i once in a while do pick up a pencil. This is not a model or myself in acutality but how i felt inside this large shell.

i call her "Every Woman" since this is what can lie inside each and evry one of us women.

"Every Woman"

Kaya-Nita,

What a wonderful "venus"! I love the elegant curves. Her headless-ness puts me in mind of some of the ancient goddess statues. Every woman, the goddess-within. Very nice.

To me, the headless-ness reminds me to just allow myself to "be" without trying to analyse everything (a bad habit I have).
Very thought-provoking!

Mee-gwitch you two.

She is headless because it helps so others can place their image upon her. This is why she is every woman or can be.

She came from the way i was made to feel about myself by Man Horse years ago. Though now going our seperate ways now. At that time in my life he made me feel as this body of mine was just the shell that carried this beautiful woman around inside.

Shame those feelings no longer exisit but the drawing remains. :-D

I can see it that way easily... It's not "de-personalizing" women, but in fact personalizing, since everyone who looks may impose their own vision of the face upon her... whoever she is, whatever her race, whatever her expression, whatever she means to that indicvidual viewer... that is a powerful concept, not non-woman, but all women, in all time, all places, all lives both lived and yet to live...
blessings, Peter

Beautiful, still as good as the first time I saw it, if not better. Its a strange feeling seeing an image like this and knowing full well you know that woman.

Love

Hawky

Mee-gwitch gentelmen,
i figured it was time she came out of the closet and shared with others not just collecting dust bunnies. The origanal would not scan proerly since it was so light but a copy scanned real well. i have gone over the origanal and no matter how i have tried i can't make it darker or the lines anyway. It is as if no matter how hard or soft the touch of the pencil(Charcoal) nothing shows up... so i leave her be as is...as she has seemed to demand.

Has anyone else have this happen...i mean no matter what i can't put a mark on her i've tried. It seems as though she just wont except another line or making lines darker. i even tried to draw on the side of her and nothing and i mean nothing. and i pressed down hard with the pencil and nothing was on the page not even an indentation from the pencil. i did use that very same pencil to draw "Simple Blessings", so i know the pencil works. OH well such if life. :hug:

OH well such if life.

This is one of my favourite expressions!

What if you tried inking it?

by **Kaya-Nita** » 29 Sep 2004, 01:18

Hi Jeb,
i'll be honest i have no clue how to do that and i'm open to suggetions on how this is done. :???:

I'm sure one of the other artists on this board could help you out a bit. I've never used ink so I'm not much use to you.

I think some of the entries last eisteddfod were ink. It might be as simple as just tracing over the pencil lines with ink... I dunno.

Ask Merlyn or Copperlion...

this is beautiful indeed. Perhaps you are unable to darken and define it because of what she represents. No limits.

Peace and blessings,
Colm

So beautiful! Like a whisp of spirit... full of soul, but every woman's soul. Kaya-Nita, you created true beauty!
