THE SWAPS IN ME


I ADORE A GOOD SWAP.  IT GET YOUR CREATIVE JUICES GOING.  IF YOU ARE WITH A GROUP THAT YOU KNOW.  YOU WILL BE REWARDED TRIPLE FOLD WITH YOUR ENDEAVORS. RECENTLY I DID A WONDER TRIPLE TRIPTYCH SWAP WITH THE DELIGHTFULLY  DEVINE DENISE PHILLIPS FROMWWW.BirdnutsMixedMedia.blogspot.com
MY SWAP
I LOVED THIS FACE THAT I GOT WHILE TAKING AN ON LINE PHOTOSHOP CLASS WITH PAMELA HUNTINGTON.  I PUT HER ON A HAND PAINTED BACKGROUND AND THEN ADDED THE METAL RULER WITH TINY CLOTHESPINS
  

PART TWO "EMPTY NEST" I COLLAGED  ARMS AND BODICE HOLDING A NEST.    KNOWING THAT FRESHMAN COLLEGE TIME WAS NEAR AND I HAD A FEW FRIENDS THAT WERE FEARING BECOMING "EMPTY NESTERS" I JUST HAD TO ADD THE LEAVES AS FAIRY FEATHERS (WINGS)

PART THREE WS THE SKIRT AND SHOES,  I SCOURED MY  STOCK OF IMAGES UNTIL I FOUND A FASHIONISTA'S DREAM TO BE QUIRKY BUT BLEND TOGETHER!    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE SHOES GIRLS.  THIS PICTURE SHOWS MY TWO SWAPS READY TO BE MAILED OUT. I DID A DUH.  HAHA I FORGOT TO PHOTOGRAPH MY MAILING ENVELOP AS ANYBODY WHO KNOWS ME (THE POST PERSON HATES ME) I MAKE MAIL ART.....
I WAS REWARDED WITH MAIL ART! HOW CUTE IS THIS ENVELOP?  IT BRINGS SUNSHINE ON A CLOUDY DAY.... OH I DO HEAR A TUNE IN THAT SAYING....TEE HEE

WHAT A CUTIE PATOOTIE OF AN IMAGINATION WENT INTO THIS LOVELY PIECE BY FIONA RANDALL FROM www.artfulmuse.blogspot.com . "THE SEEDS OF OUR IMAGINATION" NOW HANGS FOR THE MONTH IN MY STUDIO TO OOOOOHS AND AAAAAHS  ( THEN IT WILL BE RETIRED TO MY 2013  JOURNAL, WHERE IT WILL BE LOVED AND LIVE AND CHERISHED)

BUT HELLO I GOT TWO, YES TWO FOR THE PRICE!
 THIS DELIGHTFUL ATC TRIPTYCH WAS CREATED BY DENISE PHILLIPS!   NESTING IN MY LIL STUDIO FOR THE MONTH.   HOW CAN YOU NOT GET SUNSHINE AND INSPIRATION FOR LOVELY ART THAT IS SENT YOUR WAY?  SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?  GO FIND A SWAP AND MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY.... I AM ALREADY SIGNED UP FOR TWO MORE ... YES I WILL SHARE WITH ALL OF YOU.  HAPPY DAYS
