Blustery — my word to illustrate
For the Art House Coop's visual encyclopedia project, another of my words is blustery. What's your first reaction to blustery? Probably same as mine. Betcha' it is... Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. Right? ... read more
Aerie, one of my “words” in the Canvas Project
While researching aerie, one of my project words, and trying to find more than "nest of a bird on a cliff or mountain top", I came across Coven of the Mother Mountain Aerie.

Art House Coop — Canvas Project Volume 2
Registered for new projects at Art House on Thursday. (click on the link to learn about the Canvas Project) The 5 - 3"x3" canvases arrived today.

"I don't know his name but his face sure rings a bell" "Elvis Parsley" and the ever popular "So I bit him." which will be written in tiny script over a miniature stage complete with velvet curtains, wooden stage, smallest ever microphone and a teeny barstool. Unless -- I can't make the 3" square 3D. If it has to be painted, so be it. Odds are I'll cover the whole thing with beeswax, natural color. ... read more
