue, bright red, lime green, and teal. With lots and lots of gold.
I think I'd go easy on the words – maybe just a big "BELIEVE" across it.

i would make an acorn. it indicates fall is in the air…my favorite time of year. no text, at the moment!! what a great giveaway. thank you for the chance. i love stephanie lee~!!
I have not worked with plaster for many years, and I love your piece. It inspires me to have a 'play' myself as you made it sound such fun.
I'm not sure what image I would put on mine, but I would write the word I have chosen for this year – INTUITION. It would remind me to follow my heart and not my head.
I might chose a heart to represent love.
Glad your having fun with your newly learned skills.
Fondly,
Glenda
I have to tell you how cool this is, I just love your piece. I can't wait for Stephanie and Judy's online class. I definitely want to explore plaster. Right now I am really into birds. There would probably be some kind of inspiration word, not sure what but words yes.
I love this lovely small piece. I also love words, I might add the word "spring"…
I love this piece!! I just finished a painting of a Buddha with a flower and if I was able to use your technique, I would do a seated Buddha with the word Peace.
I love this~
I would do a dragonfly because the minute my mom died they became so very important to my family and me. We love them and always think of her.

oooo Louise~ this makes me want to try plaster. Your pieces are just lovely! What a fun and inspirational class you must have had. I am crazy for leaves and organic pieces. I'd make one with leaves and a pod- the words "seeds of inspiration" would have to be on it somewhere…. hmmm plaster eh?
thanks for sharing the photos of your plaster pieces…..look wonderful…if I was making one now I would use a banskia seed pod imprint and a couple of imprints of its leaves as well…
I am off to research plaster now 😉
thanks Jodi 🙂
