Three Muses - Birds of a Feather

Nuts....I'm so challenged on photos! I bought a new digital camera and really haven't had much time to play with it. For the Muses challenge, I created a shrine and painted, glued and used lace and ephemera on it. I grabbed the camera, took a couple of pictures, uploaded it...felt proud of myself for getting there...and then ran into a brick wall in sizing the thing. I think I just didn't play enough in PowerPoint to get the picture to where I wanted it to be...but I'm running out of time on this challenge, so I put it up with what I had done. And in this Google Blog, if you can enlarge a pic by clicking on it, I don't know how! Hmph! Probably need to go back to school!

Gothic Arches - Crackle

Kelly Burton has brought us an interesting theme - crackle! I decided to use a Western theme for my crackle arch. I'm sorry, I can't provide the image sources. Oh, does anyone need snow? I have about 33 inches of it I'd be happy to send over!

Theme Thursday and TMTA

We've finally had our power restored...almost 15 hours without heat or lights. Wow...made any art making really tough! So, I made my pink and black piece for Theme Thursday, and I can also use it for TMTA Circus. Sorry I'm so late!

Gothic Arches - Correspondence

I made my arch using oil pastel crayons for my background (on 140 lb cold press watercolor paper which I gessoed first), rubbed them together with my finger, then coated with matte medium (a Lori Roberts technique). The lovely woman image comes from Rhonda at San Design, the other images are from Kathy at KF Collections. Then, I used white acrylic and floated ovals at the edges to create the appearance of lace. The dots were done holding my breath! :o) Thanks for looking!

Theme Thursday - Busy

Ok, I used BasicGrey's Porcelain paper pad, tore it up and pasted it down. Then I stamped the lovely little Red Lead fairy stamp and colored her with H2Os. So, here's my offering for this theme!

Tag Tuesday - Time

I am behind again!!! The tag I decided on is Baby Time - who doesn't have time to hug and love these little sweethearts? God bless all the children!

Think Monday, Think ATC

I'm so late posting my ATC. I used 100 Proof Press' sleeping angel for this piece. Smooshed Adirondocks ink for my background.
