    Where’s the pics?

    Yep, I realize that most of my photos on here are now missing. I had a bit of a gallery catastrophe and haven’t had a chance to do anything about it. I’ll get the gallery back up as soon as I can, but the old thumbnails and links will likely remain broken. *sigh* You’ll still be able to find any of the pics by going straight to the gallery and digging around, but not until I get it reinstalled. Sorry!

    Alphabet Swap

    copyright 2008 Melisa McCurleyFinally got the next batch of Alphabet ATCs painted. E is for Elephant, F is for Frog, G is for Guitar, and H is for Hat are now in the gallery. This batch was done in goache except for the letters, which are acrylic.

    Altered Art Charms

    nullJust a quickie post to show these art charms I made for a swap before I send them off to my swap partners. I used wooden Sudoku tiles which I aged with distress ink, so they each have a number on the back. I added 18k gold leaf pen around the edges, bead danglies, and they are sealed with Micro Glaze. I should make some for my poor empty etsy shop. I’ve got some bigger ones started but they aren’t finished yet. These are barely 3/4″ square.

    No time to dream

    I’ve been having computer problems here for quite a while so nothing has been getting scanned and the poor blog hasn’t been getting updated. It isn’t really resolved yet, but I do have a scan today. This is a page from one of my Altered Text books. Click it to see the whole page, bigger. The text reads
    null
    When life begins to
    become
    like a looped tape,
    the sameness
    kills our souls.
    There is no time for silence.
    No time to dream.

    Look what I got in the mail!

    nullRemember that altered notebook swap with the Asian theme? Well, this is the beautiful notebook I received from my swap partner, Kathy L. It is actually a little scrapbook and has nice heavy paper so I will use it as a sketchbook/journal. The scanner can’t capture the beautiful gold of the leaves and cording, but trust me, it’s perfect!

    I finished a small knitting project last night, so I’ll try to get a photo of that later today.
