before i start, i wanted to mention that for the rest of the year, anyone who purchases my crackled window tutorial will get two free digital collage sheets… all in the spirit of the holidays and having more to work with. if you’ve already purchased the tutorial and didn’t get the collage sheets, send me an email and i shall send whichever two you desire.
i had visions of grandeur for this post as i’ve been sick with the flu and not blogged lately, but having said ailment, i spent much more time on my arse than making progress on anything art-related. so, you’ll have things to look at next time.
and without further ado, the winner of the accordion book, art tutorial, collage sheets and embellishment give-away is (says the husby), ms. katie! i removed names so he did NOT base his pick upon his utter adoration for this lovely lady but rather a legitimate handful of chuckles (i mean who wouldn’t laugh at a teletubby with a dildo!?). he also said “the one about the party should at least get a digital collage sheet” so kerin, let me know which you want — great idea he had! 🙂 it feels awkward to me that husby ironically picked the only two people he’s met, so i say that jonee gets a digital collage sheet too because i laughed really hard when i read the comment.
for the holidays and because web design work is sickeningly slow (i’m now officially feeling this recession bullshit), i’m going to be making things i don’t typically make due to lack of time: frameable greeting cards and christmas/solstice ornaments… like green and red skulls, and such. 😉 stay tuned.
p.s. kerin, that card has RESIN CLAY on it. 😉

YAY! The only other thing I have ever won in my life was a rabbit. Yes, I said rabbit. I won her at a 4-H thing when I was a kid (and yes I said 4-H, I grew up in farm country) and about three months after I got said bunny the mean old lady down the street killed it becuse it kept busting out of its cage and getting into her garden! I hope no one kills my prize this time!!! Thank you!

Yay the Evil Seamstress! Go the Evil Seamstress! What do you mean Paul doesn’t adore me? What? What? Boo the Evil Seamstress. Ha ha.
Well you go girl on the xmasy front. I can’t be arsed just yet – my brain and body ache just thinking about xmas…
…of course that might be because I’m seriously overtired right now (I was tired about 20 hours ago and it’s now way past my bed-time (it’s 11.15pm now)).
I SO loved talking to you on the weekend Alicia!! Have I told you how much I adore YOU?

what a mean ol’ biddy, katie! did she eat it? that is horrible!! i’m going to finish bundling up your stuff soon and we should get together on friday or saturday if you have some time. or sunday. i’m calling you now to work it out.
yeps, you won too, kerin! and i LOVE resin clay! everyone should use it! of course the only thing resin clay on there is tiny, but it’s there none the less.
lisa — it’s been sucking indeed, but i got a chunk of work after whining yesterday, ironically. i should whine more often. i had a little over the weekend and now i’m booked through this week and into next. yay for that! it doesn’t help that our books are to be sent out in 5 days though — people better pay fast! hah.
debs, you’re too cute, lady. i’m sure he would adore you if he’d met you. i typically don’t even like the whole christmas thing. we celebrate for finn, but also celebrate solstice so that’s nice. i adore you too, sweets, and guess what? i sent you a package today!! and i get to send you another in five days!! (LOVED talking to you too!!)
off to see what the hell is going on in my kitchen… i think my husby is BAKING something. i’m going to faint.

I do like the crackle effect– there is a paste I can put on my paintings to get the same sort of crackle effect with acrylic paint– such fun.

it is fun, isn’t it!! i love the paste too, except the favorite one i have is too toxic for me to use very often. such is life though sometimes, i’m afraid.
i must go pop by your blog again and see if you’ve shared more gorgeous photos with us from you trip! i want to hear more about it.

congratulations to the winners! And, I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been sick; it’s hard to stay upbeat when you’re down and business is slow. Guess it’s the most important time of all to have hope (did I just say that?)
hugs,

Congrats to the winners, how lucky they are! Love that crackle effect, Yumm! Sorry to hear you are under the weather again. It’s been like that here for me too over the last few months, some nasty old viruses around these days but at long last everythings back to normal and hopefully you will be too soon! My studio is all packed now and I feel naked without it, LOL! Of course now I can’t do anything I am absolutely bursting with creativity and ideas and writing down copious notes for when it is all unpacked again! I should have enough ideas for projects for at least a decade the way I’m going! Hugs dear friend, hope you’re better soon!

Alicia…that piece is fabuous..love the colors, textures…design.. there’s nothing I don’t love about it..just gorgeous.. even in sickness you’ve got it! Sorry I’ve been under a rock.. I’ve been there with my book…sweating the impending deadline…it’s like I’m in school again. Reminds of the dreams where it’s mid term time and I’ve never attended the class..or the one where I’m naked at school. Bizarre. Thanks so much for the poppy pic.. they are truly lovely art by mother nature. I hope you’re feeling a tad better by now.. and by the way.. did I mention that your piece is stunning? xxo..L
