I've heard of a watchdog but this is definitely a watchcat.
The girl came from a fashion magazine, Vogue or perhaps Elle, and the moggie was advertising cat food. The streetscape is a page from one of those European River Cruise brochures that mysteriously arrive in the mail, even though I have never actually ordered one. The sky is gelli print on rice paper.
Suggestions for a title, anyone?
Another page from the Altered Baby Board Book.
Background is acrylic gelli print created with a home made stencil. Flowers were cut from homestyle magazines... Chatelaine and Style At Home.... and the balustrade came from Vogue, minus the model who was leaning on it, somewhere in Paris I think.
No I didn't alter a Baby, just some Baby Books.
You know the ones I mean... those colourful story books with board pages, about 6 inches (15.25cm) square, meant for little people to enjoy, almost non-destructible. I like to remove the images (medium sandpaper does a thorough job) and add my own artwork.
This one uses origami paper, gelli print background, the sun is hand made wrapping paper from India, the lady arrived from a gardening magazine. Anyone got a title for this?
Th arrival of a new year means getting rid of all the paperwork that is no longer required, like old electric and gas bills and outdated bank statements and grocery receipts. I admit.... this wasn't all shredded in the last couple of days in my frenzied 2025 clean up.... this bag took most of the year to fill. Out it goes on recycling day. I don't accumulate much paper now as most of my household bills arrive on line. However, I've already started on filling the next bag. I love my shredder!
The morning sky a couple of weeks ago. The whole world outside seemed to glow with a golden light. I dashed out onto the deck with my camera. Within a couple of minutes the sun had risen just a little bit more, the clouds had rearranged themselves, and the sky was grey for the rest of the day.
The sky this morning, as I sipped the first cup of coffee of the day. The weather was very cold last week.... -16C at night.... but much milder now. A little bit of snow on the ground, just enough to cover the squirrel superhighway that runs along the top of the fence.
