Bayou Book Eater Up~per

Our School Librarian has seen a project that she really liked,
and asked if I could do one for the Library.
It was a book deposit that looked like a mouth, that would eat the books.
Yep, sure, No Problem.

I was able to complete it in two days.
I ended up using a sheet of Cabinet Plywood. 
It was smoother, cleaner, 
and didn't have that awful smell
that a lot of plywood seems to have these days.

The first day was spent on cutting...
measure, measure, and then measure again.
I used a circle saw but a table saw
would have been so much easier and smoother.
A jigsaw was used to cut out the mouth.
Lightly sand the edges of the outside and the mouth.

I spent the whole day Monday, doing the art work.
At first I was going to use my Tempra paint but instinct told me 
to do a little googling to see if it would work.
Just as I thought, Tempra will most likely flake off. 
So to be on the safe side, I went with my Acrylics.
I gessoed/ primed the board and let dry. 
It does tend to dry rather quickly, which is good.
Sketched out the design and started painting.
  I didn't stop til it was done!
I brought it to school the next day,
and Lady Librarian was oh so happy.
One of the Dads did a great job of attaching the board
all neatly and lovely to the desk.
This way it can be changed out or moved easily and with little damage to the desk.

The Kiddos have really been enjoying it
and what better compliment can you get???

October FuLL MoOn ~ Hunter's MoOn


Merry it is in the good greenwood, 
When the mavis and merle are singing, 
When the deer sweeps by, 
and the hounds are in cry, 
And the Hunter's horn is ringing.
-Sir Walter Scott

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


Back in the day,
In a post~Howard Johnson's Cup o' Joe & Pie
and pre~Starbuck's Faaancy PaPer Cuppa era,
there was a really CooL thing happening, 
small local Coffee Houses were coming alive.


Directly meshed with much of the Art Community,
it was a very magical time.
People gathering,
Peace spreading,
Intelligent and Reflective Conversations
and a place to enjoy Artist's Works.

One of The Turkish Cousins, became the joint owner 
of such an Establishment.
Tucked into a brick cottage,
surrounded by greenery,
and a beautiful brick patio,
I found My Place.
My Heart literally was 24*7 Starbursts

The TC's vision was this:
Pick a bunch of Artist's Friends & Family,
give them a table top or two,
let them paint what they want,
resinate said table tops,
attach base...
Viola~
that was serious Mad Vision skills!

 I was honored to be One of them.
Since the tables were never meant to be sold
I picked two of my favorite cards from 
The Inner Child deck,
Gaia and The World.
They were painted in Acrylic,
and later Resinated
{unfortunately, this is the only pic I have}

We signed our names as the artist
who did the table,
and it was the first time anyone
recognized my name from a piece of art.

Sadly, 
once the business took off,
the other guy, who had majority,
kicked The TC off and out.
Shortly after that, they closed.
No one knows what ever happened to the tables....
I hope they found a nice place.

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


 Creating miniature scenes or captured moments
in small boxes fascinates Me.

I really should do more of them.
For many years, I would take old cigar boxes
and create Magic Boxes with them
to give to Friends for Yulemas.
It actually became a looked forward to event.


This was based on the song
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

 "Do I contradict myself? 
 Very well, then I contradict myself,
I am large, I contain multitudes."
~Walt Whitman


 Gemini

 Yellow ~ Coldplay








Woods or Waves???
Either way,
make any Holiday a Happy one
with this chEEry bag!



For those really Hott Days
or those really Hott nights...
{and I'm not necessarily talking about heat outside}




 
 This would make a great TaTToo




Golden hues of 
Yellow really do add a touch of Bright and Shiny.

This style of Mary Jane is most appealing to Me.
Low Heels and Big Buckles.







Can't decide what to make? Make em both!
Chocolate in one,
Cheesecake in the other....



Where the hell is my Time Machine? 
I LOVE Yellow!
And I wish these pieces were Mine.
Allllll Mine....
omg, like, look how totally Happy the room is!
I already have the song list picked out.
