Art Event in Fort Worth

I'm so excited because Lisa over at Wild Over Wine pointed me to this event that is taking place in Fort Worth on April 25th this year. They are calling it the Spring Fling. We (Wild...,Pocket....and Me) decided we were going to participate in this show. So, we have all applied and been accepted...paid our money and committed to a weekend in Fort Worth. Yay! So, we are all making stuff as fast as we can to have plenty of product at the show. If nothing else, it will be a girlfriends weekend! That is something to get excited about. Truly, I need something like that!
I'm making tons of soldered charms for this event. This evening I finished up several with dried flowers or leaves inside....kind of floating with no background. No pics yet....but soon.
It is so warm here in West Texas. Almost kind of strange how warm and mild our winter has been. Even though this is how I wish it always was in the winter, it seems strange that we have hardly had any cold weather.....or moisture of any kind. The ground is cracking and dust is flying. We need rain, snow, or any type of moisture. Please send some rain prayers our way. You know it's bad when our local newspaper's headlines are "Pray for Rain". Appreciate any prayers sent our way.

Paper Flowers and Fabric Flowers

Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.

Laughing Out Loud

I still have some work to do on these paper mache letters. I finally found something to do with all the bits and pieces of things that I keep because they will be perfect for some piece of art.....some day. Today is the day! I really love this piece/grouping. LOL .....a good message don't you think? Go ahead, Laugh Out Loud.....it is very healthy and therapeutic. Today, I bought the soundtrack to Mamamia and I have enjoyed the heck out of it. I really enjoyed that movie. I have discovered that people either love it or hate it. I just think that it is so cool that Meryl Streep totally stepped out of her norm and went for the musical. She did a great job and I can't wait to see it again. It is a great girlfriends and sisters movie. I highly recommend that you go and get it and go to your girlfriends house and watch it and....oh....I don't know......LAUGH OUT LOUD! Let me know if you do and how it goes.

Lost Sole Challenge

childs shoe in front of hs Originally uploaded by Funky Art Queen I'm starting to wonder if I am the only one that sees all these single shoes on the road. This is not the first time I have addressed this isue on my blog . I see at least one single shoe every day on the highway or a street in town. I don't understand where all these shoes come from. Every time I see a shoe on the road, I wonder how it got there.?.....I wonder what story goes with the shoe. If it is a childs shoe like this one, I wonder if a mother is going crazy searching the house for this shoe? Why just one shoe and not the pair of shoes?! I see shoes on the road all the time. They are just not always in the most convenient places for photographing. But, on occasion, these single shoes are in a location that I feel comfortable enough to stop and photograph them. The particular shoe was spotted in front of the Big Spring High School on 11th place. It was late evening in the summer so I felt very comfortable in...
