cleaning up files


this scan of a paper doily resist print experiment--

became part of this tag for last years craft book....
 

and part of this wrapping paper (which I don't really like as a repeat- just showing it as part of the stream of things... and we wanted lots of different designs for the book anyway).










and part of this experiment- which I haven't used for anything yet- but maybe it has possibilities?... besides the doily background which is mostly obliterated, I played with a photo of a bunch of roses in Photoshop and used some digital brushes of lace from Katie Pertiet (which are incredible fun to play with!).

and after a long hard day this...


I know! Time to quit for the day.

totally immersed in girl scout adventures


I have hardly been separated from my computer for a while now but am really on a roll.
Living and breathing the adventures of the flower pals.

This is the piece that cinched the assignment for me. In the rush of things I hadn't been told that I was up against anyone else to do the job- glad I didn't know because I might not have done it. A little quirk of mine. We're always competing against so many other artists I want clients to have made up their minds by the time they contact me. Anyway, I got the job and they are truly wonderful to work with.
