The Countdown is near as Winter Begins. What about you?

mixed media art created by Amy Flowe

Winter is my favorite season aside from Autumn. Being in North Carolina though, Winter is mild. Thank goodness the Winter Warlock's cold exterior melted and the Grinch's heart grew 3 sizes. Let's not forget that Ebenezer Scrooge has a new outlook on life as well. What are your plans for the new year for yourself? What is something you will strive to do? Please leave me a comment, I would like to know.

About the Art:

This old clock stopped telling time a long time ago, but don't be sad for it, it has a brand new purpose! To house this little Happy Meal Madame Alexander doll head. Glitter and glitter and more glitter! oh My!

Ready for the Holiday Season?

This little Snowflake girl is!

Oh No! I just realized that my list of blogs and websites that I love and have posted here has been removed, please be patient with me as I try to rebuild that list, I'm not really sure what happened!

Happy Holidays!

This little song and video came on Yo Gabba Gabba today and I thought it was very sweet. I don't have any new work to share so I thought I would share this. Happy Thanksgiving.

Woven Roots

A gentle reminder to weave within you all of the darkness, confusion, brightness, and possibility that comes with having a soul.

Vintage Tattoo Images

I have had tattoos on my mind for a while. I have several images drawn out for my own tattoo which I would have placed on the inside of my left forearm (below the bend). It sparked my interest in old tattoos and woman who dared to get them back when it was highly unacceptable to do so. These are some that I found...I think they are awesome especially the last one with the bird.

Indian Summer

Indian Summer

In youth, it was a way I had

To do my best to please,

And change, with every passing lad,

To suit his theories.

But now I know the things I know,

And do the things I do;

And if you do not like me so,

To hell, my love, with you!

So I am extremely ready for Fall. I want to feel air on my skin. I haven't really gotten my act together as far as creating has gone, but I do share some of my older pieces that I never got around to sharing. I seem to always have a camera in my hand verses scissors and vintage images. I took this shot today while sitting in my yard allowing my dog to run free. It felt good to be out and made me think of late blooming and revival, thus Indian Summers.
