A fusion made in heaven: Tall candlesticks – already an object of desire because of their perfect balance of functionality with beauty – now upgraded to lust level with whimsy, madness …
Welcome to Her Grace by Devata. My name is Hettienne and I live in Cape Town, South Africa. I write this blog primarily to showcase my handiwork, some of which is sold in my Etsy shop or in my online shop. Both the blog and the shop is 'a dream come true' for me. In blogging world I have met some amazing, warm, funny and incredibly inspiring people. From feeling like an outsider looking into a world that I do not understand, I connected with an entire community that sees the world with similar eyes to mine! I call my art 'Sacred Art'. The vision of all my creations is to highlight the sacred in the ordinary : to see the wonderful myths that are alive in our stories; to encourage myself and others to tell the stories that keep our vision alive and to focus on the metaphor and symbol which is hidden in our world! I also share my love of dolls of all kind, especially my handmade dolls my love of creating shadowboxes - each one a unique and miniature vignette of everyday life Keeper of the Keys my love of the Divine Feminine, especially in her embodiment as Mary my love for making shrines, dedicated to the inner spiritual life and all its symbolism, much wider than religion The Shrine of the Lost Inner Child Archangel Michael Shrine my love for showing the sacred in our ordinary lives Follow your Muse and most of all, I love to travel to interesting and mystical places and I love to share those stories on Cloister of the Heart and here on Her Grace I like to showcase my shadowboxes which capture the essence of my travels The Roma festival (Gypsy) of St Sara la Kali in Saintes-Maries de la Mer, France I am very excited to participate in the Grow Your Blog event. A great opportunity to find new blogs, new followers and a few give-aways. I am looking forward to finding new inspirational blogs! As part of the fun, I have entered my other blog as well - please go over and visit Cloister of the Heart where I am also offering a give-away! I am offering one of the Shards of Beauty from my Etsy shop as a giveaway there I am giving away a packet of Mary Blessing Seeds. I make these by hand and distribute them to those who want to offer healing or prayers or good thoughts or blessings or joy to others or the earth or just put them in their gardens!! These beautiful handmade blessing seeds are packaged with blessed salts, sprinkled with sacred waters from Lourdes and dried rose petals which were touched to the St Teresa roses, carefully wrapped in tissue paper in a voile bag. An image of Mary with the above information will accompany your Blessing Seeds. Bless the earth with these blessing seeds : infuse them with your prayers for healing and plant them where you pray. If you would like to read about these seeds and how I came to make them and about my travels to spiritual places, please go to http://pathofdivinelove.blogspot.com/2011/11/marys-blessing-seeds.html and http://hergracedevata.blogspot.com Please click on the link http://vicki-2bagsfull.blogspot.com/2013/10/grow-your-blog-2014-this-is-official.html and visit the many other exciting blogs and maybe you will even find a few to follow!!

Happy weekend everyone! We have several cool new goodies in the shop for you this week! I'm especially excited about the New Exquisite Antiquity Shrine Kit! I had a blast designing this kit for you, and I think it may be my favorite to date. The kit perfectly holds our Mini Santos Doll Kit as well as several of the RELICS & ARTIFACTS line by Sandra Evertson! It's a nice, large kit, which makes it extra fun! You can check it out HERE. Inspiration By Sandra Evertson! I hope you're enjoying the RELICS & ARTIFACTS line by Sandra Evertson as much as I am! I just can't get enough! Art Time! I had a blast playing with the new Exquisite Antiquity Shrine Kit and of course, more Relics! I love the larger size of this shrine, and the cool design! Since I went for more glitz and glam last week, I decided to do something a bit more primitive. Of course this kit would look great with tons of bling too! Supplies Used Large Exquisite Antiquity Shrine Kit, Relics and Artifacts Flaming Hearts Ex Votos II, Black and Sepia Archival Ink, Matte Mod Podge, E6000, Red Stickles, Copper Beaded Chain, Brass Jump Rings, White Fancy Scalloped Dresden, Color Dusters, White Sharpie Paint Marker I absolutely love the way my Shrine turned out! It's even more striking in person. I started by removing the eye screw from my Relic heart. Simply give them a few twists with some pliers, and you can unscrew them very easily! Initially I was going to glue my pieces to the back of the shrine, but then I had an idea! So I left the eye screw in the flame. I gave everything a quick coat of acrylic paint using sponge brushes. I purposely let some of the Masonite show through on the shrine since I was going for an aged look. I wanted stamping on my heart and flames, however they have amazing texture making stamping difficult, so I did the next best thing. I stamped on a piece of vintage sewing pattern tissue. White tissue paper would work just as well. Coat the back of the tissue with Mod Podge, and GENTLY smooth over the heart. The tissue is very fragile, and can easily tear. Cut or tear the edges to remove the excess. Coat the top with Mod Podge as well. This will make the tissue more transparent. I did the same tissue technique to the flame, and then glued the two piece together with E6000. For fun, I added some Dresden around the seam and added some decorative dots to my shrine. To give my Shrine more of an aged look, I brushed on some Sepia Ink around the edges using a Color Duster. I decided to hang my heart from a bit of vintage chain. I simply drilled a small hole in the top of my shrine and added the chain, using a jump ring on the end to hold the chain in place! Finally I attached my heart to the chain with another jump ring. I LOVE the look of the suspended heart, and it was super duper easy! I can't wait to see what you guys make with new new Shrine Kit and of course the Relics & Artifacts. I know I'm having tons of fun! xoxo If you prefer more bling, the tutorial from last week might be more up you alley! Inspiration By Cat Kerr! A stunning set of ATCs by Design Team Member Cat Kerr!
