Reading my blog, you all know that I like to recycle my art. And that's exactly what I did with my she art girls. I took these images--
Plus a couple of new she art "faces"--
And I put them here--
on this mirror! This really is a mirror. I just covered up the mirror part--you wouldn't want to see my reflection when I took this photo--not a pretty sight : )
And since it's a mirror, I want to remind anyone who looks into it--these daily thoughts to remember--
And when I think of it, this was a great piece to make to go with Christy's last lesson. The lesson is all about making it personal by using copies of personal letters, your children's artwork, old ticket stubs, cards you received, etc. So wouldn't this be great as a picture frame with your personal memorabilia on it and then adding a family photo? Or how about copies of brochures, receipts--you know things that you collect on a vacation that you've taken, like for instance --New York City ; )
You get the point--I think that this type of art is great when it's personalized.
And before I leave, I have another giveaway that I want to tell you about. Manon, another extremely talented artist is giving away this beautiful box--
Gorgeous!!
You can go HERE to enter your name, and look around if you've never been to Manon's blog before--you will LOVE!

You did an awesome job! Love the little affirmations, too. :)
Diane! How clever. I love the idea you gave of adding memorabilia to the the mirror as well. I wonder where you will hang your mirror? Near your fancy cups and other pictures? Just love it!
Your mirror is so gorgeous,love the girl with the birds on her hair. And such a perfect idea to put those words around a mirror. Little reminders!
What a great idea Diane and this one is so beautiful. Wonderfully creative and deeply meaningful.
Genius! Gorgeous turn out! Are you gearing up for shows yet?

Hello Diane! Thank you for the comment you left in my blog. It means a lot to me.
I love the recycling concept. The quotes you placed in the mirror is so fitting.
Diane, I love the remix you did with the She Art you made through the workshop. The frame looks FABULOUS, what a great idea! :)
I love this recycled frame Diane, it's so important to personalise art sometimes and strangely I have just blogged a journal page where I used bits and pieces collected on a trip to Venice a few years ago.
Diane you rock!! I love what you did with your she art pieces! Beautiful! Always love your color palette! And great words you chose to include as well! You know I am a fan of recycling my art! ;)
Diane, this is gorgeous! I love it!
Hugs and blessings
I love how you take old pieces of your own art and move them around to make even more wonderful things. A mirror with affirmations is a brilliant idea! Thanks for heads up about a giveaway and new blog to visit too.
The mirror- is fantastic, Diane- and the girls, so sweet there- and we should all remember to just be ourselves.
Hugs,Dorthe
I've never seen anyone create so many wonderful and interesting things as you do....pretty incredible....it just seems to FLOW out of you!!! This mirror is great and I think all mirrors should have the same messages!!! Thank you talented girl!!!! Lovely....and I look forward to the next and the next thing!!! Did you copy the old dog cartoon I have on my blog....like Bob? It must be from the forties as the other stuff it was with from my Mom tucked in that book were the same age!...not sure.....it just reminded me of BOB!
WOW...the mirror is gorgeous and I love the affirmations too! Great job, Diane!
