A Collage and a Secret




Crappy Windchimes


Here is my creation for the Crappy Windchimes swap.  They work pretty good and aren't too annoying with their clanging :).  I used a jello mold, measuring cups, measuring spoons and cookie cutters, all aluminum, that I have collected over time from the thrift store.  The green beads are strung on tiger tail jewelry wire.  I then lightly spray painted the metal with green and gold.

I'd have done a few things differently but for a first try I think it turned out more ambitious than I intended.  I'm sorry to see it go and hope my person likes it.

Colours in a Series: Green


Handmade postcard.  I don't really like it but it is my first attempt at using a homemade texture paste.  It turned out pretty cool but then coloring it was hard for this swap.  I used food coloring and then went in and used markers and a touch of gold paint.  It is off to Sweden.

How do you like those two peeking fawns?  I photographed them on mail route and thought they looked cute in this pic so didn't crop them out :).  Mama is to the far left cropped out.

Sneak Peek of Random Journal


I just had to record this for myself.  Today is really windy and when I went past this Amish farm there were two girls outside near the mailbox flying Walmart bags!  I mean these were really flying and I thought what a clever thing to do!  Probably much easier to handle than a kite.  They were really having fun and it was fun seeing them!  So I had to record it in my journal.

Something Funny About That Farm #4


Daring duck.  This is Delbert getting his feet wet at the Quack Me Up, a comedy club.  Can you get the punchline?  Hint:  Ostrich don't swim :).

Fast Food ATC-Hardees


Simple as my original plan didn't work out.  It is made of a Hardee's bag and the saying is cut from a cup.  I added the yellow and red lines.  Nothing fancy.

Quick Cat Postcard(s)


PC #1, a drawing of my old cat Icey on a plant pedestal I brought home and he immediately decided was his new post.

Cats are living art...


PC #2, moonlight kitty.  Now to decide who to send which :).
