WOYWW - SO MANY PROJECTS...SO LITTLE TIME!!!


Evolution 2k12
Hey WOYWWers and Artists In Bloglanders!
You've rarely seen my play room...or tables in such disarray...but I'm a busy girl these days! (Heck, I hardly ever see it this messy and I live here)!
And - 
Sophia hasn't been over for way too long (this is day 3) because annie! grandma is fighting a sore throat, fever etc...
So I've been using my free time wisely.
Working on my next altered book...
inspired by Effy Wild's Book of Days
My version of Book of Days
and after collecting food boxes (as in cereal, etc) for the past couple months...
finally getting busy with a project inspired by my dear Jennibellie
this is still the book of days project - not Jennibellies
whom I've never met...but totally love.
As much as I love you too...
Since I'd rather be arting RIGHT Now...
I'm off to do just that!
Create my life that is!
Let the magic in you...
Come OUT!
Book title...EVOLUTION 2K12

  15. Hi Neki! The piece that looks like wire is actually a thread from a bit of fabric I bought right after halloween a few years ago. You know how the fabric stores put out special fabrics for costumes? Well...this is one of those!) I like that the thought of wire came to you though!!!

  41. La Abela...thank you so much for your awesome note in English! We don't have an oven, a clothes dryer or air conditioning (and it's 84 right now at 5:30pm and humid always) BUT, I DO have this marvelous Light and Spacious room for all my art. I'm not sure what you meant by strange seaweed but it's put a smile on my face. :)

    ReplyDelete
  47. Thank you Geckostone! So much! IF I have more than you...it's because for 3 years prior to moving here (Barranquilla, Colombia), I collected like a mad woman. And then paid a fortune to get it all here. Thankfully, it was mostly purchased at yard sales for a fraction of retail!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Thanks Jennibellie! :) My BOD will take a year or so and really, my muse is leading me in directions I don't always take...cool, huh?!? I'm loving it...but my Jennibellie art journal has me over the moon with happiness!!! And yes...those are all shades and tints of pink. I purchased much of my paint at yard sales and just add a little water if they get goopy...so not a huge investment unless you count the blissful hours I spent looking for treasure!
