Fly Away....

"Oh, Lord, have mercy, she said.

  If I could just borrow a pair of angel wings,

 I'd fly away. 

               Yes I would.

                                        I'd just fly away.

                                                         Fly away."

Loving the mixture of Verdi gris & Copper Feathers!

Copper feathers attached to a rebar/hardware cloth base.

"Luminary's" Wings.  Almost done with one side.
That is a lot of wiring; about 40 hours already; and one side to go.
As of today (7/24/10) I am almost done with side 2. Did run out of copper
feathers, don't ya know; ordered more to finish.

The "Light" offering of Luminary- the Light Bringer.
And the start of her mosaic shawl.  Only 60 days until
@ArtPrize installation @GRCivicTheatre!

Take a walk through artist, Charis Moblo's "garden" and find inspiration at every turn. Charis has created art for many years which has been displayed in galleries in Grand Rapids & Kalamazoo, Michigan, and Cleveland, Ohio's Little Italy neighborhood, an art lover's dream walk.

As long as I've known her (about 30 years), she has inspired me with her whole being, because she exudes such a beauty from her soul, and it shows in her artwork, no matter how small the piece.

A few of her cards...

Her sentiments seem to grab you & make you feel a connection...

Her decorating skills have always blown me away, she creates the most amazingly warm abode space I've ever had the pleasure of visiting...Here is her dining room, with samples of her little purses.

Here is one of the many inspiring signs she creates to remind us of our own joy...

For a long time she created these and many other incredible "Story Book People", each with a different story to share.

And now is creating a different kind of "Story Person", fun, quirky and lovely ones at that!

A couple of her awesome shoulder bags...

Another view of her dining space with daily inspirations on the chalkboard...

Visit with Charis and her art and you will be a changed person!
