can’t decide which one to use….

The threat of a winter storm with 6 inches of snow sleet and freezing rain turned out to be a dud. But fortunately the lack of inclement weather allowed me to take part in the Hip Happening down in the Sellwood area. Thanks to all of those brave souls who ventured out in 34 degree rain to come shop at my small booth and save the day!

blind collage is a fun thing to do when you are completely brain dead (like I am today) just throw a bunch of random images on your scanner screen face down. don’t worry about order. just start with small images and lay larger and larger on top of those till the screen is full. above is my blind collage to thank you all for coming out yesterday!

November 21st at Reedwood Friends Church. We got there early enough to find what we thought was the best table-alas we were by the exit! There was very little (if any) advertising but we still had a fun time and were amazed by the number of vendors that came to sell their wares. We were by far the most unique and quirky of the 25+ vendors. Jessica’s Star Trek ATC’s sold like hotcakes and Deb’s beaded ornaments were also very popular. I got the feeling that many of the tables around us had been doing this for years and some were quite adept at the hard sell.  I did not have a sale until 2 pm-which was sort of disappointing. Until I have done this a few more times I will not be bitter about the lack of customers-I’m just glad that I got my earrings and easels back from the church office! Apparently we left them behind in the parking lot!

I have been complaining about the pain in my neck and just found out I will most likely need surgery. I have slacked off on doing almost everything-but can’t seem to stop submitting to Collage Play. Here is week #42. If you go to my Flickr page there is a funny little story about this piece. I am pleased it turned out-basically a pencil drawing.

I am hoping Santa will bring me a large format scanner so I can upload these 12×12 collages. This one is for Crowabout Collage Play week 41. I now understand how you can inadvertently ‘copy’ someone else’s idea-as I copied Zibelline’s cow head man without knowing it! Apologies, ZiB!!

It was so late when I did this-it’s sort of a blur. I did most of it in Collage Creator to save on ink and cutting.  I used 11 out of 17 images from the collage sheet: which is disappointing since the images were all really cool.

I did enjoy hand coloring the ‘eyes’ and making the film hair for the Britney WannaBe’s. The Twin’s were going to have cat heads until my computer froze up and I kept the cows as is. Wide Awake at 3 a.m. is scary. I must stop drinking the diet Dr. Pepper.
