Another clearance aisle find became my inspiration for an Alice In Wonderland Project #4. When I saw this beat-up bunny (still leftover from Spring garden decor?) I knew he would be perfect spiffed up as the perpetually late White Rabbit. I forgot to take a picture of the rabbit in “as […]

“Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me” Handmade Starfish Wreath
This wreath was going to be my 4th Alice in Wonderland project but became something completely different when I came across this wonderful old hymn. I love old hymns. Growing up in the Church of Christ, where all worship songs were sung a capella, I have a large repertoire of hymns in my memory bank. Often […]
Alice in Wonderland Project #3-“Out of the Way Things” Card
Alice in Wonderland Project #2-“Mad Tea Party” Collage
Here is my second piece of “mad” art. The “Alice in Wonderland” theme is too fun! When it starts looking a little crazy I think “well, the story is nuts, so who cares?” This is a 12×12 canvas board, painted and souped up. The main picture is an illustration plate […]
Alice in Wonderland Project #1-“Down the Rabbit Hole”
We just finished Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland” for our last read-aloud this summer. I had never read the original before and I enjoyed it immensely. My daughter’s are already anticipating Tim Burton’s upcoming movie re-make of this classic tale in ’10. We’ve already ooh-ed and aah-ed over the crazy […]
“35 and Still Alive” Photo Memory Tag
It’s my birthday today! I’m 35, and still alive. My Dad died at age 34, and as far back as I can remember that number has stuck in my mind as the age at which my life might end. In fact, this whole year of “34” has been one of silent anxiety […]
“Air Travel” Card
Woe is me, for there is no vacation in sight for us and the summer is almost gone! The cost of travel precludes our departure to any exotic destination at this time. Plus, all the places I truly want to go require a trans-atlantic flight, which is unfortunate for someone who doesn’t […]
Queen of Music
I’m still playing with my sheet music! Here is a card using some of the scraps that were left over after I made my Sheet Music Pencils. The stamp is Rubber Stampede’s “Woman In Repose” (#3942F)
Sheet Music Pencils
I love to re-use boxes. I love to paint them, decorate the lids, and fill them with something fun. I came across this narrow box in my stash the other day. It was the perfect size to put pencils in. Many of the art blogs I read are using sheet music […]
