Mixed Media Time to Grow

We actually got a little sprinkle of rain today. We really need it out here in the West. Yesterday, we had another big grass fire out North of town. Craig and I drove out to watch and our neighbors drove behind us. That is how you know you live in a boring town....we all go to see the big fires. There were a bunch of us parked out on the side of the service road of I-20.
Today was nice. I rested, arted, cleaned and freshened up the house. I was able to finish this piece....I created the background the other day when I did that tutorial on texture and glaze. To me, this is one of my better pieces lately. The texture in the back ground makes me think of the much needed rain. I'm also thinking it is time to till up my garden. "Happy Easter...Easter Bunny--- Bach Bach". That is what my little sister used to say. I think it used to be on some commercial. So now, we all say that when we call each other and wish Happy Easter.

Hey girlie, saw the living room, looks so pretty. Good job! We got a little rain this afternoon too. I wish it would rain a little more. Hugs***Renea

I think the commercial was for Cadbury's Easter egg candy and she also was dressed as a baby chick and flapped her arms and made that chicken sound, bach, bach, I used to think it was a hoot.
I lived in a small town and we followed fires also. As long as you stayed out of the way, nobody cared. We helped keep the rest of the town informed before we had the internet.
Love this new piece. It's beautiful.

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.

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

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
