Zelvolutions: My Newest Pattern Filling Projects

What the Bleep Girl and Palm Tree Girl
Ever since I moved to the desert, I miss the beach terribly.
So it keeps wending its way into my artwork. Today's watercolor and pen and ink painting started as a wood nymph and morphed into a girl standing in the ocean. Weird how my subconscious mind takes over sometimes.
I also got photos of yesterday's 'What the Bleep Do We Know' painting. I really like it. I had in mind what kind of art journal painting I'd do if I only had a big enough art journal. Just imagine it in a journal.The dots represent the chakrahs. The snake represents the Kudalini energy and regeneration.
The vines behind her dress are from the grape vines in my backyard. The dress idea came from a 1940's dress pattern I saw on Pinterest. This is done in opaque watercolor and pen.

The Bleep Girl
What better way to start the new year than with a new mixed media painting. I am almost done, but I didn't take photos of most of it yet. I got so into it, I forgot. But I'll share the photos I took so far.
It is a metaphysical painting based on the film What The Bleep Do We Know. It has the chakra circles, some sayings inspired by the movie and a serious looking girl. The paint is opaque watercolors. The blue tape is to keep the watercolor under control and I've already removed it.

Elephant Boy and Wandering Man
The Lucerne Valley Art Show was a wake up call for me. I've been spending so much time on crafts and very little on fine art. For the show I finished an assemblage I'd started a long time ago. I had painted 2 frames black way back when and figured out the elements for the first assemblage. So I finished that one, and then I made another one with a dried apple head I'd just finished. At the art show the assemblages are one thing that stopped people in their tracks, rather than just walking past another landscape.
My art was the weirdest art there.

Four Halloween Gourds Ready To Go
I just put the final touches on my Halloween gourds. I wish I'd gotten them into my Etsy shop sooner, but it is what it is.
If you want me to reserve one for you speak up quick. They will be under $10 each.

Anti-Fashion Poster
I've seen so many other posters floating around Facebook that I've decided to make some of my own. This is my first one. Feel free to put it on Facebook or Pinterest as long as my copyright stays intact.
This one is my commentary on how women are made to feel ugly because they aren't skin and bones like many supermodels.

Monoprints by Fayme Zelena Harper

| Veil Dancer |
I want to make new monoprints. Here are some I already made years ago. Paper is
fragile and many of these got lost or damaged over the years. At least I
have the photos. What I want to do is make oracle cards with the new batch. I'll pick the 50 best ones and put them on a mediumship deck for readings.
