Some Of My Latest Work

Here are some things I have been working on in my studio. The first is my contributing page for the Love & Hope for Our Little Angels - Etsy Cottage Style book that will be auctioned off for the National Children's Cancer Society. Several artists have joined together to create this one of a kind book. I wouldn't mind bidding on it myself because the art work I have seen by other artists, so far, is amazing.

I also spent some "me time" making another piece for the ECS Fun Friday Challenge. The theme was to use a hat, or a picture of a hat, in any way that you wanted. I found this adorable picture posted by freeparking on flickr and he gave me permission to use it. After I found it, the whole thing just flowed together and I just love it when that happens! There is a copy from an old photo that I have and an old advertisement for hats. I also used some of my favorites, old buttons, lace, playing cards and more. I really like the way it turned out.

I think it is kind of funny, because it says, "Smile, if you love your hat". But, no one is smiling. Why was everyone so serious back then?

I am excited to say that Sherry and Carolyn have invited me to post the next Fun Friday Challenge. I am really excited to do this. Stop on by if you would like to see what idea is up my sleeve.
Have a great one! Off to watch Ghost Hunters - BOO!

Beautiful work Rhonda!
I watched Ghost Hunters to last night, I would LOVE to go with them. I am a big fan of "steve" (?), the tattooed one. I love his spirit, and he is so darn funny. Afraid of almost everything...but loves ghost hunting. We could be soul mates!!!!
