Willow & Tara spell imagery with quote

mandala Clamber drawingmandala Surge standing

She embodies beauty, compassion, and divine serenity. Her name means "star" in Sanskrit. Green Tara, surrounded by a celestial mandala design, symbolizing spiritual awakening, inner peace, and compassion. She is a powerful feminine force in both Buddhism and Hinduism. A bodhisattva. This depiction includes tribal accents with a more diverse artist interpretation.

My piece "Something Fishy":http://www.redbubble.com/people/taralemana/art/3371733-2-something-fishy/ is one of my most popular pieces ever. Nonetheless, I keep looking at it and feeling increasingly unhappy with the technical side of it; I see flaws in it every time I look, and often wished I'd been more skilled at Photoshop when I did it. I've always wanted the eye to be more "watery" and the fish to look more like it was actually *in* the eye, not just stuck on top of it. I also felt the original fish was a tad angular as a result of my lacking blending skill...

It's been too long since I did macro photography! I've been focusing on portraiture since getting my DSLR two years ago and have not yet managed to get my hands on a macro lens. Yesterday I got my little Powershot out for a bit of exercise though, and found I still love macro just as much as I ever did! :) This is a macro shot of a tiny water droplet (about 1mm across) on a flower petal. The refraction in the droplet is of the heart of the flower. Canon Powershot, hand held. Unedited except for a slight levels boost. Proudly New Zealand-made. :) Details: f/4.5 1/800 sec ISO 80

When I saw a photo by "Longstock":http://longstock.deviantart.com/ of a model posing in an old fashioned dress holding an umbrella, I had to have a play with it.

Experimenting with pen for a change - this is my first ever roller ball drawing! :) With a hug for Barbara for inspiring me to give it a go!!! :) I don't have access to editing software at the moment so I had to crop this a little more than I would have liked to, so I'll probably upload a new version when I can get PSP back and fix the edges so I don't have to crop them.....but meanwhile, I couldn't wait any longer to put this one on! :) Rollerball on 100gsm cartridge paper. *Featured in "Back in Black":http://www.redbubble.com/back-in-black/ March 2009 Featured in "Finks of Inks":http://www.redbubble.com/groups/finks-of-inks/ April 14th, 2009.* *Featured in "Finks of Inks":http://www.redbubble.com/groups/finks-of-inks/ 7 May...

In a world where people go to extreme lengths to individualise and distinguish themselves, doing so is, somewhat ironically, creating merely another way to be "usual", and forcing ever greater extremes to achieve the desired individuality. BTW, I have nothing against tats, I like them and have one myself - in fact, I was going to incorporate my own tattoo in this piece but it just didn't look right. I...

This one has been sitting unfinished on my PC for a few weeks, I was just not sure what I wanted to do with it until last night when I was reminded of the beautiful song "Autumn Leaves", originally by Edith Piaf (in French, naturally), but beautiful also in its English translation as below. This was one of my favourite songs to sing when I was a teenager and I have wonderful memories of singing this to the beautiful piano accompaniment played by my cousin Anina. :) This is a mixed media piece in which I digitally combined a roller ball drawing I did for the purpose, with a chalk pastel drawing and photographic textures and brushes.
