OLD DOG, NEW TRICK

I cut out the parts and assembled this guy together using a rivet gun to fasten all together.  SO FUN!!!

NOW

 I want to make more!!!

SWEEP FOR ME NO MORE

Just finished her.. #3 in a series...  Coming up with creative legs has been the most fun.. and most challenging part.  I perfer the skinny long legs.  Yesterday I went scouting for ideas.. and found these back scratchers

which are delightful for long legs.. even have notches in the feet for toes.  Interesting note:  on the back of this old license plate.. a 1951 Indiana plate the following is written in pencil:

Luther Cadwell

Rushville, Indiana

off his 1931 Model T Ford

I wonder what Luther would think of if he could see his license plate now!!!

One of those quirky thoughts that go through my head when I up using old objects in my art.

NOW
to work.

SEW ANGELIC

She is quite colorful with her Carmen Miranda sleeves and fun free flying hair. 

 I had lots of fun creating her!!!

And she has colorful leggings to match!!!

NOW on to #3....

WISHFUL THINKING

An apt name that...  She has a wishbone in her hair. So naturally, I added the printed dictionary pages transferred onto fabric and cut into strips (as an "afterthought"..)    :)

I want to do a series of these license plate art dolls.  I made one last fall and knew I had more to create.

Here she is in full...

After I took this picture, she decided she needed more volume with her hair. 

I love making assemblages.  Her legs are one of those wooden folding carpenter's rulers.. that I

took apart.. laboriously I might add.  More art dolls in the works..

but for

NOW

I have to attack some other chores.

I AM WHIRLING IN JOY

FOR AN ART-FILLED FRIDAY!! 

 WAHOOO!

SWEET ANTICIPATION

I am like a kid waiting for Santa Claus.  Counting the days... which I swear are dragging by like

a sludge of mud. 15 days till my girls fly in. wahooo!!!!

(pause here for happy dance!)

Thanks to my trusty art journaling I can vent the lack of patience, plus keeping busy with work and ART.  And spring is always a busy time in our yard, house, etc.  It has been absolutely delightful weather and of course, they are calling for 6-12 inches of snow tonight.  When you live in the mtns, this is just mother nature showing you she can.  I am amazed at how quickly the piles of snow around our house have vanished in a few short weeks.  I can look out back on the patio and it is all gone.  Thank you SUN!

We need one good snow storm after the girls arrive.. so little Emalie can witness SNOW!  Her first ever.

That will be so magical to witness.  Must remember to keep my camera always handy.  I am

embracing this visit and know this will be a lifetime gift that I will always cherish.

But for

NOW

I must ARTFULLY create my day!

KISS ME I'M IRISH

A loverly Green Day..  well, if you look really closely outside, you might see some green peeking through.

Spring is coming.. it's been delightfully warmish..  I could sit like a lizard in the sun and simply be.

But now today... because it's a big workday for Lunar to catch up on orders.

  Art is patiently waiting for me.

  Many projects

in line and I am aching for a full on

Art Day..

 Garden Day.

Spring Cleaning Day.

sigh.

I need a month of Full On Days!

NOW

to work on orders.

Wish me the Luck of the Irish!
