a new star rising

congratulations guys! Well done.

Totally Chuffed!

Glancing through my Facebook news feed today, I was excited to find this:

Dharma Trading featured one of my tutorials!  Being Halloween and all, it's kind of nice when my PAST comes back to haunt me!

The Penultimate Stage

I love that word: "Penultimate".
Like waking up on December 23rd, when you know the Big Day is close:  it's the light at the end of a rather long tunnel.
Funny thing is, though, the first metallic assembly is where the biggest changes happen.
It's where the work starts to become what it wants, not exactly what I thought it would be.

Harry Potter finale: who's next?

I finally steeled myself to go to the last Harry Potter movie tonight.  I was concerned it was going to be too dark, like the previous ones.  But the main reason I hesitated was: this last film in the series marks the end of an era.  I'll probably be in my 80's before the next Epic Hero arises.

More Magnificent Masks!

You might remember I did a series of  Mask-Making posts, using Dharma Trading Mask Blanks?

The following Video is an Overview of a series by my  fellow artist Jennifer .    Her Mask Tutorials give step-by-step instructions for using Acrylic and Enamel paints, Assemblage techniques, and Spray Dyes.

New Website!!

I finally figured out that many people who want my silly "doodlebug" designs are generally not the same folks who want my original art works.  So I've split my sites.
The original silly site is listed to the right of this blog, in "and there's more!".

Pass it on, Thanks!
