I AM DOING WELL!

I would like to thank all of those that left kind Cawments not only about my arty attempts but also about my accident. I thought I should post this photo of me, taken last week, to show you that I AM in one piece now...but still limping and have more procedures ahead of me.

I am truly blessed to be alive and able to (hopefully) spend many more years with my loved ones and wonderful friends!

LITTLE BLOO BIRD

I started playing around with this little darling before I had my accident . She was so patient waiting for my return without a whinge or whine, that I decided that she needed to be finished and given flight....vbg.

                                               


I made her wings out of Coca Cola cans, ran them through the Cuttlebug then alcohol inked them. The cage was bought as a Christmas decoration and the arms and head are genuine, dug-out-of-the-ground German china doll parts. The arms are wired on and the head is glued on with Selley's ALL FIX....strong enough to stick anything to anything!


When I was a child, about 10 years old, my mother bought my sister and I a little twin blue-bird brooch each. The birds on each brooch were individual brooches but were joined together by a chain. Somewhere, somehow, these brooches disappeared so I was delighted to find one of them in an op shop not long ago. (Aaah...memories of long ago are still with me but my short term memory is SHOT TO PIECES!!!...LOL)
I attached one of the blue birdies by wire inside the cage and saved the other for another future project. I adhered a "mushroom" birdie to a nest of blue eggs ( redleadpaperworks ) and adhered it to the bottom of the "cage".  She wears a paper flower collar, decorated with rhinestones...and of course, a feather in her musical cap, which I made by covering a Christmas/New Year streamer popper casing! (I can usually find a use for nearly EVERYTHING!!)

PLAYING AGAIN

I must be recovering very well....probably due to the wonderful care I have received from my dear sister AND assorted TAC health workers, because I have REEEELLLLYYY been wanting to create. I have lots of arty stuff forming in my head but unfortunately, it has only been ATCs that I could do here, which is perfectly OK with me as I do love creating these small pieces of art...if my style can be called art! I love taking images and mixing them up to create odd, sometimes satirical ATCs.
     
                                                       So, here are my latest attempts.
                             They are all of one theme about one of my favourite things....shoes!!

                             
                              Hope you enjoy the eye candy! Love for you to leave a CAWMENT!
