blind date

Made for a challenge blog with the theme "in the garden". I like to take a humorous twist on things when everyone else is doing pretty vintage floral thing. The little hedgehog is cut off a birthday card I received this year and I've been looking for a fun way to use him ever since.

On the half shell

She dreams of swirls and magical underwater worlds. Done for the Flickr Saturday Surprise group's "magic" challenge.

All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go

Watercolor, acrylic, rubber stamping, papers from magazines and scraps from other collages.

Made for the Saturday Surprise Challenge group on Flickr. Theme was WATER.

Also for Mixed Media Monday challenge on paint.

I hate this scan. How do I get rid of the ridges where paper overlaps under the paint?

Nectar

Done for the 4x4 Friday challenge: floral. Background is a card I recevied for Administrative Professionals Day, the woman's face came out of a magazine as did the word. I also used gesso, acrylic paint, and a rubber stamp.

The right side of this is cut off. Click the picture to see the whole thing, including the funky purple hearts!

Fun!

Done for Illustration Friday, where the theme is WRINKLES. When I think of wrinkles, I think of my skin after I'm done playing dolphin in the pool.

Book of Faeries - altered calendar

A little pocket calendar from the dollar store. I decided to collect faeries in it and this is the cover. Do you recognize the little boy from the Universal Wringer postcard I posted yesterday?

If anyone can tell me how to make it so that the picture doesn't get cut off on the right side, I would so appreciate it. Click picture to see all of it.

Submitted for Mixed Media Monday's challenge on HATS. Submitted for Created by Hand's challenge on GREEN.

See It

Response to a prompt on the Yahoo gluebooks group to base a page on the color or shape of my eyes.

The background paper I got free at the dollar store - they used it to wrap a purchase. My eyes are more hazel than green, but I had to use this paper!
