A "banner" moment

Yeah baby!!!
Thought I'd start off 2009 with a brand new banner!!
Hope you like it!

Big bottom puzzle

On one of the art sites that I do regular trading with, one of my latest swaps involves puzzles. There are nine of us each doing a nine piece puzzle which will then be swapped with one piece from each of the other players puzzles. All of these puzzles will have different themes. Funny enough, I started getting requests to do my pieces in the big bottomed gal style of artist Sarah Bishop. Well....after much thought about that....I decided to go for it.
I guess it comes down to many of us being able to relate all to well to that figure...lol

2009

Just want to wish everyone a very
Happy New Year!!!

One more under the wire

The last cupcake piece for this year!
Since I want to try bigger pieces using this paper painting process, I figured I'd get myself rolling, now that the holidays are almost over, with a slightly larger 5"x7" piece.
This was a good warm up. I ran into several spots where I had to completely redo what I'd done because it simply didn't look right to my eye.
I'm pretty satisfied with the end result and ready to start the new year with something other than a cupcake.....unless it's the edible kind...lol

HoHoHo

As I take the time to finish up all those little last minute things...some items to wrap.....something to bake....a visit to make.....I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a

Very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday to all!!!!!
