Two SiSters Mary Thoughts for the Day ~ August

 Be still when you have nothing to say; 

when genuine passion moves you, 

say what you've got to say, and say it hot.

 Check out this Fantastic Cake Carrier.

This is the first time I've seen this design and I knew I had to have it.

The Lagniappe: Pie carrier on top, Cake carrier on bottom.

Which for Me, means, during the HoHo Holidays,
I can carrier TWO pies quite easily.

{Priscilla says: You can't ever have enough Pie, SiSter}

yeah, no joke! remember those 6 pies I made last Thanksgiving?!

although, it just screams Cocount Cake....yum.

 Gorgeous.

These remind me of days and nights spent shopping

in the huge malls and stores in Kuwait

and the Bazaar in Turkey'
with their rows and rows of Bangles.

Gold, esp. these types of Bangles are

traditional in Turkey to give as wedding gifts.

Beat the heat with these Beauties ~
add a breezy Skirt
and Candlelight dinner,
you've got it made in the Shade.

 A perfect card to send
to A Some One..
also my favorite Summer flowers.

Rainbowlicious.....Muffin Style

 

We Love Rainbows.

I've been wanting to try these Rainbow Cupcakes

{Rainbow pancakes are next}.

So we did.

They came out really Fantastic looking...

I didn't even frost them because I didn't want to hide any of the CoLoR~

we got lots of compliments on them.

 

Gather your supplies:

White Cake Mix

Food CoLoRing

Six Bowls

Muffin / Cupcake pan

Mix the cake mix per instructions.

USE THE EGG WHITE ONLY!!!

if you add the Yolk,

it makes the batter yellow

and your colors will be off.

I used a measuring cup

to equally divide the batter into the bowls.

It worked out to approx. 3/4 cup of batter 

in each bowl.

Start coloring to your desired shade or satisfaction.

Once you have done that,

start layering in your pan.

 I used a Muffin pan for 2 reasons:

1} The bigger size yields a better Rainbow

2} 6 Muffins will disappear quicker than 12 Cupcakes

and yes, I used the old

ROY G BIV

to make sure I was layering correctly!

{obviously, the Purple is IV}

Bake

Cool

Viola!

it just makes me so damn Happy.

My "VinTaGe" Art....or work i've done in the past

My FaVoRiTe tOOLs ~ Dremel Work Station

is da BomB!

How could I have not gotten this til now???

I've been running around

trying to figure out what power tools to get 

and with this one stand I can combine at least three of what I need: 

drill press

sander

buffer/polisher

When working with smaller pieces,
especially Resin,
you need the smaller tools.

And you need to be able to have both hands free.

Viola!

The mostest greatest thing is the

itty bitty tiny little holes 

that I can now place anywhere I want

using the smallest Drill Bit and the Dremel.

You get a clean, professional strike

{in Resin, you can see EVERY crack, drill mistake, and crevice}

I've been going through all my Old Pieces,

and trying out different things.

Next up,

is some work drilling GLaSS.

The goal is to be able to manipulate the GLaSS piece,

and hopefully minimize jumpage.

Ta to The Chook Man..MUAH!!!

{caused he'd rather have me at home, safe with my Toys,
than out chasing Thugs}

Tania Marmolejo

I discovered Ms. Marmolejo today, 

in the midst of my cyber~surfing;
a standout Art,
in the overwhelming sea of images.....

I was immediately SmiTTen

They are,
Seductive and Inviting.
Inducing within Me, a desire to leap into the
painting and be with her....

The Artist...

She inspires Me.

She is with Her work

where I want to be with Mine.

Her figures are Realistic 

with this Dreamy quality.

{sigh}

To render that in Paint and Pencil....

Her LoVe for Women
and their Beauty 

seems obvious to Me. 

I'm not a critic,

I just know what appeals to me.

I look at her art~

I want to spout Poetry....

I know no Poetry.

just sayin.

Not being prolific in this type of painting,

these types of prints always draw me in.....

{yes, yes I did}

Of course the Red paint is Lagniappe.

Here at home, Lagniappe is where it's at, 

the best part, 

a TreaT!

It looks to me like Cadmium Red Deep

BeStiLL my beating Heart.
