Art Process Parrot

 




Integrating art and mental health can be a game changer to get unstuck and heal. Being present with materials and process allows expression and release and of the unspeakable. This acknowledgment results in validation and understanding. The beginning of healing!

Lora (parrot)
Palm husk, cholla, date palm seed branch, paper, seed pod, tape, beads

My new project is inspired by my friend’s Amazon Parrot, nature and invention!
It took awhile to figure how to make the head. It ended up being quite simple, newspapers wrapped with masking tape then coated with gesso. The seed pod beak turned out perfect once fit into the newspaper before wrapping. Paper feathers will cover the head.
Next I have to figure out how to connect the head to the husk…stay tuned!

The process results in happiness and inspiration , a foundation to maintain good mental health!
Art Heals!!!
Art on y’all!!!
