Created for RED ON WHITE BACKGROUND theme in Smile on Saturday! 😊
I had a hard time coming up with something for "red", but this morning I see red all around me! Starting w/the coffee cup that I use every day. It's red w/white polka dots. lol.. Oh well, next time. ;-) Hope you like my cute Tarsier Devil with his heart tail. It's 3D printed (not by me) and it's highly posable. I posted a pic of him once before, but with a different head. (see 1st comment box) HSoS! :-)
He's really a villain from Spiderman, but even villain's have feelings and sometimes let their feelings show. He's feeling sentimental here, giving you a heart bouquet. ❤️ Happy "almost" Holidays. :-)
Crazy Tuesday - Things with Wings
Scary Teddy is flying around the house!! Eeeek!! And his teeth are glowing! (A nice surprise after I opened up the pic in Lightroom.) HMM :-)
I just had to watch Nightmare before Christmas again to see where Scary Teddy appeared. If you blink, you'll miss him! But he's a cute little character.
Roar!!! sez Sully, trying to get scares to power his monster world.
Mommy.. am I supposed to be scared? I think Sully is cute! 😍 sez Bunny.
Sully is in the Monsters, Inc. movie by Disney/Pixar and is the top "scarer". lol.. Although he doesn't seem to be scaring my Bunny! ;-) Hope you enjoy my submission for the Happy Smile on Saturday "portray a movie" theme! HSoS!! :-)
Todays Macro Monday is all about Balance... In this case, balancing bokeh. Bokeh balls. lol..
When I took this pic, it was just to figure out how to position her hands, so I could then put "something" in them for her to balance. All within the 3 inch limit for MM. But when I opened it in Lightroom, on the left side were the bokeh balls you see. It looked like she was juggling bokeh balls! No? ;-) The right side had none, so I cloned the bokeh balls on the left onto the right and altered them a bit. Balanced bokeh balls! And she's juggling them. HMM! :-)
Meanwhile, on the other side of the yard... the birds are prepared for the rainy weather and have their umbrellas, raincoats and Wellies on!! ;-))
Created for funny art theme in Smile on Saturday! 😊
The past few weeks, I’ve been making gifts for my brother-in-law for his 75th Birthday party. This is one of his gifts. Using one of my lasers, I scored & engraved it on a black anodized aluminum business card. The shiny aluminum shows through where it was scored/engraved. The whole theme of his gifts is full of humor. Hopefully. lol.. Hope you like. HSoS :-)
Knitting is just a bunch of knots created in an orderly fashion. ;-) This is according to the crafty Ms. Mouse, found deep in a cave in New Jersey. She also found a website with directions on how to knit a knot stitch. www.10rowsaday.com/knot-stitch You're welcome. 🐭:-)
Created for knots theme in 😄 HaPpY CrAzY Tuesday 😜 HCT! :-)
The chef is mad!! He's always mad... what else is new? ;-))
In case you don't recognize him, he's from the Ratatouille movie.
I'll be using a selection of this cute guy tomorrow, for Slider Sunday. It's a fun one! ;-)
Created for Glow theme in HaPpY CrAzY Tuesday ☺️
Used a lens Star filter for the star effect. Didn't have the correct size for this lens, so I just held it in front of the lens. It worked. lol.. Got some crazy big stars!! But thought this star effect was just right. Hope you enjoy it.
Cough.. For the MM four elements (Earth, Water, Air & Fire) challenge today, I chose Air as in smoky air! Selma (the Simpsons) is always smoking up a storm. Cough. Her smoking is messing up the clean fresh air around here! Cough.
The smoky effect is real.. I had some fun with (odorless) smoke in a can! Didn't want to buy a smoke machine. ;-)
I cropped the pic so it’s all under 3 inches. HMM!

