It's wonderful, Jill. The fact that you're rusty makes it even better. You mentioned a messed-up corner to me but it's not at all apparent.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work!
Jill....rust is good when it produces something like this! I love that little guy. How did you do the dots? Gorgeous lace, too! You're not rusty at all.... : )

It IS wonderful, my friend! I'm so glad that you found some time and creative energy -- doesn't it feel good to get back in the thick of things?
ReplyDeleteYou must be feeling pretty proud of yourself, because that is a great piece of art. Keep it up. I always love your art.
ReplyDeleteYou are waaaaay to hard on yourself! This is GrEaT! I saw TH's YouTube video on the masks and thought they were very cool. I WON some Grungeboard from a scrapbook store and I'm not quite sure what to do with it. Any suggestions???
ReplyDeleteOh! It makes my heart sing to see some of your art again! I love it, Jill! You're not rusty. It's gorgeous!
