When Jackie came to her first meeting with the Mixed Media Artists of Northern California group, she brought some show and tell. I remember she was carrying a purse that sported yarns of brilliantly colored strips of sari silks. That wasn't for show and tell, but we all oohed and aahhed over it. Four little spirit dolls were something she brought to share. Two of them she gifted to me later, and they live on my covered deck, overlooking my garden.
The other pics are a bowl made of sari silk yarn and wires, and an envelope construction she made later on. I just wanted to share them here.
When she got home from her first long hospitalization, and faced chemo head on, she wanted to make art but found it too taxing. The one thing she could do was sit and fold, so she learned to make origami cranes. Her goal was to make 1000 which would give her good luck and hopefully help her heal. Suzanne, of the Lodi Mixed Media group, sent her a package of papers and other things to help her with her crane project.
