Just clowning around.


Just playing with an idea.

I just wanted to see if this would work.  Maybe it will turn into something later.

Here is Medusa.  I so love this lady.  I feel like this when my hair won't behave.

A weekend spent with the ladies


This lady was the first.

She needed a little flair.  So here is how she finished up.

Then along came the second lady.  "The queen of Hearts".

And finally here is the lady looking at the future.

A very tiny paper cut done a while ago.

Here is my latest lady.
I'm not sure what to call here yet but I think of her as a little bohemian.

Razor cut.....time and patience pay off.


Here is the start of my latest razor cut.

With alittle more time the open space increases.

You can never have enough vines.........should I stop?

A little bit more and then it will be perfect some of the changes are very suttle can you tell?........Done.

A lot of the little bits that the razor deemed unnecessary.
I call this photo "Aftermath".

Freaky and Funky.

Here is a new drawing.  Sort of Halloween freaky.

New ring made with an Italian glass bead my friend Gayle brought back last year.

Fun funky and very wearable.

Weedend in the Garden

It should actually say Weekend in the Garden.  Must be a freudian slip......haha.
Thinned out the bulbs in the front garden patch.

Organizing the bulbs at my feet.

What a mess but so much better after the clean up.
With the start of Fall its time to clean up.  If the rain holds off long enough We may get all of it done.
More next weekend as we only seem to get one day of dry weather on the weekends lately.
