Fun Faces...

a couple of fun faces... I really enjoy makeing them. ..  Hop you do to...

Girls Can Wear Top Hats too...

It is all about the Hats...
 I love to see women who have the confidence to wear them!


 I found this picture in a vintage Vouge book about hats.  I first collaged hand written letter in the background.  I then layered some rose tissue paper that came in a gift I got my wife from the Brighten store.  I copied the picture form the vogue book and colored it with colored pencils because it was black and white.  I then scattered some silver embossing beads and warmed them with the embossing gun.  When the silver was nice and melted I placed a ascot label that I found on the Graphic Fairy's website.  After every thing had cooled and dried I went over it several times with mat medium and fished it all off with a couple of layers of clear acrylic. 

Here it is double matted and ready for a frame...

Last year I took a mission trip to Jamaica.  It was so much fun and I really enjoyed myself.  While I was there I was able to attend a church service where all of the women wore hats... Here in the states we don't dress like that.  I love that British influence on their culture.  I have several pictures of the women in their hats and I keep thinking I will do a series of atc's of women in hats and find a way to incorporate those pictures.   

I hope this atc brings as much joy to your heart as it did to mine when I was creating it.   There is something about her that intrigues me.  I just wish I could meet her and hear her story. 

Snow Prince

SNOW PRINCE

It has been a long snowy week here in OKC.  I couldn't help but post this atc of a "Frost Prince" that I created this summer for a competition.  He is soo cool as it snows all around him.  I wish I could look so good when it is cold.  Hope he brings you a smile on a cold winter day....  Just think Spring is coming.  Maybe I will create a "Prince of Spring"  as I sit and dream of warmer weather. 

He also looks good in a white mat..... 



Some things must be Black and White!

I think this drawing is fun!

This picture reminds me of a Doctor Seuss Book.

I would to know what you think?
