Mixed Media Monday - Enchanted

When I saw the challenge, I thought SOME ENCHANTED EVENING, and it ended up being a castle in the mists. I love old castles. I'm convinced they're all enchanted, aren't you? Textures from Skeletalmess. Bodiam Castle from Liam's Old Books.

Sunday Postcard - Mermaid

Looks like I've come across an independent mermaid, who just hangs her "Out to Sea" sign and takes a break whenever it strikes her fancy. Now that's my kind of mermaid! Credits to Kubivet for bits and pieces. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment!

What a unique challenge! When I see the word "mantra", I think Ommmmmmmmmm! I used some zentangle doodling on the seated "Om-er". Thanks for looking!

Three Muses - Architecture

Elaborate stone cities were built into the sheltered recesses of canyon walls in SW Colorado in the 1200s, discovered by Richard Wetherill, a rancher, in 1888. By 1300, Mesa Verde was deserted, commonly believed to be because of a prolonged drought. The intricacy of these stone cities is remarkable. Thank you for indulging me in paying homage to their architects, and to Don Blanding, one of my favorite poets, who wrote of them so eloquently.

African Mail Art - Nick Bantock Style

This one was for a challenge at Digitalartquirks.com, where we were asked to do a collage after the style of Nick Bantock's African mail art. I'm a great fan of Bantock's, and I enjoyed creating this one. Thanks for looking! Comments appreciated.

Sunday Postcard - Twins


The faces of my twins are from a catalog, the bodies are from Flickr Free Collage paper dolls, and the borders are thumbnails of some of my stuff! Thanks for the challenge!
