Arte y Pico Award

I have had a double honor....of having this Arte y Pico award bestowed upon me, twice! First from the lovely and creative Sue of Sacred Circle Mandalas . If you've not yet visited her blog...get ready! Sue creates some of the most incredible natured-sourced digital mandalas I've ever seen. Sue definitely has an affinity to the plant world, and for touching our heart and soul with her art.
.
My friend Pattie of ...well now let's see, which one of her blogs should I mention :) - OK...Pattie of Artfully Yours! Pattie is an amazing, self-taught artist...that alone blows me away. She designs everything, but lays claim to "surface desinger". Pattie designs art for walls, ceilings, murals; creates items for swaps and, tranforms dollar store merchandise into priceless keepsakes. I can't even name everything that Pattie creates. She has also been freatued several times in numerous art publications.
.
Both Sue and Pattie are members of the very kindred online community I started, called: The Mandala Oasis. Most of all - Sue's and Pattie's art and their presence in my life and our world makes everything a lot more beautiful. I thank you ladies for sharing this award with me.
