Had another play day with Marci yesterday. Once again, we didn't get much done other than working out how to use her Cricut and Marci making the hard decision as to which of my virgin stamps she wants to add to her stash....eventually!
However, I have discovered that just having a like-minded friend around, my MUSE comes back and demands to play.
Before it was time for Marci to leave, I did begin to make an ATC out of scraps on my desk....using the piece of toilet paper that I cleaned the alcohol ink off my brush after painting the half doll the other day...which resulted in a yummy variation of one of my fave colours...orange.
There was enough of the paper to back two ATCs so before it was time to put the dinner on I actually got two finished, and because my muse was not satisfied for me to sit back and rest on my laurels after dinner (so to speak...it was actually my butt I was sitting on...vbg), I sauntered back to my den and made up another ATC before my eyes told me it was time to sleep.
I often have nights of insomnia, and last night proved to be one of those...along with a semi-serious case of heart-burn (signs of old age), so after tossing and turning for an hour, I eventually got up and had a goodly dose of Bi-Carb soda which caused several relieving burps! By this time I was wide awake so I made a cuppa (Chai) and was forced (muse pushed me) back into my den, where I not only made another ATC, but went thru' a box of scrap images that has been accumulating for-EVA, and threw....yes!...threw some out! By 3 am I was ready for bed.....again!
All that being said...I guess it's time to show you the end result of my day's...and night's creativity!

| This is the first of two that are the same that I made in the afternoon. The wings are 3D mounted. Lurv that orange paper! The ATC on the left began life as a medieval woman transferred onto the music sheet. I gave her a new face, head and a handful of eggs. The fish are 3D mounted. The other one was also of a medieval woman image transferred to old newspaper but had the same image printed on transparency as an overlay. The nest and birdie are 3D mounted. This face image is one of my favourite images.It is a Teesha Moore collage sheet image but I added the glasses in Photoshop. |
