Celebrating the Creative Process
by Jennifer Moore on December 30th, 2009
This new blog has been percolating in my soul for almost a year now. It is a place where I hope to share my experiences and gratitude for the amazing process of tattooing as a healing art and finding beauty in so many things.

Blessed Bees: Myth, Magic & Mystery!
by Jennifer Moore on September 27th, 2009
I’ve created my spread to start my Magic of Bees Moly.
I drew it while listening to the final chapters of Harry Potter #7.
Soon it will be mailed off to the UK for its first contribution from our group moly_x_76.
Jai Maa Kali! Chunky Pages
by Jennifer Moore on September 14th, 2009
I just completed the art for 2 of the PAT chunky pages I am creating for a chunky swap on iATC.com each page is 4″x4″ and made of layers of paper and such (hence the term chunky)
The Kali was done on multiple layers of paper, her hair is on black velvet paper, her crown cut from rose gold origami paper, her face from 90lb sketch paper glued onto the rest, the back has a base of black pastel paper, with more origami paper and then a yantra made from the same 90lb sketch paper. I may chunk her up a bit more with some jewels & doodads and such. I’m gonna let her sit for a few and then figure it out.
The Kami Mizu (God/Spirit Water) was done in layers. The front bottom layer was a piece of scrap book paper which I drew back over and turned into a lake/ocean with a floating lotus. Then I took this really neat transparent interleaving paper and drew a sweet little water spirit/mermaid in a japanese style and then put her over the other page using diamond glaze to add more depth and texture as it gave the very delicate interleaf this awesome watery kind of texture.
On the back I mod podged papyrus to watercolor stock, and wrote the kanji for Kami Mizu and drew a tsunami with opaque markers and gel pens.
In addition I have already created a chunky of colorful dogs last week.
The swap is due Nov 27th. So I’d say I’m nicely on track!
At this point I still have a Taxi View of Coastal Maine, and Alice in Wonderland chunky left to do. It is possible we’ll have one more if someone else joins us.
And then I can really start working on Secret Art Santa in earnest!
swooning
by Jennifer Moore on September 11th, 2009
In my travels tonight I discovered two fabulous links.
I am enthralled with her palette of colors so much red, black and white and her sense of light and the way she does eyes as well as her use of spirals, loving all of it!
The other link which I found through Kelly’s site is a show for
Kokeshi Dolls which has had 3 different exhibits one of traditional ones, and 2 done by contemporary artists! The ones that
really diverge from the traditional are especially exciting to me. The Japanese American National Museum has a bunch of custom dolls for sale some of which are still available.
Oh there are so many glorious and beautiful things to see in this world and I need to go to sleep so I can wake up to see and make more tomorrow!
