Sunday Postcard - Gnome

Wikipedia says Gnomes are a fabled race of dwarflike creatures who live underground and guard treasure hoards.  Hmmm    Do you suppose???
I scarfed this little guy from the pages of a coloring book, colored him with pan pastels, and plopped him in the woods.   Great fun!

Theme Thursday - Borders

My collection of borders is from previous art pieces, the lady's face is from Tumblefish Studios, body from Flickr Collage Images, and the fence from Jen U Designs.   This was great fun.   Thanks for the challenge!

Three Muses - Quirky

The background for this bit of silliness is from Joe's Sistah, giraffe from Finecrafted Designs, tiger and monkey googled, bodies Flickr Collage Images,  faces from vintage art, hats googled.   I know they're overdressed for a safari....but then it wouldn't be quirky otherwise, would it?

Take a Word - Fantasy

Here's my fantasy....a  mystical horse and a beautiful maiden, out for a midnight ride under a butterscotch sky.. 

Thanks to Finecrafted Designs for background.   Other elements googled.

A Journal Page

I recently treated myself to a set of pan pastels.   This journal page is one of my first efforts with these wonderfully fun little pots of color.   I have long looked for a method of getting color onto my journal pages without the pages buckling, and this seems to be the solution for me.   They don't dry out and they blend beautifully.   I was quite proud of my effort, until I opened the journal and realized I'd created this masterpiece UPSIDE DOWN!   "Dear Journal.....Mea Culpa...."

Sunday Postcard - Vintage Man

This dapper fellow looked rather bookish to me, so I placed him in front of a bookshop.
