Time for Dinner at the Nest

Just got the bottle collage from phenomenon1859.etsy.com - she has a terrific selection of digital collages that I've not seen before. Definately need to take a look if you like collage sheets!

What a beauty!

This my aunt, circa 1924, who won a beauty contest.

Butterfly Girl!

Yes, I am loving this program! The more I play - the more I love it. Easier to play with vintage images, then I'll start playing with mine. Stay tuned!

Twins!

Two are much better than one!

The blue flowers are back!

You all know how much I love those blue flowers. This is a combo image - digital of coarse!

At the Beach

Playing again, this time the background is one of my photos at the beach. Okay, so I started reading the manual. Learning more!

Nia has Time

Hello all you Go Make Something fans. Here is my latest digital design featuring Nia from Paper Imagery Designs.

Surprise - no blue flowers!

On Go Make Something Lisa Volrath has a challenge to create art inspired by men. I have played with this image of the soldier, but now that I have this new program, I was able to pull all sorts of things in with it. I'm happy with the results.

Still loving those blue flowers!

I'm not one to read directions when I get something new, so I keep playing around. This is fun!

Oh Boy!

Here's another one! Can you tell I like the blue flowers?

New Digital Art!

Bought a new editing program and boy am I having fun with it. The image is from Paper Imagery and the rest is images I have collected. Can't wait to play more!

Joined a New Group!

The group is Paper Imagery Designs and this is one of their images that we were allowed to download (for free) for this challenge. They have terrific images, and a very talented group of artists that share their art with this group. You should check it out!

Finally! Pictures from Art & Soul

I couldn't find the cable to download my photos till just about 1/2 hr ago. I looked everywhere - I hate when that happens!

I took 3 classes with Sally Jean Alexander - the queen of solder! This was the 2nd class, little pink houses. There was 24 of us, and each house was totally different! Mine is the first one. We started with putting together the collages, then wrapped then soldered it together. I would love to make more of these! We lined them up and lit them - you really can't see how cool that was. Sally Jean is a fabulous instructor and I learned lots - although it will take a lot of soldering to even be a speck of a talent that she is. Her husband was terrific too! I didn't take any other pictures than these. I did take a bunch of pictures at the beach, early in the morning. Maybe I'll post some later.

Somerset Magazines listed on Etsy

Just a few of my latest listings on Etsy.

Please take a look - and I love to combine ship!

Been Busy!

I joined a swap at the "In our house" Yahoo group. This swap is for extreme inchies with a spring theme. I did this box for the hostess, Suzie, and to house my inchies in. I hope my partners like them!

I have also been busy painting - and here are the two latest. I have also listed them on Etsy.

New Play Toy

Someone told me about Photoshop Express - it's online and it's free! Try it out. I don't have photoshop, so I am very impressed.

Inchie Charms!

These are for a swap on Swap-bot. Start with an inchie then anything goes. A butterfly printed transparency, alcohol inks, adirondack paints on the back, then attached with mini brads, primo flowers, a paperclip, and of coarse fibers for fun!

Newest Etsy painting

I just listed this on etsy. Its an acrylic on canvas board and it was very difficult to get a good shot. I am not religiuos at all, but I really love this image.

3-(C)D Fashion Art-Swap-Bot-"Time to find your mojo"

Here is my newest swap on Swap-bot. It was to do a cd with some sort of fashion image. I had gotten this AOL tin and I started with that. I'm sure you can tell I love bird things. For the cd I used a clear one so the backside of the vinatge dictionary page shows through the front. I hope my swap partner likes her package!

At the bottom there are some dangly things - a "K" for the recipent, a key, a brass tag - create and a brass tag - joy.
