Wake Up, Blog!


It's been quite a while since my last post! Oh well, I never intended this blog to be a diary of my life, anyway - I just wanted to share my art, even if it's with only a few people.


Here's the art part: Since it's windy here today, I thought I'd post a picture of my "Bad Hair Day" tip-in page. Everyone has a bad hair day when it's windy, right? I know I do, because the wind blows my hair up, and it doesn't go back down, ha, ha!


How I made the page: Background stencilled with bottled inks, added a few postage stamps, magazine cut-out face and hand, "sweater" from purchased textured paper, all types of wild, wooly and stringy yarns for hair, crow cut from craft foam sheet. Appropriate "found" words cut from books were added, such as: "See it?", "natural", "unusual effects", and "eye-catching".
