My Journey Into Art

I love doing decos and for those of you who don’t know what a deco is, it’s a small to medium sized, handmade book made by an artist and passed around to other artist for them to decorate in the theme the owner has chosen. The owner does a title page and the 1st spread [...]

I was working on a music themed deco this weekend but while I was at my desk I kept seeing these bits of images and paper ‘floating’ around and I got an idea for the France theme on 4 x 4 Fridays. Because the image of what this should look like when it was done [...]

I apologize, my real life got in the way.
To the ladies who won in my name calling contest!, sounds bad eh?, LOL, your goodies are going out in the mail tomorrow! Sorry to have not been able to get them out sooner.

So without further ado, oh BTW the name I had picked out for her was Merry Christmas, [...]

I was gifted with this very special lady by a good friend of mine, thank you so very much, earlier this week and I need a name for her. I have one, very obvious but it suits, I think. I would just like to get some more suggestions.
Suggest as many names as you’d like, [...]

This is one of the [...]

ear bug anyone? LOL Little more success with the glue but I can see in the scans that my bling placement is a little off.

Love doing Asian themes!
The second one has no words but if you think, I’m sure you can get the reference. Had a real problem with glue on this one, I’ll probably redo it but I really like how it looks!

LOL The computer is in the living room (we have a small condo and while I’d love to have a dedicated office, it’s just not possible right now) and my art space is just that, an art space! Yippee!!!! While I loved having the laptop there, it was too distracting and I would get next [...]
