AUTUMN IS BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE HALLOWEEN!

My newest passion is creating digital art on PLOYVORE. Their link is at the top os my sidebar. While I enjoy playing with ink and paper more than anything else, it is fun to sit and relax creating art without having to gather up supplies or put anything away. Here are some of my autumn musings…

ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WILD WEST...

This is my sweet friend Miss Vicki and her beloved husband Dan.   The time…days gone by when dreams were still young…

FRAGMENTS FROM INKA HEATON

I created this enchanting little fairy book with fragments that Inka Heaton included with her fairy ATC.  Thank you Inka for all of the pretty little bits and pieces.  The handmade paper is very inspiring and I simply must learn how to do this soon.  I reinforced the delicate paper edges with ribbon and just adore this tiny book!!!  The porcelain dove was handcrafted by Cindy Jarasunas who works her magic at dustyrosedesigns.etsy.com.  It give the book an ethereal feel…I can’t stop looking at it so must really love it!!
