I'm still here!
Oh yes.
I
made it through March in one whole piece. It wasn't easy. I'm glad
there's a whole year between me and the next one. Moving on...
So
I've been into making ACEO's lately. I'm all about the beeswax. I
really want to get some amber-y/yellow beeswax one of these days. I've
only ever used white, which does have a nice sort of cloudy dreamy way
about it, but from what I've seen the yellow gives a nice antique
looking finish.
I really like how this little guy came out.
I
like to think the innocent looking lark took out all the intruders to
the castle and that's why the river runs blood red. The nest is made
from one of my very last scraps of birdnest paper. I have one little
bit about that same size left. I really need to find more. I love that
stuff.
And my ocean obsession... still there. Then
i decided to whip up a couple regular collage cards. and found the most
awesome illustrations about fire safety. I had visions of a classic 2
card set. The second card, that has yet to be made, had an image of
a girl wrapped up in a rug. It doesn't get much better. So made the
first card and was all proud and in love with it and excited to make
its brother card. Now somewhere in here is where it gets fuzzy....
I
woke up the next morning and couldn't find my new masterpiece anywhere.
I looked. I searched. I even cleaned off the desk! Meanwhile, I was
also doing laundry. No sign of the card. Finally at like 10 at night I
take the last load of laundry out of the dryer, and right after i
pulled out the last toasty warm hoodie, there it was. My poor mangled,
yet extra clean card
I really have no idea how that ended up in my pocket. Or how I didn't notice. My favorite hoodie doesn't even have pockets.
grrr.
I'll probably still make the second card, but only because this illustration is just too hard to resist. I think the look on her face says it all.
I can't believe it's already technically Friday.
Another week gone by.
Anyone perfected that time stopping magic watch yet?
