A WAY BACK INTO ART

Now that I've obtained employment, I can finally delve back into my art without that guilt feeling, the one that says, "you shouldn't be doing art, you don't even have money coming in."

Our friends, Kathy and Stacy, just celebrated their 25th anniversary. I was fortunate enough to attend their celebrato
ry bash last night, and fun was certainly had by all.

One of the bathrooms in their home, which happens to be one I helped them work on years ago, is themed in vintage nudes. To add to that collection, I made for them a card/wall hanging. The middle area with the writing and picture was flooded with self-leveling gel and set to dry. Some of the objects stick out and some are totally immersed. It was really a lot of fun to make.


On another note, I promised in my last post that I would post a picture or two of the frames I made at Andy's house. This is a wooden frame, patterned in a bamboo look. I thought it turned out really great. I hate to take a picture of a picture because you always get that "glass glare", but I think it shows off the effect pretty well.

All in all, a great start back into art.

I am thrilled that you are back in the art mood :) The piece you created for your friends is wonderful. I bet they loved it.

When did you have to find another job? I must have missed something about that bank job. So what is the new one? Did you get my "birthday" card? If not, I got your print a week or so ago...very lovely and can't wait to get a frame for it. But I must say, the whole thing is HUGE and I have no idea where I will put it *grin*

Dealing with sick kids, yet again. This is getting so old.

Love your framed photo by the way, nice matting.
