Cold and "spooky?"

Yesterday (Thursday) was one of our coldest days so far this year.  We had temperatures in the teens for a low and the highest temp was about 38ยบ  - For Alabama that is cold, although I remember colder temps.  
Today I woke to see this 
Snow is unusual in Alabama. Today there is a "lot" and there is ice under it.
Those lights show that we still have electricity. That is good because bad weather normally causes some loss of power in this area. 

Today is Friday so for the Friday Face Off  I will show this work in progress. 
You can see dark circles through the eye fabric, that is because I let the 
embroidery machine sew the lines for the eyes.  Then the fabric was a
bit thin and those lines show through. 
The button on the nose is part of the fabric print.  I started to use those flowers for 
the eyes, reminiscent of the book Coraline. (If I had done that the eye circles would
not be showing. 

Happy Friday
Stay Warm!

2025 First Finish - err Sort of....

Today, January 2, 2025,  I pulled out a piece that I have slowly worked on and decided to finish it.  Well, almost.  You see, I don't consider it finished until I mount it on a canvas so that it is ready to hang on a wall.  

I think it is lovely and I am very happy with it. 
The size is 13 by 10.5 inches.  I will mount it on an 11" by 14" canvas for hanging. 
The black border will virtually disappear into the black edges of the canvas. 

And for the Friday Face Off, here is a picture of me onstage. 
I am "one of the villagers" in Young Frankenstein.
I added the trim to a vest that I got from the wardrobe collection of the company. 

Friday Face Off is hosted by Nicole. 



I hope we all have a lovely and creative new year.

Faces on old Compact Discs

Years ago a friend taught me how to use compact discs that were no good to paint on.  Back then you would get a CD in the mail for various internet providers such as AOL among others.  She was coating them with gesso and painting on them. I painted several and some went out in art swaps that we did online,  At that time postage was much cheaper. 

Here are three that I found a few days ago while going through some art.
