just dolls!...altered photo
jo,de and baby philly with our dolls at Christmas one year.
this was a super dark b/w photo to begin with. i took it to kinko's and enlarged the lighter,better part of the photo and had it printed on photo paper,then i soaked it in a tray of water,sanded it
,added color with adirondack re-inkers and golden quinacridone colors,then embellished with glitter,rhinestones and hats...jo gets the biggest hat since it is her birthday this week...she also gets the pompom !
i loved that doll...although she wasn't very cuddly...but she sure was cute!

altered valentines
...broken hearts...not to worry.
i am "altering" paper valentines with sandpaper,ink and alot of other goodies,i love to alter anything,but greeting cards are the most satisfying. i am preparing for a demo that i will be doing this upcoming saturday.
the valentine above was altered by using sandpaper,glitter,paper scrap,image and a florish of gold paint "drawn" along the side of a french curve.

after speaking to my friend/boss this morning about her blogspot,i thought i would stop by to take a peek and make a comment or two....suddenly i am creating a place for myself...this could be just what the doctor ordered!
i wonder if this is like live journaling...am i live journaling? time will tell.
i need to roam around for a bit...see you soon!
