In the meadow, we can build a snowman

In the meadow, we can build a snowman . . .

Well, I "built" mine on an old, enamel coffee pot. I got in the mood to paint just as soon as the first cold front blew in. I love, love, LOVE cool weather!

Bat potion gone wrong

She knew that something wasn't right the moment she drank the potion.

It was supposed to make her nose smaller, but it made her feel very strange . . .

Captured Witch

I heard a noise in my kitchen and found this witch going through my cupboards. Since I was afraid that she might bite me, I put on my oven mitt and grabbed her. Let me tell you, it was a good thing I thought of using the mitt; she fought, bit, and screamed like a banshee. I just wish I had thought of wearing earplugs too!

Rabbit Assemblage

I had so much fun creating this assemblage piece. He just seems so alive to me. I found the sewing machine drawer while "antiquing" with a friend of mine. The cobbler's shoe form is as old as I am. Yikes!!

Nest Assemblage

It is so much fun when everything falls into place. I have been searching high and low for shadowbox frames when my friend, Melissa called me and told me about some frames she found in a local store.

I love the expression on the little girl's face. She is staying very quiet so she doesn't disturb the birds and she is urging you to do likewise. The cheerful songs of the birds match the song of her heart. She is at home in the garden.

In that quiet garden
the garden of her heart
Songbirds are always singing
their song of cheer apart.
