The writing's on the wall

Ciel tried SO hard to get me to delete Lincoln from this one … she’s heavily into Abraham Lincoln and wasn’t at all pleased that I had put him behind bars! Not that he’s imprisoned …. my alternative title was “and butterflies are free to fly”, from the old Elton John song “Someone Saved my Life Tonight”. Anyhoo, I think Abe fits right in there!

This one’s landscape oriented, so you’re have to click on it!

Someone stop me now …

I know that this is overkill, and I do promise in the future not to blog EVERYTHING I create, but I got excited when I found these little pieces I made a while back. They were made into microscope slide pendants – you know, the type where you sandwich an image between 2 microscope slides, then solder around the edge? Yup, those are the ones!

This one truly was my first digital assemblage piece.

You’ll have to click on this one, it’s wide, so I couldn’t do a full sized image. This one actually never made it into a pendant. I like the ’70s feel though. He could be the Marlboro Man in disguise!

Back that thang up

I know I told myself I was going to be working today (I have some grant applications to submit), but this is WAY more fun!

I use this image for my yahoo 360 page, which is well neglected these days. Now I’ve put it better use

First digital ACEO

At the risk of starting another blog, this is going to have to be my “non-everyday-blah-blah-blah” blog and a place to show what I’m working on.

So, with no further adieu, here is my first fully digital ACEO … I used a scan of a dictionary page, layered so I could showcase just some of the words, a downloaded (purchased, yes!) pic of some risque lady, a scanned Sani-Flush ad from a 1944 magazine, and some Photoshop brushes.

It’s a feeble first attempt, but it’s all mine!!
