I'm a Basket Case! My old computer died and I mourn it's demise still as I sit in front of this new laptop whose tiny keyboard does not fit my hands. It's so sensitive if I barely touch something I never know where on the page I will find myself. My typing speed and accuracy is a thing of the past. If I linger too long on a word the darn thing thinks I want to start the sentance over and it moves back and I find myself typing what I thought was the end of a sentence only to have made it gibberish. Woe is me, I think I'll pull that big key board out and reattach it but ..........
Sorry my laptop has other ideas about maybe dis-attaching me altogether, so I have to go now.

Scooter-Bot

She has her little silver scooter with the bright blue wheels, wearing her pretty pink slippers she is ready to be adopted and rescued from my dark storage closet. She wants some fun in her life now that her reincarnation is complete. A lovely cat head placed upon metal robot body and recycled Bratz doll feet and shoes and she loves her new makeover.

Awareness

Your journey starts with only the self and the awareness of that self and it's basic needs. The journey has many twists and turns along the way, puzzles of the heart and pieces that fit while some do not. A crooked road is not a bad road if the end result is being true to yourself and the world Mother Nature has given us.

Blue Mood



I suppose you would call this my "Blue Mood" period, but only because I seem to be drawn toward creating things that have the color blue as the focal color. Another view and a larger photograph which I will use for some artwork I am doing. I am using the print of this and then using some water color to add to the piece making it more of a scenic piece with flowers and swirls. Just an experiment to see if I can handle a brush and some color.

Recycled Avon Jars

I was a beautiful cobalt blue glass Avon salt shaker who lost her pepper partner still with the fragrance inside and never, ever used as a salt shaker. Now I am embellished with silvered jewelry pieces some of unknown ages and past lives. My base is a silvered necklace made from tiny little rounded pieces of metal and I was very expensive in my day and wound my way around the neck of a Lady of taste and elegance but when broken I was tossed aside with no future to look forward to. A little Kokopelli sits upon my top edge who was not treated well but now has a place that is safe and surrounded by friends. The very top blue bubble was a Christmas Ornament of thin glass which was only brought out for December holidays, but now I am in the sunlight daily and love it.
