Queen for the Day


I am back! Shew! Vegas was a blast....well everything except for the lay over for one more night due to the storm. We just did so much and had so much fun in such a short period that I'm still trying to synthesize everthing. I can't quite put it into words yet. I did get lots of pics and as I get settled a little more, I will share a couple.
I'm still quite tired but I have to make this post. I have a couple of updates! I got my art supplies from my art swap partner! Oh my gosh! This was so much fun. My package was waiting on me yesterday evening when I got in. I could not wait to tear into it. I got all kinds of great material/supplies for my art. My partner did good! I'm excited to hear from all the other swap partners! Oh, and my partner will ger hers shortly. Due to the late return home,my package just went out today! Bad art swap host!!
I also got a couple of lovely valentines. One from my husband and one from a dear friend (MR). Thanks you two! Then, as if I were not spoiled enough....another dear friend sent me a just because she wanted to card. She took such time to make it and it meant so much to me. I have it on my desk where I can see it all the time. It makes me laugh and inspires me girl! Thanks Donna!
I have so much to do to catch up! I really love to go places but really....there is not place like home.

Paper Flowers and Fabric Flowers

Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.

Lost Sole Challenge

childs shoe in front of hs Originally uploaded by Funky Art Queen I'm starting to wonder if I am the only one that sees all these single shoes on the road. This is not the first time I have addressed this isue on my blog . I see at least one single shoe every day on the highway or a street in town. I don't understand where all these shoes come from. Every time I see a shoe on the road, I wonder how it got there.?.....I wonder what story goes with the shoe. If it is a childs shoe like this one, I wonder if a mother is going crazy searching the house for this shoe? Why just one shoe and not the pair of shoes?! I see shoes on the road all the time. They are just not always in the most convenient places for photographing. But, on occasion, these single shoes are in a location that I feel comfortable enough to stop and photograph them. The particular shoe was spotted in front of the Big Spring High School on 11th place. It was late evening in the summer so I felt very comfortable in

Funky and Proud

Just wanted to say a big thanks to all who responded to the last post. You are all so smart and insightful. I think after much thought and several good conversations with my friends, I feel better about this whole idea. My conclusion, I do many different things that fall under the "mixed media" category...even the jewelry. I have this never ending curiosity and desire to learn new techniques. Whatever I am working on at the moment is satisfying my creative cravings...if not, I don't do it. If I don't enjoy something....I don't do it. It is that simple. The "Funky Art Queen" thing? It occured to me that the people that would be put off by my d.b.a. would be those that most likely would not be drawn to my art in the first place. Thanks again. I just love every one of you. Next blog......not all about me I promise. HUGS
