A Celebration Give Away
I am an Amma (Grandmother) it happened two weeks ago, when the little bundle was born ten days early in the land of Denmark.
When my son called to tell me the news, I was making little bunting Chrysalis (pupa) figures.
Their faces are made from a silk cocoons, needle felted bodies covered with mulberry fibers, silk hair. Some are embelished with beads and others with silk yarn, all have a loop for hanging.
I frequent many blogs by mixed media artists, who have a lovely habit of sharing their work with their readers.
To celebrate the fact that I am a first time Amma (Grandmother) I would like to give away three of the little Chrysalis figures. All who comment on this post will have their names entered in a pool from which I will draw three winners. Here are photos of some of the Chrysalis. Good luck :)
On “To Live A Creative Life” you can see a photo of our lovely Grandson.

Congratulations to you Amma! My turn hasn't arrived yet, but I am delighted for you! The Chrysalis figures are lovely too, but not *quite* as appealing as your new grandbaby.

Amma Mo'a, He is very handsome. He is.
Your Crysalis figures are so delicate, light and airy looking. I have just the right spot for one. What a great way to celebrate your first Grandchild. (I want one(grandchild)need someone to give me one.)I could go on and on but will just say the figures shine bur you Grandson out shines them. Gail
Mo'a, the Chrysalis are lovely! They look so delicate- as if they were spun by some magical creature. Now I am off to see a photo of this new wee grandson.

Mo'a, these chrysalis figures are out of this world! Put me in the contest, I'm feeling lucky :)
And your grandson is divine!
a beautiful day. This week an ancle is died. So, I see dark, I cry.
every flower that buds I think about him that it is dead.
this child been just born makes me think that the continuous life and it is marvelous.
He was born next to my Country, he is a hope of life, wish! Stef from Italy
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I know how fabulously excited you have been about the arrival of your beautiful grandson and now that he is here you must be over the moon! My sincerest and most heartfelt congratulations for the arrival of the beautiful brand new little soul and on your becoming Amma and to the proud and happy parents!
And thank you for stopping by... I miss you too! Muchos besos from one who thinks of her LovaMóa often and loves her loads!
Mo'a, your new grandson is precious! Please give him a hug from me. Holding babies and petting animals, now THAT is what life's about! Hugs to you and to Baby, as well! :-)

ME! ME! I want a chrysalis! they're not just magical (as is all your artwork) they're divine!
and speaking of divine... your grandson is absolutely gorgeous! congrats to you and Heineken -- and, of course, to your son & daughter-in-law! all good wishes to the newest member of your beautiful family for a life filled with love, peace, and happiness! xoxo
Last night i dreamt I had a baby! Now that is huge news coming from someone who never wants children. Maybe I am changing? And then your little babies face, of what a sweet sweet grandson!!! I am a puddle, just a puddle....
But, then this cocoon creature!!!!Oh between the baby and the creature....No wonder you are floating on clouds.....
xxo, Vanessa
Oh he has beautiful eyes - they look like they could tell many tales! I envy your trip to Denmark, I hope you and yours have a wonderful time! The Chrysalis is a perfect 'birth' symbol, full of cosy comfort and enchantment! Blessings!!!
Your art is truly amazing. As a proud owner of some, though, I think I should stay out of the contest, just praise how cool those little things are and move on to check out the kid. Does he smoke?
oh, I love your little chrysalis fellows! Perfect for spring too! Congrats!
*writes her name quickly on a piece of paper and puts in in teh basket*
these are phenomenal. I pictured teh growth from a cocoon to a butterfly with them, I wonder what amazing butterfly your grandson will turn into. I am sure his grannie will give him wings though :)
Hey Minka - no stuffing the ballot box...
Mo'a - all happiness to you on becoming an Amma! Just got the news that my sweetie will become an Afi in November. Life is sweet yes? Your art never ceases to amaze me - where do you come up with these ideas? Heck - I own some of your art - but unlike the dawg would not mind owning more :-D
Amma Mo'a: Congratulations!!! Such a lucky grandchild to have you for a grandma. I'm going over to look at baby pictures.
I love your studio pictures. I'm going to start on my space this weekend. You inspire me.
AAAHHHH!!! I forgot to say how very beautiful and breathtaking your latest pieces are! I totally raved on about them in my mind and showed the kids and Loverboy and forgot to mention how in awe of you I am! Oy!
Well, now you know! Always your NUMBER ONE FAN! Hear that people! ME! NUMBER ONE FAN! WOOH!
Yeah, bohemians can be obnoxious I am afraid1 ;-P
I'd like to point out that the name of one of my blogs is The Chysalis Stage and another is Pupa to Monarch and just flick your eyes to the right and what do you see?...a pretty butterfly.
Judia: I could not agree with you more...Amma pride :)
Gail: I waited a long time for my Grandchild and he surpassed my expectations.
Thank you Linda. I love the idea that they are all natural.
Stef: I am sorry for you loss. Yes, a little one is a promise of continuation. He is indeed a little European.
Thank you my dear MizBohemia Good to see you here I missed you a lot.
Awwwww!!!he is great, and I just love being an Amma...soon I will hold him :) That will be a lovely time.
Arlene: I will with great pleasure...I agree, could there be anything better?
Neva: You, you will be in the drawing ;>
Thank you my dear, we are over the moon with happiness...only one thing can top this feeling, is actually holding and hugging and, and, and, Heineken says, HI!!!!! xox
Vanessa: They are hard to resist...me thinks perhaps dreams tell us what we are hoping for.
I am happy that you like my little creatures...you are in the drawing ;)xox
Ulla: I was also struck by his lovely eyes looking straight at me...actually his Mormor, who took the photo.
I will be thinking of you when I am in Denmark.....Where in Denmark did you live?
Doug: You are too funny...I don't think he smokes and if he is like his Parents and Amma he never will.
You are too kind to take yourself out of the drawing.....do you think they are too girly for your house?.....I think the pieces you have of my Art are more suited for a burly guy with a dawg ;^>
Thank you Mimi...they are a promise of things to come, just like spring and the birth of a little one.
Minka: Yes, I see your slip of paper...you are in the drawing.
I am sure he will have wings to fly and that he will do amazing things in his life...there is great promise there :) He has great Parents and is much loved.
Terry: Life is indeed sweet. Best wishes to Bjarni Afi...that is good news.
You are in the drawing, I would never put a limit at how many of my pieces you can have.
Nessa: Awwwwww!!!thank you.
Come over and take a look at the studio...I will be here for another week and a half.
MizBohemia, my number one fan :)
Thank you...I will put your name in the drawing also, with great pleasure.
Nessa: Yes, I know...*whisper* that is how I knew what to name them :)
What an adorable little man! I love his little lips!
Congratulations!!!!!

I'm one of those whose comment was refused by your site but I'm going to try again.
The Chrysalis(es)(?) are very precious and a perfect homage to your darling grandson. I have a pretty little great niece a couple of months old that I'd love for him to meet!
Hi Mo'a I left a message a while back but I don't see it now I love all your art, congrats on your new grandson.
PS... I am finally back! I figured I could do a little shameless I-am-back-and-have-two-silly-videos-up-with-more-to-come-and-more-being-Gaudi-but-that-would-be-in-the-post-that-is-to-follow little plug! ;-P
Besos!
Congratulations on a charming grandson Amma M'oa. He is as sweet as the chrysalis' are, and his eyes as mysterious.I am intrigued by your art and your studio photos. (and just a little envious of the little one LOL ;>)Good luck and blessings on your trip! Enjoy the time with family! Peggy
