Well, for days I have been trying to get the simplest of photos taken and sometimes I think it is just me.....I am unwilling to sit still long enough to get something finished.
Yesterday was different. I really kicked things into gear and got packages wrapped, myself exercised, presents for the Budgie Boyz ordered, and, most importantly, photos taken.
Above are the ATCs with the two fiber ones. I lost a bit of color due to the intensity of the neighboring pieces, but do you detect a theme, either content or color??? (God forbid I get out of my red/heart rut....I'm happy there, thank-you-very-much!) They do look kinda cool all lined up.... ;-)
The collage papers I posted the other day have turned into these two pieces, which are getting closer to what I want. They are quite difficult to photograph due to the interference colors used on them, so the actual background colors are a bit more brownish/black where they seem more purpley here.
It was during the present wrapping and wailing along with a Brian Setzer Christmas CD that I knew I wanted the stamped background brought up more (see close up shot) so I ran to the wet studio, mixed some color and stamped away.
These are not my typical works, and I still like them because I have played with them, both with colors and content. Sometimes you need a vacation from the hard thinking work. Fun is a necessity.
I'd like to take credit for all I accomplished yesterday myself but I have to admit, my day started with a beautiful web-based church service, and the second contemporary service had the most ROCKIN' version of "Oh Come, Oh Come Emmanuel" I have ever heard......now truly, that was what got me jumping and wailing (that's *singing* in normal terms....I have no gift of voice what so ever....but I'm LOUD). It was exceptional!
So now I'm off on my appointed rounds. Have a Happy Monday.
Do something to lift your heart and make you smile!
I bid you....
Pax.
