Miracles Do Happen, OOAK by marisol diaz

Last week was my first Tantalizing Tuesday Segment and I know of at least one (blogless) reader who actually made a painting inspired by the photo! Yay! Now STAINBOY owns a copy of the first Tantalizing Tuesday Dying Flower Print! So we're going to keep at this giveaway thing and hope to grows. This week the image is about miracles, like this baby boy fairy just born onto a precarious nest out in the woods! He is hand-sculpted (no molds) with polymer clay. But as a creative, your thoughts on miraculous things can be an offshoot to anything, a poem, a sketch, a doodle, a thought, a polymer figure like the one in the picture...anything goes! Leave me a link to your Tantalizing Tuesday response and you may be eligible to win a print of this week's miracle baby (makes a great gift for new moms!!). ]]>http://www.amarettogirl.com/art-giveaways-tantalizing-tue/2008/11/19/tantalizing-tuesday-inspiration-for-creatives.htmlAmarettogirl2008-11-19T00:42:52Z2008-11-19T00:42:52ZDead Flower by marisol diaz

There is an inherent beauty in all living things - and if you train your eye - there is an inherent beauty in all things dying as well. Personally, I gravitate towards these things and love to photograph them - as you can see in my 'On Dying' gallery. I think a lot of us do - after all Fall leaves are burning red in the highlight of their death! So here is a new feature of my blog - Tantilizing Tuesdays where I share something INSPIRATIONAL for all of you creatives out there! How could this image inspire you? I like the symmetry and the texture of the petals as they wither... And if you happen to do something inspired by the image or words I post - Please, Please leave a comment with a link so that I can see and possibly write a post about your great artistic feat!! lastly this may be a great way to rekindle my art giveaways - if you link me with something you did - you may win the print! ]]>
