November Hike in the Woods

There's nothing like a brisk November hike in the woods....especially if it's with one of your Little Darlings! 
We came upon some Bois d'Arc fruit that had fallen from the tree! They are so beautiful added to any arrangement.  In Ohio and those parts they call them osage oranges...in Texas we call them plain 'ole horse apples! Of course one always stumbles across some cactus in the pastures and woods of Texas.  And then we finished up by sitting a spell on the bridge at Whispering Woods...our secret place!

Have a great week y'all!

Blue Goodies on a Blue Monday

Whew! I've been away too long...what with Fritz and Frieda coming to visit and then Francine and Hunky Jones inviting us to their Halloween Party...we have been very busy!  Next on the agenda is to get creations ready for a fun weekend in Galveston.  There will be a trunk show at Tina's on the Strand featuring none other than gypsy czech (pix by dix)!  In the meantime you can view a few Blue Things here and on Sally's blog HERE!  Stay tuned for some "Rusty Stuff" in the making next week!  Have a great time this week!

Pumpkins and Goblins

It's almost time for Halloween, one of my most favorite times of the year!

Gotta love those Fairy Pumpkins! Might try to plant some in the garden next year!  Yeah!!

This is a creepy mixed media collage inside of a cigar box.  I created it a couple of years ago for the Taylor Artist Guild Halloween exhibit.  Love how the pliers turned out!

Nothing like a bowl full of rocks painted like jack-o-lanterns! Such a fun thing to do with the Little Darlings.  To see more Fall foliage etc. click HERE and go to Pink Saturday!  Have a great weekend y'all!

Bras for a Cause/WOYWW #174

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!  And on my work desk today is the bra I created for a local silent auction to raise funds for The Heart of Texas Purple Cancer Warriors.  My friend, Mary Linda owner of the fabulous boutique, Frills in Taylor, Texas is hosting the event.  The silent auction begins Thursday, October 4 and closes on Saturday, October 6 with a big party and style show.  A great time is in store for all who attend. If you are in the area, please stop by and bid on my creation, titled "Support Group."

Really Biggg Show! WOYWW #173

Getting ready for our Really Bigggg Show (as Ed Sullivan once said) tomorrow evening !  Here is what has been on my work desk for several weeks now!  I'm sharing a sneak peek once again of one of the pieces that will be on exhibit at Atelier 95 in downtown Taylor, Texas.  If you happen to be in Central Texas tomorrow evening you might want to stop by and see our Taylor Artist Guild exhibit titled "Chinati".

Ten artists who were inspired on our recent trip to the Texas desert will be showing some of their creations.  Mine is a mixed media/altered photo piece.  I was inspired by a photo I took of this fabulous rusted truck we came across in the desert.

Chinati Creations - WOYWW

Searching through all the photos I took on the early summer trip to far West Texas has me pumped up to create for the upcoming Chinati art exhibit on September 27.  Here is a sneak peek of what is on my work desk today!  Papers and other bits of ephemera have been glued to this old drawer.  My plan is to have the drawer hold relics that I unearthed at the Chinati Hot Springs Resort from the decades of trash buried in a ravine!

Pink Umbrellas on a Pink Saturday

A couple of years ago I took this photo of two little darlings and then altered it to include in a mixed media collage.  Seemed fitting to share pink umbrellas and "Gentle Breeze" on this breezy

 Pink Saturday!  These two little darlings paraded around the grounds of our Texas  Renaissance Festival with their lovely umbrellas.

Happy Pink Saturday y'all.  To see more fun pink things click HERE!
