Three Wishes



This is a piece I created in my journal on the way to San Antonio the weekend we attended Cody's graduation. I finally scanned it and gave it a little frame (digitally). It is kind of a happy little piece. I did this with prisma color pencils and some inks. I may have to get some prints of this one. I feel like doing some more pics with the prisma colors soon. I have one in mind. I want to do another version of the "My Soul Glides on Wings". I just really like that one and love that it was inspired by Marc Chagall. So, hopefully I will create something of that nature soon.
Well, I hope everyone out there in blog land is doing great. Remember, conserve gas (prices going up up up) and for heavens sakes DON'T EAT TOMATOES UNLESS YOU GROW THEM YOURSELF!!!!! HEEHEE

What a wonderful journal page!
I love working with colored pencils.
Thanks for the reminder about the tomatoes!
I stupidly bought some "ripened on the vine tomatoes" yesterday at the supermarket and had to throw them out because I am so worried about the salmonella!
Have a great week!

Wonderful journal page! I wish I could draw while I'm in vehicle--even a plane. I get motion sick--isn't that horrible! Plus, I'm usually the one driving across country.

You MUST get prints of there is something special about this. The woman's face causes a real emotional reaction for me, especially knowing when and why it was created.

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.

Dumpster Diving Diva

Dumpster Diving Diva Yes, I have to say, I probably looked something like this yesterday. I'm hoping that my bo - hiney did not look so much like this one though. OK, are you ready for this Lucy Ricardo story? It was Monday and I was working. I parked in the hospital parking lot and was going to go in and market to all the social workers. I spotted a trash dumpster and decided I should take advantage of that and clean the trash out of my car. (When you work out of your car...you are constantly cleaning trash out). So, I gathered up all trash and proudly walked over to the dumpster that I was parked so close to. I'm always so proud of myself for making do on the run. I proudly released my trash into the dumpster and before it hit the bottom I realized I also released my car keys! DANG IT! I could see them but for the life of me, I could not reach them. First, I looked all around for witnesses (none) so I dipped in slightly with my arm reaching as far as it could.....no go. Not

NO WATER REQUIRED FABRIC FLOWERS

I finished these fabric flowers yesterday. I loved the polkadot material. I just used fabric stiffener and I baked them some to make the fabric hard. I hot glued the stems and tied pretty ribbon. These are my kinda flowers......I can't kill these. Just dust and go. LOL Then after thinking about it a bit, I decided to make some round ones....kinda like pansies. That was not enough though.....I wanted them to be sort of primitive so I tea dyed them and baked them to stiffen. I also added polyurthane.....which by the way, I don't like as it seems to have a very mild stickiness even after they dried. So we live and learn....anyway....here they are. Then I decided to so something else with fabric....something different and unique. Oh my goodness, sometimes I can't leave well enough alone. I do not like this creation but I like the concept so I might have to play with the idea some more. I wanted to make a fabric sculpture piece of art that you could hang on the wall. This is
