Obsession #4

Swirl Drawings

A while ago I developed a fascination with incorporating words into swirl designs... 

 Walking the firebreak around our community, I'd randomly stop and create designs on the ground... It gave me something to do, especially without anyone else around...

This was a drawing I entered into a competition... I didn't get anywhere with it, but it was given the title 'Internal Storm'. I was attempting to kinda capture the internal battle that most females go through to try and be who they are, yet satisfy their desire to be loved. And to show that each person is the 'perfect you'. 

On my recent mission trip to Thailand, we were helping renovate the orphanage. One of the things we did was paint a Noah's ark mural on a wall that we had previously rendered. On one part of it, Bianca (a very talented artist) painted the dove and I did the swirly heart around it. Within the end of each swirl is a gold dot. :D The children loved it - this is me with little Toong Chai in front of it. :)

My most recent piece was based around friendship. There's a total of 8 words hidden in this design. :D

Because I can custom make them for families/individuals etc, I'm considering looking into starting my own small business with these. It would enable me to be self employed (wooh!) and work at my own pace for everything... But only time will tell.. :)

Keep smiling!
