Outside the Box



I spotted this car in Midland,Texas a few weeks ago and I laughed when I saw it. I could not wait to tell my husband about it. I told him it looked like a green station-wagon on big wheels. I saw it again today and took this pic. Notice how they have it parked away from other vehicles so it won't get door dings!

After some thought, I decided it really is not all that funny anymore. I applaud the person that came up with this vehicle. This is totally evidence of creative thinking. I love it. BRAVO to this person whomever it is. Who would have ever thought to put a station-wagon on this type of wheels and to paint it green? I love people who are not afraid to be different. 5 Stars for courage. Now if it just had a little step so I could get out of the thing without breaking any body parts! Heehee

It's actually pretty cool. That's one of my favorite colors, very retro.

I love this color too, but I wouldn't want to drive around in this. It's funny how proud he is of it, keeping it out of the way of possible accident. It's so high up that no one could ding it anyway.

A friend of mine's boyfriend at one time had a jacked up car and she is real short and he kept a step stool in the back of the truck for her to get in and out with ease. Too funny!

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
