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!

Re-Purposed Art Work

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!

FLYING WITH YOU, SISTER MINE...
