Meanwhile, I'm getting lots of great comments on the new look for the blog and I thank you for the feedback. Doing anything on the computer is trial and error for me. Even if I figure something out one time I have to go back to trial and error because I can never remember how I did it. I also tend to have to "live" with things a bit before I'm sure of them. So, please, keep the comments and suggestions coming.
Yesterday was also an art day. I finished the butterfly for the Houston Holocaust Museum.
While working on this I thought not only of the holocaust children, but of the children of Pakistan, and Haiti, and the Middle East and the countries where they are forced in to prostitution and slave labor and molested and hurt. Not to diminish the holocaust memorial but sometimes I wonder if we've learned anything.
Here's the link to the Butterfly Project.
On a much lighter subject I did
another tag for the "gold and lace"
challenge at Dezinaworld.
This little girl playing grown-up
mommy had me wondering if
she dreamed of a big house
with lots of fancy things,
including gold, lace and diamonds.
I am really loving doing these tags. This
one has Distress Ink, a gold ribbon and sequins,
laces, ribbon, lace and the picture and words
from my stash. All was glued on with gel medium
and The Ultimate glue which I learned about through
Sarah Whitmire's Soul Journaling classes. That stuff
holds a lot of bits-and-bobs.
Today I have more artsy goals. One is to start the
Layer Love painting class through Julie Pritchard.
I signed up before I went to Washington. I think it's
finally time I get started. Don't you?
Do you have a weekend art project to share? Let me
know through your comment by adding your blog or
other link and I will go take a look.
Art is to be shared.
