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!
Finally 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.
Just 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.
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
When life begins to
become
like a looped tape,
the sameness
kills our souls.
There is no time for silence.
No time to dream.
Remember 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.
