I'm Off to a New, New Year's Start!

You may be wondering, "What on earth is she up to, now!?" Well, through my dear friend, Monique, (see on side: Inside Number Twenty) my recent Fair & Square partner, and designer of MyMark designs...I found a link to some of her friends who are making mixed media creative arts! Monique is participating in these several creative arts groups. So, I decided it had been a while since I'd been practicing, and I should make it one of my New 2008 promises to get back in the swing of my other art forms, too. Off I went to start a project...

If you're interested in joining Monique and me in the fun, just check out these couple of places: Patty's blog--Magpie's Nest or Theme Thursday

Patty and I are already emailing and she's great! Note her comment on my last blog entry.... If you visit her, please tell her I sent you.
So, here is a close up of my first panel. This is a birthday gift piece for my DH, Anthony, whom most of you know is Sicilian. It's a tongue-in-cheek..."soft porn" piece or what would have been considered one in the year 1900. This image of the woman is a "Cigarette Girl." Evidently, men used to get these little cards in their cigarette packs in those days..collectible little things...hmmmm. And, we didn't think great grandaddy had any vices!??

I thought DH would get a kick out of this piece, because he is so difficult to find presents for, and he would never be expecting something like this one!! I'm off to find a frame today before he gets home. And, I'm giving it to him tonight with a bottle of Dom P. champagne! :) (And no gauzy outfit on....)

More later!! Hugs, Deb
