Mixed Media



The above picture is a mixed media/collage that is going to be part of a purse I am designing for the Bags to Riches fundraiser. Can you guess what it is about? It is my dream job. I worked on this today. I also finished my sister; Ronetta's Valentine.....(late, I know) that is my middle name. Lesley Late Chandler. Heehee. Other than that, I did little. I did sweep and mop the kitchen and "studio". I also did a little laundry but it is only Saturday....so I procrastinated most of it for tomorrow.

I heard from one of the girls in the art supply swap. This is a pic of the loot she received.....


I have to say, she came out like a bandit! Yay! I hope to see pics from everyone else who participated in the swap! It is so much fun connecting with all of you.

Tomorrow, I plan to work on another doll like the one I gave Renea for Valentines but I'm hoping to improve the process. In order to focus my ideas and plan, I sketched out the ideas in my journal. Here is a peak at my journal entry....we will see if she comes out as planned.

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.

YOu should be able to just have some html and share the dang thing! Anyway, here it is, I would appreciate any views and/or comments. Hugs

Some Work Humor

Cows...A Poem by Richard Armous Cows Do nothing but browse And drowse And now and then moo. That's all they do. Yet even while grazing They aren't lazing. Even while snacking They aren't slacking. If not illustrious Thay are inner industrious, Making milk with all their might. With every bite. Cream too, With every chew. I'd like it fine Could I combine In such measure Business with pleasure . Happy Friday from the Funky Art Queen.