Besuch der Ausstellung "Wonderwalls - Art & Toys"
Verwirklicht wird die Ausstellung mit Unterstützung des Düsseldorfers Selim Varol, der die wohl umfangreichste Sammlung
von urbaner Kunst und Designer Toys zusammengetragen hat. Graffitis, Schablonen, Mosaike, Aufkleber und Collagen, Skulpturen, Performances, Formen der Kommunikationsguerilla und des „Culture Jammings“, mit Arbeiten unter anderem von JR, Banksy, KAWS, Swoon, Shepard Fairey, Osgemeos, Herakut oder Prune Nourry umfasst die Ausstellung jede erdenkliche Kunstdisziplin im öffentlichen Raum. Die von Gesellschafts- und Konsumkritik geprägten Arbeiten, die ihren Ursprung in der Pop- und Skateboardkultur der 90er Jahre haben, sind heute genauso relevant wie zum Zeitpunkt ihrer Entstehung und verdeutlichen in ihrer Zusammenstellung das unerschöpfliche kreative, spielerische und politische Potenzial von Street Art, Designer Toys und urbaner Kunst.

Visit to the exhibition "Wonderwalls - Art & Toys"
The exhibition is realized with the support of Selim Varol from Düsseldorf, who probably has the most extensive collection
of urban art and designer toys. Graffiti, stencils, mosaics, stickers and collages, sculptures, performances, forms of communication guerrilla and "culture jamming", with works by JR, Banksy, KAWS, Swoon, Shepard Fairey, Osgemeos, Herakut or Prune Nourry, among others, the exhibition includes every imaginable art discipline in public space. The works, which are shaped by social and consumer criticism and have their origins in the pop and skateboard culture of the 90s, are just as relevant today as they were when they were created and, in their compilation, illustrate the inexhaustible creative, playful and political potential of street art, designers toys and urban art.

This is a Russian art lens that can produce different kinds of bokeh. It's totally manual and uses aperture plates that you stick into the lens! The little guy is showing his disgust at having to manually stick stuff into the lens. lol.. Also have to make sure you don't introduce the dreaded dust into the lens too! Anyhoo... HMM!
Width wise, this shot just makes the 3" limit, including the negative space.
Another Sparkle Sister!! lol.. There are 3 of them. This one is green. And their eyes really do sparkle, sparkle, sparkle. lol.. This is a pic of a pic that's on my iPad. Thought the texture from the iPad screen was cool. Plus she's just so adorable!! ;-)
More fun in the yard. :-) The plant is Hen and Chicks. And the cute guy moved from the birdbath (pic from the other day) to on top of the table. He's been getting around. ;-)
Here we go again, again...
I am going to be making a LOT of new work this year. All images are available to purchase. Pricing can be found on my website:
Thanks for following my journey.

A very sly fox is willing to sell you all his old memories!! A double sided bank of memory chips. Cheap too. A great deal, he says! Inquire within. ;-)
Pic actual size = 2 7/8” wide x 1 3/4” high.
HMM! :-)
I mean Panda in a pot of plants in the yard. ;-)
She was created with a combination of crochet and needle felting by a very talented lady.

Yep. Esmeralda needs more flight training!! She flew right into my dried Hydrangea! But all the bats find her amusing to watch. HSS! :-)
I was pleased that I could use some of the clip art I've collected over the years in this pic. I've been making cards for ages. I love using either printed clip art or rubber stamps.
For the "Pretty in Pink" theme in 7DWF group.
I've been fighting off the flu for the past few days. Typical flu symptoms - my head just isn't working right. At least 3 times in the shower this morning, I lost track of what I was doing!! lol.. A problemo... ;-))
But when I was having coffee this morning and saw "Pretty in Pink" as the theme for our group, I HAD to do something. You see, my favorite color is pink!! And lavender. And I have pink stuff all over the place.
Sooo... I took this pic this morning. Hope you like! Can't wait to see everyone's pink pics.💘 :-) Not sure how long I'm gonna last today, but I'll do my best.

p.s. 1/20/2018 For this shot, I used only artificial lighting. I had each of the 7 LED bulbs set to a different color. You can see all the different colors in the reflections.
