And so I continue...

 So let's see if blogland treats me more kindly today...vbg.
(surely it couldn't have anything to do with me forgetting how to do things on it...could it???...vbg)

OK..where did I leave off??..Oh yes....the one eyed Mermaid,(which for her, is better than two because it has a built in torch for travelling through the water at night.)

This next ATC is my attempt at Zetti art.
September- 2010

Another Zetti style for a "Marie-Antoinette" theme.
November-2010

  And another...December 2010, using an image of the well endowed 1950s movie star, Jane Mansfield for the theme of "Queen of....."


This is a soldered pendant I made back in August 2010. I used an actual Tintype photo, added a copper German Scrap wing and some rub-ons. I cut the outer wings from copper scrim. The death notice in the back of it is from a 1909 newspaper.


And yet another "zetti" styled ATC...I think I have fallen into the Zetti conclave and can't get out! Good thing I LURV IT!!...vbg. This is a transparency of a vintage woman over alcohol inked BG with a printed head and nest added. The blue bird is 3D mounted.










This ATC was quickly created from bits I had on my desk. The BG music manuscript has a tranferred image on it but I added a printed headover the original one.

 Even though this poor fellow... and his seven brothers... didn't make it to the Macabre Corpse book swap due to having been ruined by my leaking ceiling whilst we were away over seas, I wanted to include him here. It took me all day to compile him in PhotoShop ( and I have a witness that can verify that...vbg) so you can imagine how disappointed and peed-off I was to find nearly all of them stuck together and had to make up another lot!

Welcome back! I haven't been much better at keeping my blog up... but I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.

Your jewelry dolls are really awesome; the soldered pendant is poignant and beautiful; and the morphed ancestors card is so cool! Keep up the great work!!
