new art

This is what I made last weekend, between the theatre and parties and all the other weekend stuff. It was so easy. The base is a candle stick I got at the thrift store (75 cents) and the form is a dollar store doll with the appendages removed. I painted it and used a little webbing spray for texture. Then covered it with UTE and put gold embossing on the top. I just tore the strips of fabric and topped it off with a silk flower.

For those of you that enjoyed my David light switch, here are the two guys that hold up my mirror in the studio powder room. I'm just into funky things.

oops!

My daughter informed me last night that Easter is THIS weekend! I thought it was next weekend. So as usual I am running late on my holiday's. But isn't this eraser just the cutest thing? I am always saying oops so I had to have it. And I make lot's of mistakes.
I got it at the Paper Crown. My favorite store for paper and fun goodies.

This is another view from the landing. Leading up to the studio you are greeted by Gabe and Adam....the altered guy's.

Have to run....Easter is just a few day's away, have to get some Peep's!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

There's a new challenge out there called The Artist Mess Challenge. Julie challenged us to show the mess. Well, here's mine. It's called my work table and it's pretty big and usually looks like this. I give myself a scant 8 x 12 inch area to work in. There is a new book coming out with the perfect studio's. Someone suggested that they make one with the other side . I agree...I think it would be interesting.....and funny.

OK, now the shot's I'd like you to see. This quilt hangs on the landing on the way up to my studio. The sign is an old headboard rescued from the garbage bin and painted by a friend from Maryland. It's the name of my doll business.

And today's Mail Art. Sent to me by Sharon. I sent her one but lost the photo. Anyway she has a thing for hands and put several on here and someone has a broken arm. I hope that's not an omen. No, it's those mail people...( I know, I used to be one.) Thank you Sharon! It's sunny and springy. Spring is here! I am seeing robins and the pear trees have bloomed and things are popping out of the ground. YAY! I am currently working on some mail art and will post that soon.

sunday quickie

No, no, no......I am just in a hurry. I know how you ladies think. Anyway, this is a little house shelf thingie with a chick pin cushion that I made out of a log cabin block and above that is a hand carved dog that my brother made.
Sorry about the mail art. It was too late to take pictures so I will do that tomorrow. And I have a fun new thing to tell you about.

furniture art

Happy Saturday! This is the front side of my sewing desk...well half of it, but you get the idea.

And here is the back side. Like I said if it doesn't move, it gets painted.
Tomorrow I will show my mail art.

sweet weekend

Spicy, sweet, garlic, dill crayons? Why not. You might think this shelf is from the kitchen not the studio, but the wings are angel wings not chicken.

Just for the weekend...a bonus shot. Hey, everyone needs a little David. This is in the studio powder room.

Plans for this weekend include dining tonight at a dive that has the best chicken you will ever taste. But you need to bring your own sides. They serve this whole chicken with pickles and raw onions. Don't ask me why...it must be an Okie thing.

A party on Saturday for one of our guys returning from Iraq. And on Sunday we go to see the play "Annie." Not much time for art but I will squeeze some in somewhere.

Have a great weekend yourselves!

feeling purple today

Today's studio pic is my art bra....redone. I was playing around with my new Photo Impact until around 1:00 this morning and this is what happened. Oh, I see that one of my paper doll's left her purse on the wall.

Sharon declared March mail art month. Here is a peek at one of mine. Do you mail art?
