I never thought I would ever be able to use thread to crochet with...but it isn't so difficult afterall!
This is my first finished project with thread..I have two others in progress. Nothing all that fancy but..I did it!

Thanks for looking and commenting!  

I crocheted this bag while I was on vacation a couple of weeks ago.
It's dishcloth cotton and single and double crochet in the round. I then added an iron on patch/decal.
I had to up the brightness of the photo alot to show the stitches/texture some.

I mostly paint and draw in photoshop but I think this thread is focusing on photo manips more...so here is one I have done.

Acrylic and oil on canvas. 16x20
It is my youngest daughter, Donna.
I'm reasonably pleased with it.

My fiance surprised me with 30 plain wood boxes. He is a good, good man.
I have managed to paint two so far.

I would show a bit more, but I dont want to be rude...so I'll show my current fav.
I just wish I hadn't lost my mind at the end and signed it so large!
Oh well...
Title: "Anytime Geisha"
Acrylic on canvas.

all are watercolor or acrylic watered down and india ink, on watercolor paper.

"Aging"


"Black Bubbles"


"Roots"

A shoe box was used, and I printed various photos of people kissing after toning them a sepia color in photoshop. I primed the box and lid with gesso, then painted it with burnt umber artists acrylics, then using collage glue, applied the cut out pictures. Then I put two more coats of the collage glue( watered down some) over the whole thing. I have some rather large jewelry, stainless steel, and leather collars and I use stuff like wallet chains for necklaces, so I use this for my jewelry.

A couple of stools that I spray painted red this past spring..then painted with artists acrylics last weekend, when I had the flu...
So, maybe not my best painting, but I like em.
They are "fishy" and "sour puss"..you can probably guess who is who. I have a slight obsession with fish...( moons, cats, snakes, and hummingbirds too.)

I dont want to over do on the picture posting, so I limited it to 3. I can recall those slow dial up days, and how long alot of graphics would take to load. ok..here's a few.

"For my Mother"(A portrait of my Father )


"Elephant"


"Wisdom"


Just picked at random...not necessarily my best or favs...although I'm liking the elephant alot lately. I made it into a light switch cover, with sticker paper and my printer.
