That Japanese lady is beautiful! Alwaysinmyroom, did you use stamps for the background?

Poe's garden, what a brilliant idea and complete with the black raven, love! (I'm pinning this one!)

Poe's garden is awesome--I love the creatures, colors and designs that live there! goatgoddess--can i ask how you achieved that wonderful background??
the japanese girl is a beautiful piece of art--she is lovely and another wonderful background!

loves2experiment - I'm so glad you liked my eye! It started as a peacock feather and turned into what you received.

I received a wonderful piece from loves2experiment!



I'm not sure if this scan does it justice. I find myself trying to read it Thank you so much!

[alwaysinmyroom]

oh wow--what a great Monday morning!  Eye candy!

I love how you are doing such nice things with your book papers, loves2experiment!  So many great ideas and lovely graphic work!

llisaredd--ha ha I was trying to guess who did the colorful rainbow eye...I see you made it into a new avatar...love it!

The crafting lady is just hilarious and so many things to relate to....love the "doo-dads"

goatgoddess--your Poe's Garden is very mysterious and intriguing...the imagery you used is interesting and fun

The fisherking is also an intringuing piece...is he a cut out or drawn?  I love how he is the center of attention in his boat!

The background of the piece I did was inspired by my worktable--I stamp, I paint, I splotch, I spill coffee, etc.  It just looked so cool that I thought I would try to replicate it for a series of pieces I am working on right now with Asian images...the images are various types of paper SCRAPS...I just reach in a box and work with what I grab (it is an art exercise to get your creative mojo going...)  thanks for your lovely comments...

again, WOWIE Monday...

(I am trying to get my scanner at work to take a better image of the piece I received!)

[alwaysinmyroom]

I had a lovely partner...I know because she did a semi self portrait! This was my first swap with her...love getting to know new people on here! Someday I am going to try to do one of myself, but for now, I will enjoy the pieces I get from you guys!

Thank you so much, bacettox! I just love how the flesh tones in the skin is done and I am jealous of her eyebrows..
