Red Hot...

These beautiful peppers and garlic are putting me in the mood to make some chili. I'm getting tired of leftover turkey!

Original photos taken at a street market in Vienna.

"Jute" texture added to both photos.

This little piggy...

This little piggy is flying in to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

My dear friend, Betty, gave me this darling ornament - she knows I have a thing for flying pigs!

A single rose...

While walking around Vienna, I came across this lovely little rose placed on a fence. It appeared almost shrine like...I wonder what the backstory is...

fashionistas...

It is always interesting to see what young people are wearing these days.

Original photos taken in Vienna.

I know it's popular to let bra straps show, but this seems a bit much to me. What say you?

I like her sense of style.

Several textures and filters added to my original photos.

One my favorite things to do is make journals and altered books. I've been invited to exhibit my mixed media and fiber work at Pamela Larkin Caruso's studio/gallery in February. Pamela's work is bold, humorous - fantastic! We're thinking hearts. It's going to be lots of fun.

A sample of my "love" journals which will be offered for sale in February.
