we had quite mild weather and i saw the first butterflies of the year dancing in the garden. — again the shimmer of the (green) dr.phil martins colors doesn´t show up in the scan…

cab card “moonlight fairy”
these cabinet cards are too addictive! background colors are acrylics, overstamped with brilliance. the moon is from artchix.
altered cabinet card
today i altered my first cab card. the scan doesn´t show the shimmery paints of dr.phil martins (love these!). the ricrac was from carma biz (if i remember right) and fits perfectly to the background colors.
4×4 – a hat makes the difference
4×4 – will you dance with me
numbers on the flower from juxtaposed, as well as the dancing skeletons (copied on transparency)
blue 4×4
more 4×4
this page has no backside yet. dolls fixed with colored and stamped tape. transparency at the bottom burnt on the edges and fixed with staples.
at the left a juxtaposed stamp is used along the right — right pic: butterflies from juxtaposed, printed on transparency, fixed with staples and sewn on.
4×4 – first attempts
i never made 4×4 pages before. not yet used to it, but i think i go quite comfortable with it. – these are thought to go into a private little fat book. dolls are one of my fave subjects. added stamps from melanie sage (“juxtaposed”) and some from my fleamarket-finds from saturday.
crocus in full bloom
as said, the day started sunny. crocus in full bloom now (snowdrops´ best days are over). first bees are flying. should cut the branches of the appletree, but the moonphase says these are not the best days therefore (we have waxing moon). will wait. and better get swapped my loteria-cards…
fleamarket finds
we had rainy days recently, so the happier i was when i saw the sun was shining this morning. the first saturday of the month is the day of fleamarket in our little town. – first it looked as if i couldn´t make a good find today. but then… one booth had LOTS of old books written in old letters. some had gotten a bit damp, so they were very cheap. i bought some and hope they will dry and not molder. one has wonderful technical/electrical diagrams, which will be perfect for making transparencies of the drawings. – another find was waiting for me: a big heap of neoprint-letters! they were cheap also, as they are not complete and some are damaged, but there surely will be enough left to play with in “lynne perrella-style”… and i don´t have to cry when i ruin one with acrylics or so… – there is just one thing i couldn´t find: a bigger house for all my mess… anyway, happy for today:))
