Lobster details

This was what I sent for Rachel to include in the Alice in Wonderland themed art book. Alice's tears are paste-paper I made in my favorite tint of Public Pool. The lobster origami was quite a feat as I wanted a thick paper, yet those cannot hold up to too much folding. After tearing a few, I managed to get one to hang on to his own shell through the process. He got a sugary glow from Perfect Pearls and was then off in the mail to beat the deadline by mere minutes!!

Lobster Quadrille - November 2012

In November, I had lobsters on the brain (just like any normal mermaid would.) But this time at the behest of my friend Rachel Shreck, as she compiled an art book based on Alice in Wonderland. It was a gift for her husband at Christmas. Can you imagine being the happy recipient of a massive book - each page an original work by a dear friend?! Variations on a theme. I had to go with the Lobster :)

I like photography very much. I don't consider myself a photographer, but I do think I have an eye for it. So, here you get a chance to see what I saw in a moment, shot with my phone and filtered through the foibles of all concerned. My friend Rachel Shreck has been a huge encouragement to me in this realm. <3

Project updates

I'll be posting a selection of photos that cover the last several years of my projects.

Five Years Later...

I''m very excited to have reclaimed my old blog! Over the weekend, I will edit, update, dust-off and celebrate! I hope you'll join me!

Oh, Mexico!

There's that background again! This is the same "failed" alcohol/dye ink experiment that became the moon in my 'Tango' cards. Here, I toned it way down and made it look old fashioned with the editor on Photobucket.

Adding Lucia and a metallic border was almost anti-climactic to me, but I still like it.

Whipped Cream & Other Delights-Herb Alpert & the TJB

One of my favorite albums and cover art of all time.It seemed perfect on my Ranger Adirondack alcohol ink background.

I'd been holding back from posting this because I have a bunch or these out in a swap, but I'm sure everyone has received them by now. My parents had this record. I always wanted to be that girl!
