3 MUSES "Mail Art"

The theme this week at "3 Muses" is MAIL ART. If you have seen the movie Letters to Juliet, then you will get this piece of mine.

It's a charmingly romantic movie placed in Italy, and a young girl joins a group of ladies whom they call themselves the secretaries of Juliet. They respond to letters to Juliet seeking advice about love. This is my take on it. You see after 30 years of marriage I am divorced and one of the lines in the movie is "what if I have a second chance with love". I have always been a hopeless romantic, and even though I am vey happy finding "me" and enjoying "me " it would be nice to know that Romeo is somewhere out there for me... hahahaha. Hope you enjoy, The picture below is the beginning of my brick wall which I made from textured paper towels, masking tape and gesso glued on a canvas and then just gobs of paint...oooo so much fun.

LOTS TO DO CHALLENGE "Alcohol Inks"

Over at "LOTS TO DO" the challenge this week was to use alcohol inks on a project.

Alcohol inks are probably one of my most favorite art medias to use. They are so versatile. I do alot of altering and use metal, acetate, etc. and ai's are just perfect for this. So of course they needed a special home to stay in. I purchased this inexpensive tin @ my local craft store and "inked" it up... I always get comments on this container. Hope you enjoyed :)
