March 20 last day in the sign of Pisces


Two more fishes but not the typical opposites that usually depict Pisces. i found it most unusual that these two are facing each other. hmmm i wonder what it means...maybe we'll finally come to terms with ourselves and live in harmony forever after. I sure hope so. I am tired of the constant battle and insecurities of feeling and doing only 50% of everything while my other half does its best to pull me the opposite way.

This background has a very stiff, hard finish, hard to cut and is chipping on the edges but i like it anyway. I know i created this relatively recently but cant actually remember how or what i used....i have some memory problems due to the liver disease Primary Biliary Cirrhosis. My analysis is that it consists of gel medium with probably alcohol inks swirled in and sprinkled with the tiny beads. The pear was inked up then lightly spritzed with water before stamping.

March 17 Take a deep breath


This nude mountain climbing lady just sort of appeared in an otherwise uninteresting background. I just pencilled her in to give her a life. The sun was a bit of a stretch though as i gave it a little extra color that had'nt been there previously.

March 14


The image of the lady is hard to see in a scan but has iridescent colors of turquoise, lime, purple and gold when you tip and turn it in the light. It's the nail polish technique. The lady and butterfly are layered on a painted paper towel.

March 12


I've been away a while but now i'm b..a..c..kkk. Even though i've been too busy to make new art every day i have re-styled a few old pieces which is an art in itself, lol.
March 12 and 13 were the originals of my contributions to a little fat book; i resized them a little and layered them over a mulberry type paper.
The big flower is a bloom of Clematis Montana. Although the color has mellowed out with age now it was pure white when i first pressed it. Its a very sturdy thick bloom and this specimen is tiny in comparison to the size it usually produces. When creating pressed flower art big usually means unusable.
The smaller flowers are cherry blossoms which are thin and delicate. The bckgrds of both consist of paper napkins; the writing, fish, music and the candles.
