Many thanks!!! Kristin at Retro Cafe Art!

Many Thanks Kristin!!

I'm so honoured tonight, that Kristin Hubick 

at Retro Cafe Art

listed my body form on her blog

Retro Cafe Art Gallery!

She's also listed it's picture in her

shop as an example for using 

these great paper wings!

Please check both her blog and shop

and you can purchase a set of your own wings:)

(I have the links in my Favourites Listing:)

Who knew so many would like this! 

I'm gobsmacked, as it's a very

girlie piece, which isn't usually

my thing...but when my Art Pal

Leslie saw her, I knew she had to

go live with Leslie, as she has a

wonderful collection of these,

but also, Leslie had a box of

Tim Horton's Donuts, so at the

time it was a good trade:)

So the body form has left the building:)

(But I know it'll be well loved in

it's new home:)

So, last you heard, I was down with a rotten cold.

Still in p.j's, day 9 now, and my husband 

figures it's now pneumonia.

Being that I hardly have a voice,

he's rather enjoying my condition.

Although it has backfired on him

(grin)

as he is having to get his own meals 

at the moment:)

(Biggest issue is breathing!)

Stubborn person that I am, (grin), I see this as

an opportunity to get some Art-Time in:)

So here's part 4 of my 6 part

7Gypsies frame:)

This is Kiwi our 10 year old

Lovebird

Figured when I saw this graphic

of the parrot, it looked like one

of her ancestors!

I used the 7Gypsies New Tissue Paper

for the background. I love this stuff!

And can't wait to start experimenting

using it in all sorts of projects:)

2 more parts to go with this frame 

before it's finished....

never know who might be 

next in it:)

Also, today I tried my hand at something

a little different for me:)

I made this 'Chotski' Pin

that I purchased from the Art Sisters

Chris and Sharon at

Red Lead

I also used their little silver bezel charms,

and punched out vintage dictionary paper

to back the graphics of the birds.

I used Inkssentials Glossy Accents to

glue and set.

Added other embellishments,

(vintage typewriter key from Kristin

at Retro Cafe Art!)

And walla!

Think I'll be making a few more of these,

as they'll make a great way of 

giving a 'personalized' gift!

So everyone, that's all for now,

as I'm pooped from my few hours

of bliss, (and coughing), in my

art room, having some wonderful 

Art-Time!

Ton's more projects to get finished up,

and, I've had a load of packages 

arrive full of all sorts of new

art goodies from all over the place,

so I'm in hopes of getting lot's more

done and posted throughout the

week, so please keep checking in!

Enjoy!
