Fun with Lisa's Altered Art Images

Her images are just darling. Please visit her site: Lisa's Altered Art

4x4 Friday

The theme for 4x4 Friday this week is Alice in Wonderland. I LOVE THIS BOOK!

RAK for a friend!

I have a friend that is doing something very nice for another friend of ours. I wanted to let her know how "tweet" I thought she was for doing this. Bird image is compliments of Lisa's Altered Art.

Monday Challenge Image

I absolutely loved the image Kelly used for the Monday Challenge on Altered Designs this week. I don't know what it is about the photo, but I felt compelled to do something with it.

Gothic Arch

The theme for Gothic Arch Sunday is History. I LOVE history since my own family has a pretty illustrious history of its own. My family and my mother-in-law came through Ellis Island. They had all escaped Hitler's Germany... Baruch Hashem (thank G_d).

Skinny Saturday

The theme this week is Sitting Pretty. This little lady is in deep reflection...

SOYB~Fabric

You know how you've always wanted to try something, but just needed the kick in the rear to do it? I always wanted to try sewing an ATC, but I needed that kick! AND I'M A QUILTER!!! I just never sewed paper or anything this small freehand.

Lisa's Step Outside Your Box challenge this week is The Fabric of Our Lives. I decided to do what my friend Martha suggested and just layered all sorts of stuff on to the fabric base. I have paper and fabric and gauzy stuff (I forgot what it's called!) and I used an old photo. The result is what you see here. And, it was fun!!!

TGIF ATC

I do so few ATCs nowadays: I forgot how much I enjoy doing them. This is for a TGIF ATC Mingle in Altered Designs. The challenge is Black, White and Red. Here's my Music in Red.

4x4 Friday

Here's another piece I want to chuck right out that snowy window!!! I ruined it with the "1"stamp. But I had to share with you something really cool. You know how we all buy Twinkling H2O paints? My friend Jen told me that the PRANG kiddie water colors come in glitter and metallics. SO I went to Dick Blick and found them and ordered them. Holy smoke!!! Just like the real mcCoy and for pennies!!! I wish you could see the glitter in the paint. Of course, scans can't do that. But trust me...it really is like the expensive stuff!

Theme Thursday

Theme Thursday this week is warm colors. I always love working in warm colors,but I'm afraid I missed my mark this week. Can you tell that my 2 oldest teen sons are making me insane? They had a fist fight last night!!! and it totally affected my mood. This has NEVER happened before (the fist fight). It totally affected my ability to concentrate. So I'm donating this piece to them. (Picture me making a raspberry with my lips!)

Skinny Saturday

The theme for Skinny Saturday this week is Age. The image I used is the Monday challenge image in my Altered Designs group this week. I just love her ageless beauty.
