FLOPS...FLIPPED

 here is a typical example of a happy mistake gone good!
 
 
 
 i had painted on the opposite side-
plaster over burlap...it didn't turn out and it looses
it's plaster charm when one applies too much paint.
so...i flipped it and did this little painted collage.
 
 
 
i really like how every thing peeks through, including the burlap,
so i am keeping it just so, i MAY yellow her ear, yet, and MAY not...we
shall see ;)
i plastered her to a painting book binding...and now...
i have to go ask Richard to help me with a hanger for the back...
he's so inventive, thank goodness!!
 
HAPPY ACCIDENTS FOR YOU TOO!

OUR OWN QUOTES

sometimes when we look back on some of our first work...
we may be surprised in so many ways...
i won't go into all that, but am so glad that i have held on
to a few or have photos for remembering...
 
i learned some new wonders today from myself!
 
and i hope you have too!
