Personal Altar

I made this altar from scrapes of plywood leftover from building the eaves of our house, the faucets? drilled wood under the eaves for air circulation and screened over so birds won't build nests. This altar has an angel theme, although I'm not big into angels. It also has keys and other symbolic images attached to it. I painted the wood with gold paint. It's hinged to sit on a table nicely.

Free Your Heart From Hatred

This is a multi-media altar that opens and on the inside there is a Rumi poem. It is meant as a sweet look into a spiritual place. The metal tags on the outside say: Free Your Heart From Hatred and Love Your Life.
There is a Flicker feather at the bottom of the box, and on the inside a framed picture of a Buddha.

Messenger of God

A plywood altar, painted with Daniel Smith's gold liquid acrylic, focuses on a Da Vinci drawing printed on a postcard purchased at the Codex show at SAM (Seattle Art Museum). The altar is complete with ginkgo leaves, ceramic shards from Italy, bottle caps, keys, stones, shells, feathers, and more. It is hinged so it stands, rather than hangs.
