http://www.flatstanley.com/how.html

So Flat Wendy is going to be mailed to my Italian Internet friend, Juana, who is also sending her flat self to Peterborough! We are going to blog about our adventures so please stay tuned for reports about our super fun Summer Art Project! Well, one of them! lol I'm very excited about going to Rome, at last! And learning some Italian! Benissimo! Ottimo!

My muse, Lisa Vollrath, also did something like this! See Flat Lisa here.

Make It Mondays Dog and Cat Challenge

Aries and Noke love each other. Of course, I have Bobby, Tech and sundry other cat and dog photos to play with. Let's call The Tiger and The Wolf the first in a series....

Aren't they sweet? They don't know that cats and dogs don't get along!

I've Picniked this photo. (Careful, it's addictive!) I think that rendering them in pencil equalizes them visually and just looks really, really neat. In colour, my pusscat is a lilac point Siamese...whites and mauves and blue eyes, while Nokey Dog is sable, black and white and brown eyed. I like how removing the colours brings out their faces while sort of blending the two of them together in a lovey-dovey way.

Yay! One down and what, 3 more to go?

Found Objects, Hats, Silver .... Ack!

Wow, I am a little behind with my Make It Mondays challenges! *She understated*. Look, you're just going to have to accept that this is my nature! I'm an Aries with a Gemini moon. This is what we are like! lol! I'm a great starter but I'm also short attention spanned and easily distracted! *sighs* I've got all the stuff for the challenges...just need to photograph and post....

I wear hats constantly, even inside sometimes, so I can't let the hats challenge pass me by. It looks like my pal Rietta, pictured here, will be involved. She came into the bookstore with this crazy feather Xmas tree and I made her put it on her head! Which she, a Gemini, was more than happy to do! hee hee!

This Monday's challenge is another highly relevant one! What are the chances!

Navel Gazing

Here's my entry for last Monday's Make It Monday challenge. I made this digital college at www.picnik.com. The individual photos had already been fooled around with so I just had to drop them in the template and tweek. I like the Poloroid effect! And the 'handwriting'.
