Altered Bottle

Thanks to some good friends, Loretta and David, I now have a bottle with seaweed AND a fish with bubble sand blasted on!!! It looks fab!!!!

A Crown Day!!!!!!

WoW! What a hell of a day! I have glitter from one end of the house to the other...there is magical fairy dust glitter ALL over my driveway and walkway! It is ALL over me...my face, my clothes...EVERY WHERE even on my cats paws! LOL

We had the day of Making Our Diva Mermaid Crowns!!! Oh MY GAWD!!!! Go here to see our photos!We are doing good! One day! I one crown! We cracked up putting it all together and I have to say that Robins is my favorite, with Lucy in a close 2nd! hers is just ELEGANTI!!!

AND I started my Bottle...Lucy came early to teach me the Mexican Lace Stitch! Wow! This is awesome!  Tomorrow, I meet up with Loretta...and we etch the bottle! I cannot wait! This is going to be awesome!

Oooh! Good mail!

Ah! I received my cards from Pootie!!!!!  YUMMY  AND she sent me a couple of goodies too! Whoo hoo!

ATC head spins

Boy about the only real art I did today was working on this ATC...

I am just not used to working so small...it is hard to wrap my brain around it!  But I am trying! This one is turning out ok...I may have to print on different paper...this looks dull...

I want to do it nice it is my Lenna Swap.

The only other art I did today was knitting...I started a new skein...so I am plugging along...it is definately going to be a blanket for my couch! It is just out of control! Giggle

Another Good Mail Day!

I am clapping my hands, spinning and twirling, well, like a Gypsy! I came home to find a magical envie from Lenna Andrews!!!! The Giggle ATC she traded with me...it is beautiful in your hands! It shimmers with shine on what looks to be silk! YUM  THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

And she was so sweet in the envie was GOODIES! Whoot! : )

Glorious Day!

My gawd it is ALWAYS a glorious day when friends come to visit! And expecially when we are all baring gifts! Wow...what a fun and fast day of it! This made me happy...and sad...because I miss Pallie so much when she leaves after our holiday festivities! I just want her to move in next door...so I can see her all the time! Look at that angelic face (the one in the middle) you would NEVER know that she W H I N E S !!!! Giggle

A time to FREAK

I am really starting to freak out a bit...I have NOT done ANY art after work...I have several swaps coming due! Gah!

• Vintage Nudes - Jan 14
• Chunky House - Feb 27 but this one is 4x4 with an added 2.5 on top for a roof! Gah a dyslexics hell!

I have not liked ANYTHING I have done for the nudes! I am trying again! I have GREAT vintage nude photos...but the putting it all together just has me stupid!

Here is what I have done tonight... I am starting to like it more now...

Friends, Food, Frolick

Ah...a breathe of fresh air came through my home tonight. Interesting conversations happening. Wide eyes at understanding each persons spirit. Sharing of the views of life. Respectful and introspective. And such a perfect evening.

I can't BELIEVE that I forgot to take photos!!!! I can kick myself right now!!!! Aischa is Indian, and boy is she beautiful on the inside and out! She shared her Quill work. They are porcupine quills that are softened in her mouth and then she makes beads from them and strings them on buffalo hide and uses deer sineu to string them! Man, they are beautiful work. She is part of what they call the Porcupine Society, where they get their designs through their dreams. So she receives a dream, and within the dream will come the patterns AND the colors! Powerful!

I shared my Tarot Cards and the meanings behind them. She appreciated the work, and understood where I was going, and made comments about what I had symbolized in each card, and she saw the journey. A very spiritual woman.  It was a joy talking to her.

My Foster Mom came as well...it is such a pleasure to have her in my home! And Michael spent a lot of time talking to her. He needed to today...he had a really BAD day... So I let them talk while Aischa shared my art. Of course time went by way too fast and they had to leave.  But maybe this won't be the only time she comes to visit.

What a joyous artful night!

AND most of my house is clean! Look at my living area!

   

Boxes

Here are a couple of photos of the box I told  you about on Friday...isn't it terrific! I have to figure out what to do with it! Exciting possiblities! Giggle
