Day of the Dead!

A few years ago I decided to have a fall party.  Not wanting to be like everyone else, I decided to make the theme “Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead!”   But being a white girl, and having many friends who didn’t understand this theme, only my “Artsie Fartsie” friends showed up.  They really get me!

I did this for a few years, and still, only my “Artsie Fartsie” friends showed up, with few exceptions.

So today I’m going to post some of the skulls I created for these parties.

They were fun to do, and though time-consuming, it felt really good to complete some dozen or more skulls.

I think we had four large, and ten or twelve small skulls……..

All decorated differently.

I hoped you had fun seeing a different kind of artwork, and  that it will give you some inspiration to create something outside the box.

Note:  Outside the box probably depends on where you live, and what you already create!

As I look for new themes, I’m also considering a name change. This is a huge step, and one I’m not sure I want to take.
There are so many themes, names, colors, text styles, and fonts. could this be more than I’m willing to take on, or even have time to take on?

Am I crazy? Why change something that is working? The question is…..Is it working, or could it be better? We all want to be the best we can be, so if it could be better, why not?

A lot of questions without any answers. Or are the answers to be revealed? Maybe I should consult some trusted friends. Someone who will be honest, and tell it like it is!

Ok, so all my trusted friends (you know who you are), would you please weigh in on this…….

Time Out for Art!

Today being Thursday, it’s once again Time Out for Art Day!  I thought I’d throw in a little abstract painting I did a couple of years ago.   Maybe I’m trying to inspire myself to keep painting, or maybe it’s an attempt to get some of you to paint abstractly.  Abstract painting is  fun, and it finds its own way….

Time Out for Art has been inspired by Zebra Designs & Destinations, I know you’ll find them as inspiring as I do!
