ANOTHER MIXED BAG
May 16, 2015 
 
I love taking advantage of my time at home by making art! For me, it's a contemplative time...a time to relax and let my mind wander (more than usual! :) ) 
The challenge blogs have been busy and creative in declaring their themes. I've tried to be equally creative in responding to the challenges...
DIGITAL WHISPER wants to see a piece featuring COFFEE...
MIX IT MONTHLY continues it's request for a "happy couple." This is my third entry...I really like the theme!
TAKE A WORD challenge blog simply wants participating artists to use turquoise in their art piece... my response centering around one of my favorite subjects- trains!
THE THREE MUSES challenged participating artists to include some form of wheel in their piece... see my circus Ferris wheel?
Finally, at FLICKER's DIGITALMANIA, our inspiration this week is the Portuguese graphic artist, Cristiana Couceiro. Here's one of hers...
 
and here's what Cristiana inspired me to create...
That's it for this posting. Didn't take you long to see it, right? Thanks for stopping in. Please DO return...

NEW HORIZONS 
May 12, 2015
I hope you've had an enjoyable Mother's Day or just a nice weekend for those NOT celebrating. I know that Great Britain celebrates Mother's Day at a different time...don't know who else does... do you?
TRY IT ON TUESDAY is a new art challenge blog for me. This week, they asked us to represent something about sewing and/or buttons in our creation...
SUNDAY POSTCARD ART wanted to see something unique. What's more unique than each and every one of us...separate packages of gifts and talents given to us at birth and later developed? Loved this subject so I created two art pieces...

Finally, for this week's DIGITALMANIA challenge, we had fun creating postage stamp people. BEWARE...this IS addictive!!
Remembering Hermione Granger from the HARRY POTTER series...

When I was in Benin, West Africa last January, I had the privilege of observing Voodoo trance dancing first hand...Benin is where Voodoo originated!

My tribute to Hermann Hesse, a German-born Swiss poet, novelist and painter.

Glad you stopped by...please stop again.
Enjoy your week...

Big Hugs,
