Self Portrait ATC for 10/06 for the Artist Trading Card Guild. I drew on the glasses myself because I won't be me without my glasses. Oh, the expression is one of concentration and creativeness. 

Spooky friends hanging out on my kitchen table this fall season!!! 

It's Pumpkin Time! A long time ago, I bought several decorated pumpkins in Rochester, MN. while visiting my cousin, Donna. Well, I saw these little pumpkins and decided that I would try to decorate them myself. These are whitish pumpkins and must have a waxy coating on them because I had to use 4 coats of purple paint on them. Put a few (is it ever a few?) rhineshones on and some sheer orange ribbon and there you have it. I love them!!! But I am going to give them to my Mom and I am sure I will make a few more for me and others special friends. Took my about an hour to do, I didn't really wait for anything to dry, just kept on going. 

Just a lady I got from a cabinet card, I love her expression so much that I thought I would give her wings! 

Birds and Words, here's just one of twelve atcs I sent to Rock, Paper, Scissors ATC Guild for September 06 swap. Can't wait to get my cards from the first swap. And can't wait for the next theme. 

About Time...

Blogger sure took its time. I posted on 9/10/06 and it took about a week to post to my blog. I know I haven't posted in a long time but it took blogger even longer to post my stuff. Oh well!!!

I know it's not officially autumn yet but autumn is my favorite season, how about you??

Happy Autumn to you!

How long has it been???

It's been a very long time and I don't know where the time has gone but it has been flying!!! Well, it's September now and much cooler here in the windy city so I guess I can get back to my blog. I have been reclining somewhere cold in my condo and haven't sent much time in my art space because it was just too warm. I can't think art when the temps and humidity is so high. Anyway, I will post new art soon and I am getting ready to enjoy the fall weather and getting some art projects started and oh, there are some many new things I want to try. I have seen some many things in the Somerset Studio issues and the Beyond Paper Dolls book by L. Perella. So I will be busy with new projects, new techiques and new gifty things for friends and family. Of course, this fall weather and my Jaguar convertible is always calling my name to take the top down and enjoy the crisp breezes. I will try to resist but it's not easy, I enjoy my convertible more in the fall than the summer, go figure. So I wish you all a good art day, be creative everyday if possible. Ciao!
