i revisited this piece. 






thinking she might need a face






and some touches of orange and white paint

along with collage bits.







the two african dolls are from 

my collection.  i see a resemblance.



studio peek






over the years i have sent and received

mail art.  here is a small example.



a note

yesterday i found a great number of your comments 
that were left for me on this blog that i had not seen before 
or approved for publication.  i can't tell you how i missed them 
but i am glad to have found them.   so, with egg all over my face,
i apologize each of you.  
your time is valuable  and i appreciate your taking the time to 
leave me a message!  as you know, we blog in the dark, not knowing 
who reads or what the reaction is to what is written ... kind of like walking down a dark 
tunnel with no directions.  your comments let me know that you are there
and how you feel about what is written.  i will be responding to those of you
who were kind enough to take your time to communicate
with me.  to tell you the truth, along with feeling aghast,
i was also delighted to see so many comments.

thank you again!



thank you for visiting today.
on fridays i post collaboratively
with artists at paint party friday.
you are welcome to visit the site 
where you see a wealth of creativity there.

  6. Ohhhh what a difference a face can make with a bit a sprucing paint. This is a striking piece. Glad you found lost comments. Happy Easter.

    1. Yes it is good to revisit a piece. Actually it is essential. I can't seem to 'see' right after. I seem to need the time to come back with fresh eyes. It sounds like you do as well.

  8. Gorgeous piece!! Love how this came together!! As for the comments...most people never go back to see if they were published so don't give it another thought...it was you who lost out at the time!! However you must have needed them when they appeared!! You are loved!!

    Hugs Giggles
