"Brush with death"!

This is a mini assemblage for a friend. When I was in Mexico with Michael DeMeng for "the Day of the Dead "workshop, he talked about putting a skull on a brush and calling it, his brush with death! Well, that cracked me up!!!

So , taking his idea a few steps beyond, I decided to create this brush with death!

Helga's challenge!

Pick out a piece of art you love and be inspired to create your own art!

We got this painting in England 15 years ago. It has inspired many of my paintings.

My First Official Picture Done With My New Apple!

I think I know How I did it...what's that blue line doing there?

out of order!!!

I am in the process of installing a new computer,printer,scanner. I took my harddrive down to apple and pick up my new apple on monday(supossedly with all my info from my old computer saved). My first lesson isn't until the 19th. I am working on my laptop for now. I expect the next few weeks will be challenging to say the least, since the tech words shine on me like a deer caught in headlights!!!! This was a scary zone for me to try, but my 6 year old workhorse dell was really not performing and I thought it might literally EXPLODE!
Wish me luck and hope you keep checking in to read/see the latest!~

Congratulations guys!!!!

Back to doing decoupage today!!!

I picked the theme, "spring is in the air" for my artchix group lottery. The cards being made are so lovely and lots of participants. So I decided the lottery winner would need a cigar box to hold their winnings!! I gessoed the top and than decoupaged a floral image of mine that I digitalized. Added the chixie flower girl and some german scrap and a little paint! Voila, a printemps boit pour les "atcs"!
