the neck thing has not let up. working part time helps but i will have to return to work soon. getting a steroid blast in C5-6-7 in the morning. hopefully this will stop the constant burning vibration in my neck and shoulder. here is the blue baby that i gave up on due to the pain in the neck (saturdays crowabout) this was photo impression work…my right shoulder was sore after this much color smudge. i was real unhappy with how it turned out-but lo and behold nayski and a few others in the group had the SAME problemo! that damn blue baby. so i took it a step further and found some great images in the interwebz…see next post. wish me luck. and jess, i’m thinking about ya and sending the love!

“it was by the shores of the Temple of the Giant Blue Baby Heads that Nayski’s great great grandfather, the illustrious Captain Isiah Nayski discovered the curative powers of the sea where the ancient Egyptian god Serapa Kitty peed magical crystals.
Thanks to Nancy B whose week 45 Crowabout  collage sheet featured a giant blue baby that few of us could translate into a proper Christmas themed collage; also thanks to ArtsyFartsyQueen for the game boards, other images various sources including the NYPL digital gallery.
For Nayski: thanks for giving me another insane idea….”

this is an afterthought. there was a hideous blue baby on this weeks collage sheet and for the life of me i could not get it to look like a human child. and i wasn’t the only one! it was a “Christmas in July” theme so I created a Christmas tree from this sheet:

i tried several variations and ended up destroying all. i was so tired and my neck was hurting so i shredded all the images and made this:

if my neck felt better I may have done this collage on paper but since I was low on ink and also feeling sort of crappy I cheated and made it in the collage creator. this is not my best and if you felt like you had a 5 inch mutant wasp biting and stinging your neck with electricity pulsing after each bite you’d do that same as i did…sort of surprised myself when I guessed “flinch” was a card card game. and for some reason cut & paste to wiki is not working….
