I am gonna make a shirt for my son's 4th birthday.

Pattern found here.

Grease Alley, an industrial backwater neighborhood in a blade-runner/fifth-element genre. These shops back onto a trash and old parts-strewn gully, where the junk skiff comes by to pick up broken components, industrial leftovers, and the occasional "borrowed" part.

"Expose Me - Counting Crows"

I have so many talents

I'm afraid to show them

People may not like them

So they're hidden

Hidden within

Where no one can hate them!

Or appreciate them?

I have so many dreams

I'm afraid to reveal them

People may not accept them

So they're hidden

Hidden within

Where no one can kill them!

Or fulfill them?

I have so many beautiful thoughts

I'm afraid to share them

People may ignore them

So they're hidden

Hidden within

Where no one can ignore them!

Or enjoy them?

I hate to hide

I hide cause I'm lonely

I need someone who will expose me

Is it you?

So I've been toying with the idea of poses for a long time. nothing animated, just expressive emotional poses for pictures. I'll be doing singles, and couple poses. I'll post them as I finish them. I'm no good with advertisement ads. anyhow preview of first pose creation. I need some tips on how to keep the pose from moving..so any tips are welcome. thanks Lexia

Day 2 of the children being back at school and I was happy to get an hour in at the sewing machine after a very long time away. This is a sneak peek at a new project.

I love graph paper. This is the planned block layout for "spools," a selvage quilt I'm making for Quilting in the Pines 2011.

I'm trying a variety of products in an attempt to both age an ink jet image and to make it look "misty".

I am drawn to the look produced using encaustic wax, but the health hazards make me cautious about heating wax without effective ventilation.

Anyone interested in using cold wax might like to look at oilandwax.ning.com/ for helpful advice.

My objective is to use images that look as though they are memories of the past and I have to say that everything I have tried so far is a disapointment.

I hope to look into using resin next.

Done with catalogue pages and a punch

Fire's riding to valleys of death

while shadows are rising from bloody hells

Fire's riding to Hargor, the town

where evil and terror conquered the clouds

We sing to the wind the legend of the kings

to spread our heart to the kingdom of dusk

where heroes are lost, where now reigns the Shadow Lord!

originally, the white shoes were going to be on the figure's feet, but decided to have them hanging instead

not finished yet, need to work on the hair/head piece some more, crocheting lots of plastic bags with a size Q hook

getting ready for The Black Front Gallery show in April

WIP Screen Printing Workshop lead by Nathaniel Benjamin of Laika Press.

Ink jet prints treated with a variety of surface treatments.

I am trying to made these images look both aged and "misty" as though they were memories from the past.

The most effective so far are the ones I coated with Dorland's Wax Medium, although these needed a hot iron to make them effective.

For helpful advice about using this product, I can recommend oilandwax.ning.com/

finally busted out my protractor... and made a bunch of circles.

Yesterday I was home alone and listened to my audiobook, as I pieced this together - it is odd and uneven and and strange and totally without a theme and it sort of just happened...

well, at least it is colourful! :-)

I don't know if it is going to be a baby blanket again; I might chop it up into strips and sew them together with some other fabric... maybe I'll just keep this one going without a plan whatsoever.... it will turn into something at some point, I guess?!
