IT'S TIME!!!!

Thanks for shakin me up Elizabeth of Alteredbooklover.blogspot.com
I'm still here and have been working on various projects like the clock shown here.  Anyone who knows me knows that I love vintage images, especially from the 50's.  I took some of those images and collaged a background on canvas for this one of a kind clock that is hanging in my art room.  My favorite part of this piece is the second hand which is actually a picture of a woman's legs covered in fishnet stockings.  What could be more kitchy I ask you...well, glad you asked. 
This background collage sheet was compiled using various vintage ads and pictures.  Feel free to take a copy and use it in your own work.  I would LOVE to see what you create with it so please send it on.
I would have more images, lot's more, of the pieces I have been working on, but alas, my six year old digital camera fails to cooperate.  Just what is the life span of a digital camera these days anyway???  When I get another camera I will post many pics of these projects I am either working on or have finished:  Cross made with numerous vintage religious medals, more Taintor-esque pieces, altered dominoes and charms (this was new for me), and the biggest project is a shadowbox depicting the life of a school marm which includes a frame covered in antique book spines.  Sound intriguing?  I hope so. 
They say that whatever you are doing at the beginning of the New Year is what you will be doing for the remainder of the year so I plan to spend lots of time in the next few days working on art projects. 
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well I'm glad I could shake you up a bit, Marianna. And what better piece to count down to the new year! I have missed your art, but got so busy playing catch-up that I didn't have time to check on you until now.

And you are right. I agree that whatever we are doing on New Year's day is what we will be doing all year. I look forward to many more of these lovely pieces.

So here's to a year of art and friendship. Happy New Year. I'll see you in 2011.
