I decided to put the sunburst aside for a few days and start something new. Still based on photos I took but this time from when I live in Arizona and an old spanish mission there in state of decay. I used a photo transfer method on these two. I'm still wondering why everything I'm doing keeps coming out purple...
Here is the current state of Sunburst. I have added more papers to it and washed another coat of paint.
My favorite memory of Easter was getting up and running downstairs to see if the Easter Bunny had visited. And I was never disappointed; there was always my basket wrapped in pretty colored celephane filled with robins eggs, jelly beans, decorated hardboiled eggs and either a chocolate bunny or a fluffy one. Then we would put on our usually new easter dress and all it's trimmings (new shoes, stockings, the occassional hat or purse) and hurry to the early church service. Then in the afternoon, we would hunt eggs. I think this photo may actually be Mother's day, since we're all wearing roses, but we would have been similarly dressed for easter. I'm the youngest in the pict.
when phil and i were on our honeymoon back in 2006, i took a picture of this sunburst on the side of a church in Siena. I have used the image several times and today i thought i would do a two panel collage with it. the left side is the unpainted start of the piece and the right has the first coat of paint. i still have a ways to go, but thought i would show the work in progress.
Well, I'm actually running the internet from home and it's not slow as snails. We're trying out Verizon's broadband through our cell phone service. So far the speed is much better than my sad dialup. Yeah.
Also figured out some typepad stuff and how it stores things. Still have a long way to go to getting the blog like I want it, but it's a good start.
Off to more fun things.
Finally took the plunge and started a blog. We'll see how it goes.
