ART QUILTS

Hi Friends,

I  know that from time to time ...I make a "Disappearing Act" from my blog but sooner or later
I do return! :)
 I have to.........Because ALL of you my dear friends are in Blog land and I really miss you!

I am always creating something so here are THREE Art Quilts that I recently made.  The three quilts went to my dear friend, Pam C. who lives in Maine. We are exchanging Art Quilts from March 2013 through February 2014.  Each month we make a quilt in a different color.
Here are my March , April and May Art Quilts:

                                                             March White Art Quilt

                                                             April Tan Art Quilt

                                                        May Pink Art Quilt (Fairy In The Rose Garden)

Hope you like these and please come back to see the next ones!
Hugs and keep happy

ART DOLLS...........

Hi Friends,

Hope you are all doing well and keeping busy with your art.
Sorry I have been absent from Blog Land but sometimes Life takes hold of our time and other things
fall on the back burner, as they say.
But what really matters is that I have missed all of you and constant thoughts of you my friends, always motivate me to come back and share things that I have done .
Swaps take up a lot of my time but I really enjoy them.
Here are some Art Dolls that I have made for some swaps.
Hope you like them.
Hugs and Keep Smiling!

We Have a New Pope, Francis 1!

Hi Friends,

 

VATICAN CITY - Roman Catholic cardinals elected the church's first South American leader Wednesday, choosing a conservative with "great compassion" who is the son of a railway worker and who takes a bus to work.
Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, 76, will be known as His Holiness Pope Francis I.
The new leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics - who is also the first Jesuit, and the first non-European pope for more than 1,000 years - was introduced from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica.

Here is a photo , I took of our New Pope from my TV.

Zentangled Paper Dolls

Hi Friends,

Did everyone have a nice day today?  I really hope so. :)
Over here, on theTreasure Coast of Florida we have had really cold weather since Friday of last week! Brrrrrrrrrrrr
Hopefully tomorrow it is going to warm up a bit. :)

Being indoors really helps to get our creativity going!
Here are Two Zentangled Paper Dolls I made for an online swap, that is due the end of this month!
I went with the colors of Black and Red because those are two of my favorite colors.
Hope you like "Samantha" and "Sabrina".

Hugs and thanks for visiting!

Gypsy Fortune TellerTags and ATC's

Hi Friends,

Are you all having a fun and creative day?
I really hope so.

Before I continue, I just changed my Header with a New Postcard that I made using a plastic onion bag label, some machine stitching and a little bird cut-out. Hope you like it.

For one of my online groups "Roses" we just had a Gypsy Fortune Teller Tag Swap and it was really fun to work on them. Below you will see the three tags, I made for the swap.

Then for another swap, I had to make 6 ATC's and the theme for that  one was "Hocus Pocus!"
Below a photo of those too.
Hope you like them and please remember to leave a comment.

Hugs

Mail Art

Hi Friends,

Happy Sunday to All!

Recently my friend Sandra who lives in Italy and I decided to have another Mail Art Swap. We had our first last year.
This year, Sandra made me another  8" x 6" watercolor. This one is titled "The Sea in Winter!"
I love the envelope that she decorated with lots of fish. :)

Last year, I sent Sandra a 4" X 6" Zentangled little Bird that I drew on waterpaper. This year , I wanted to send her something special so I made her a  10" x 10" Mixed-media Art Piece.

Here are photos of the three for you to see:

Valentine's Day Fabric Postcards

Hi Friends,

Wow, my MUSE left me in January so I wasn't creative in any form. :(
I guess she needed a break after the Holidays and I did too! LOL
I can't believe today, it has been a month and a day since I last posted here. :(
But I am happy to inform you , my MUSE did return and I do have art to share.
For Valentine's Day , I did make a few fabric postcards to send to friends. Here are Two of the ones , I made.

This one I called "Captured Heart" because the heart  is caught in the tulle.

This one is "Not Just Any Other day!"

 

Hugs and more to come.
