which is the savage beast here though? the theme at three muses challenge this week is "music." here is my interpretation:
my music in this piece is the background music floral sheet by dezinaworld, the rest of the images are by dezinaworld as well.
love to all.
this blog is to chart my creative evolution with stamping, paper-crafting, mixed media and some other stuff i haven't figured out yet... on the theory that challenging myself to try new things and post them to the "world" will be good for me. and might also be good for others. my blog title is inspired by julia cameron's "the artist's way" and her admonition to fill the well.

at the seaside...
the ocean and the beach are about my favorite things. so i love the challenge prompt at tag tuesday this week which is "at the seaside."
i also love mermaids and other fanciful creatures so i went with a fantasy theme for my tag. images and background are from gecko galz. the crab, fishes and sand border are stickers from my stash.
happy summer (or happy winter if you are southern hemisphere -- you can still dream of the beach!)
i'm linking to try it on tuesday since we are invited to share where we'd like to spend a holiday and to delicious doodles for the "beside the sea" challenge.
love to all.

meet me in paris
the challenge theme at moo mania and more blog at present is "paris." a trip to paris is always nice, even if it is imaginary. i've made a moo (approx. 1.1 x 2.8 inch creation) on the theme.
all of the vintage images (including the background) are from the lunagirl "meet me in paris" collage sheet.
love to all.
